Appalachian State Mountaineers

The Mountaineers might have taken a step out of the spotlight with Coastal Carolina and Louisiana rocking, but now they’re about go come back rocking. If the QB play is fine, look out – Coastal Carolina has to come to Boone.

Coastal Carolina Chanticleers

After a season of all seasons, Coastal Carolina has everything in place to keep it all going with another loaded team along with head coach Jamey Chadwell, who somehow didn’t get a bigger gig quite yet. The Chanticleers have to go to Buffalo, Appalachian State and Georgia Southern, but there isn’t a game on the slate they can’t win.

Georgia Southern Eagles

The only problem is a Sun Belt East that’s going to be fantastic again. The O line might be an early issue, too, but it’ll be fine. There are a whole lot of landmines including dates with BYU and Coastal Carolina at home and road trips to Arkansas, Florida Atlantic and Appalachian State.

Georgia State Panthers

Everyone is expected back on offense, most of the starters are back on D, and … the schedule is a massive issue. Getting Army, at North Carolina and at Auburn hurts with trips to Georgia Southern, Louisiana and Coastal Carolina coming later. The team will probably be better than the final record.

Troy Trojans

Don’t sleep on a Trojan team that will get lost in the preseason attention with everyone loving the rest of the good teams in the East. The biggest plus? Almost all the starters are back to go along with a nice push from the transfer portal. Take care of most of the home games, and getting to six wins is possible.

Arkansas State Red Wolves

Really? ASU got Butch Jones as the new head coach? He should be good, there’s enough incoming talent from the transfer portal, but the schedule is a potential bear. Memphis, Washington and Tulsa are all non-conference problems, but Coastal Carolina, Louisiana and Appalachian State are all at home.

Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns

The machine should keep in rolling with Billy Napier still around and not the head coach of some Power Five program, and he gets back most of the key parts of the team that rolled to a 10-1 2020 season. The Ragin’ Cajuns have to go to Texas, Georgia Southern, Troy and Liberty – all four of those games are dangerous – along with home battles against Appalachian State, Coastal Carolina and Georgia State at home.

South Alabama Jaguars

There are enough interesting parts in place for new head coach Kane Wommack to work with, starting with former Utah and South Carolina QB Jake Bentley. However, the schedule isn’t going to help the cause with a rough run of four road games in five weeks before closing out against Coastal Carolina.

Texas State Bobcats

There’s a chance this becomes one of the Sun Belt’s hot teams. The offense is going to be fun, but the defense has to improve. There are just enough winnable home games to take a good step forward, but road games at Coastal Carolina, Louisiana, Georgia State and Arkansas State in the back half of the season are disastrous.

ULM Warhawks

It’ll be interesting to see what new head coach Terry Bowden can do right away. After one of the worst on-field seasons of anyone in 2020, it’s still going to take a whole lot of work just to be respectable. It’ll take several big upsets just to get close to .500.
