We have a very favorable conference schedule this season. Most of the tougher games will be home games.
The pre-season C-USA coaches poll results were as follows:
2015-16 C-USA PRESEASON POLL (#) first-place votes
1. UAB (11)
2. Old Dominion (3)
3. Middle Tennessee
4. UTEP

6. WKU
7. Rice
8. North Texas
9. Marshall
10. FIU
11. Charlotte
12. Florida Atlantic
13. UTSA
14. Southern Miss
Road Games

Home Games

Only 1 road opponent was ranked higher than us in the preseason poll (UTEP). We play ALL the teams ranked higher than us at HOME (UAB, ODU, Middle Tennessee, and UTEP). Playing the 3 teams expected to be the toughest at home only could help us this season.
Anyone brave enough to predict our conference record?
