The Real Buffalo Joe Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 My Houston fanhood may make my opinion bias, but I feel our conference is not only as good, overall, I'd say we're better than the Big 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 The Big 12’s history helps the reputation And the best team is a top team almost every year, sometimes a few of them and the only legit schedule, teams in the Big Ten can avoid the best in a given year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 AAC by far. Conference USA is next. Then it's everyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plenzmd1 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 CAA top to bottom better than all those conferences? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMU destroyed East Carolina last year, Richmond destroyed Virginia, We get to see JMU at NC State this year...hmm that might be a damn good game. Surprised NC State took that game. Lots of CAA, Power 5 matchups first weekend of the year..lets see how they do!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the best FCS conference and probably equal to some FBS conferences. But it's not better than the AAC or C-USA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always tough to find a line on the games though...books think folks who follow FCS have to distinct an advantage in FCS vs FBS games.. Not sure if i like any of the games this year..going to Richmond UVA game, but losing Lauletta hurts the Spiders in a big way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 most of the better teams have probably left those mid-majors since I last paid close attention? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted August 23, 2018 Author Share Posted August 23, 2018 I was at the game where Houston sacked Lamaar Jackson 11 times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 American Athletic Conference is the best. After that it's a close call between Conference USA, Mid-American & Mountain West. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NC State should be a 7 or 8 win team this year but from what all I read with JM, they are one of the best FCS teams in the country. Line hasn't come out yet but my guess is NC ST will be giving them at least 10 and possible more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hot and humid big advantage for the FBS team. If I was to play it, would be the money line on JMU to win outright unless you getting 14 or more. These games can snowball in the 4th if it's a 10-14 pt game...cause the 2's on NC State are going to WAY outclass the 2's from JMU. Always hard to find ANY lines on these games. I have not seen any lines yet on the FBS-FCS matchups...can just tell ya I am not touching the Richmond-UVA game..and not going this year..but we are having a big party to wtach and root against "The University" ( said in the snootiest tone I can muster!)

Nice! I always have a big College Football opener party Labor Day Saturday. Have been doing it for 16 years now. The one friend that comes over does pretty good the first weekend betting FCS/FBS matchups. Problem is they usually don't come out with the lines until the day before the game so not much time to do research. Noon Kickoff at State, I am sure the weather will be a scorcher. probably stay away from that one. Line should be right around 14. Money line would pay quite nicely.
