First, I never said JMU was down this year. I said App and Coastal were.
We play in the best G5, yes, and excluding Marshall the best teams are Louisiana, JMU, Texas State, South Alabama, and Ga So. So we have missed all the top teams so far except Ga So, the game we lost. Our best in conference is our newest over ODU. They are ranked 7th in the conference.
Because of this, despite playing in the toughest G5 conference and playing Ohio State and VT, our SOS is still over 100, very similar to the Doc CUSA days.
This year is very much like 2015 when we won 10 games, but the schedule was so weak who knows if we were good or not.
If we beat JMU on the road, that’s a good win. If that happens we will likely go play Louisiana at their place. That would be a good win.
