ESPN's spring preview began today with CUSA East... If you aren't an ESPN insider and can't read the whole article it boils down to they think the division will finish.
1. Marshall 8-4
2. FAU 7-5
3. Western Kentucky 6-6
4. Charlotte 5-7
5. MTSU 5-7
6. ODU 5-7
7. FIU 5-7
The ESPN predictor model has our "likely wins" as NC Central, ODU, MTSU, FIU, Charlotte and WKU. The "tossups" as ECU, Navy, UAB, North Texas and FAU. The only "likely loss" is at Appalachian State.
Personally, I think they are giving way to much credit to the CUSA East bottom feeders. There's little to no chance the worst team in the division goes 5-7 or that four teams finish with that record. Also, I think there will be less parity than what the ESPN predictor indicates. My guess, MU wins the division at 9-3 and either ODU or FIU (or both) finish 3-9.
