Sun Belt Showdown: Which Team Will Seize the Unexpected Opportunity and Dominate This Season?
It could be a weird year in this league, though. Defending champ Marshall lost all of its key players, with a bunch of them going with the head coach to Southern Miss. Perennial contender Appalachian State fired its coach after a disappointing few years and now has to play catch-up.
JMU, likely the deepest team in the league, could wind up giving the bulk of its quarterback snaps to any of three players.
The Opta supercomputer might have a slightly different outlook. It calculates its projections with the help of TRACR (Team Rating Adjusted for Conference and Roster), which combines play data from the prior season with adjustments for recruiting class rankings, transfer portal additions, and other offseason roster turnover.
