Sun Belt Showdown: Which Team Will Seize the Unexpected Opportunity and Dominate This Season?
One exciting thing: A potentially dominant offensive line, anchored by all-conference performer Pat McMurtrie at right tackle. He may well be the best OT outside the power conferences.
Player to watch: Barnett. If he’s healthy, we know JMU has a good quarterback. If he’s not, either Sluka or Coleman has to step up to keep the Dukes in the playoff race.
Sun Belt Projected Records
2. Old Dominion
- 2024 final TRACR rank: 1st (5th OFF, 1st DEF)
- 2025 preseason TRACR rank: 2nd (11th OFF, 2nd DEF)
One scary thing: The nice TRACR (Team Rating Adjusted for Conference and Roster) last year didn’t convert into many wins. After a 5-7 season, ODU has all the hallmarks of a team that’s about to fire its coach if things don’t improve quickly. Ricky Rahne is 20-30 in four seasons, and he also had a fifth, 2020, to start building his program. (ODU was one of the few FBS teams not to play at all in the pandemic season.) You could imagine things tailspinning with early trips to Indiana and Virginia Tech.
