"From October 17 to November 28, the Eagles might have been the best mid-major. They beat five admittedly awful teams by an average score of 46-15, then they went to Ruston and punked a solid Louisiana Tech to win the C-USA West out of nowhere. Midway through, 6-6 seemed like a solid goal. Southern Miss finished 9-3."
lol... sounds familiar... except USM played Mississippi State, Nebraska & Washington
I can't wait for the Mooooooo write-up... if they even do one.
USM is projected 72nd in S&P+ and plays only one team projected higher. The trip to LSU is a likely loss, games against Kentucky, Marshall and perhaps Louisiana Tech are basically tossups (with a coin slightly weighted in USM's favor), and the other eight are likely wins. But those projections are based on Monken's work. A coaching change always threatens progress.
If Hopson is able to navigate, the Eagles will have a solid shot at their second 10-win season since 1988, when Brett Favre was a sophomore.
