Well folks, that was bad and I’m not talking about FAU’s performance against Oklahoma. In Weeks 1 and 0 Conference USA went 7-8 to start the season. Four of those wins came against the FCS.
The average margin of victory over FBS teams (Miami OH, SMU and South Alabama) was 11 points. For added context, Miami was picked to finished third in the MAC East division, SMU was picked to finish fourth in the AAC West and South Alabama was picked to finish third in the Sun Belt West. Not a great opening week for the conference.
This week C-USA could have a much better go of it as five teams will play FCS teams.
