App State picked #4 in SBC for 2014
We are getting a little love for first year in SBC. I would be happy with this finish for first year FBS.

Re: App State picked #4 in SBC for 2014
I'm hoping this one is closer to reality because - Phil Steele's magazine has us 10th - Ugh ---

Re: App State picked #4 in SBC for 2014
Truthfully, the 7th place prediction is the most realistic. Better than 7th would be a pleasant surprise, worse than 7th would be a disappointment.

Re: App State picked #4 in SBC for 2014
I have never been impressed with Phil Steele's analysis for any level of competition. I honestly am surprised that he retains any credibility over the years based on what I have seen historically from his publications.Phil Steele's magazine has us 10th
There is no doubt this year is a crap shoot for App with all the unknowns. However, I personally will be disappointed if we don't win 5 games. I think it is possible with our schedule that we could get to 6-8 if the team stays healthy. plays to their potential and gets a few breaks. At the same time, if we come out like we did first half of last year and we don't get any breaks (i.e. I challenge NC A&T to punt like they did last year ever again) then we may only see 2-3 wins.

Re: App State picked #4 in SBC for 2014
I really don't pay attention to preseason ranking or gameday predictions for that matter - Speaking of Steele's magazine, if anyone is a stats person this one is for you - I've never seen so many numbers, etc. ---AtlAppMan wrote:I have never been impressed with Phil Steele's analysis for any level of competition.

Re: App State picked #4 in SBC for 2014
Pre-season rankings mean absolutely nothing. In 2005, we were not ranked in the top 25 in the pre-season poll. It's hard to know what to expect, but I'm an unapologetic homer, so I think things are going to continue to turn in the right direction and the Apps will surprise some people this year. I will continue to believe that until I'm proven wrong on the field.

We should be able to count Campbell and Liberty as guaranteed wins.

Re: App State picked #4 in SBC for 2014
Then again, we should have been able to count NC A&T and Charleston Southern as wins last year.NewApp wrote:AtlAppMan wrote:I have never been impressed with Phil Steele's analysis for any level of competition.

We were out coached by Rod Broadway as I predicted.

I wouldn't call Liberty a guaranteed win. They won at Charleston Southern 56-14.

Re: App State picked #4 in SBC for 2014
I agree that we shouldn't count Liberty as "guaranteed". They are capable of playing pretty well. That being said, our loss to Charleston Southern was a direct result of our own failure to execute and a few really bad mistakes. They didn't come up and dominate anything. They did have a decent dual threat QB, whom I believe was injured and unable to play against Liberty. We all know what happens when you build a team around a stud QB who gets injured! App was a very different team at the end of last season than we were at the beginning.AppAttack wrote:I wouldn't call Liberty a guaranteed win. They won at Charleston Southern 56-14.
We have a lot of questions to be answered, but until they are answered I hope the team doesn't take a single game lightly.

Re: App State picked #4 in SBC for 2014
Oh sure, the coaches and team will study the past to prepare for the future - I am referring to fans still bitching about losing games in the past - time to move forward!!! ---WataugaMan wrote:Reminds me of the saying: "He who doesn't study the past is bound to repeat it".

I started at the top of the thread and read down, didn't read/hear anyone bitching??? Just being cautious and a little gun shy, that's all.

Re: App State picked #4 in SBC for 2014
Disagree, the Past can be a hell of a motivator. Especially when lesser team come up the mountain and push you around. I say let's marinate in the past to really peeve off our guys into making something good happen!WVAPPeer wrote:Time to get out of the past ---

No i am with you. I posted in 2011 that it was time to retire the "big house" t shirts and get on.
It is serious how this program has fallen since 2007.
