In the FCS Huddle: Kicking off with FCS predictions
By Craig Haley, FCS Executive Director
As we anticipate Thursday night's season-opening whistles, here are some In the FCS Huddle predictions for the 2012 campaign:
- Conference champions: Big Sky, Montana State; Big South, Stony Brook; CAA: Towson (or it is James Madison because it's easy to flip-flop); Ivy: Harvard; MEAC: Bethune-Cookman; Missouri Valley: North Dakota State; NEC: Duquesne; OVC: Eastern Kentucky; Patriot: Lehigh; Pioneer: San Diego; Southern: Georgia Southern; Southland: Sam Houston State; and SWAC: Alabama State.
- Montana will play in the best non-conference (Appalachian State) and conference (Montana State) games of the year.
- The most overlooked teams of the preseason will wind up being Bethune- Cookman, which will win the MEAC; Southern Utah, whose senior class features NFL-bound quarterback Brad Sorensen; and Weber State, which may even be underrated in its Big Sky Conference.
- The most exciting team will be Eastern Washington, with its tremendous passing offense, and a defense that tends to keep victories in doubt.
