ESPN picks BG last in MAC East for 2021

Post by BGSU33 »

To no one's surprise, BG has already picked up its first "picked to finish last" poll, this one courtesy of ESPN. Ohio and Buffalo were picked tied for first at 5-3 in the MAC, with the head-to-head winner winning the division.

Here's the link and below is the little blurb on BG:

Bowling Green

Although brief, Scot Loeffler's second season in charge offered no more promise than his first. After an 0-5 campaign, he's now 3-14 overall.

2021 Projections
Projected SP+ rank: 125th

Projected record: 3-9 (2-6), last in MAC East
GO BG!!!

I mean, at this point, I’d take 3 wins and 2 in the conference. Lol

We just need to show progress at some point. I don’t think anyone expects a WBB-like rise from the bottom to the top in 1 year, but we need something to show that the program has some life.

I just want to see proof of some talent on the field.

It’ll be interesting...not sure 3 wins is possible.

Technically the team could improve but still lose every game...that’s how bad they were last year

Ceiling: 5 wins. Floor: 1 win. Not sure I've ever put the ceiling at fewer than 6. It is hard to win games when you are a freshman / sophomore team. But if those freshmen and sophomores return as sophomores and juniors rather than disintegrate as the older classes have, then the program will finally start stabilizing after being wrecked in 2016.
MarkL has spoken.
You may all now return to your daily lives.

I'll reserve any opinions on this season until who we see the QB is out of camp.

Definitely not. Minnesota might end up being a top 25 team by the end of the year. Tennessee is going to be lucky to be .500
