Solid.  Not sure if SJB beats SFA with its glaring weakness at QB, but fortunately we don't have to speculate this season.  Odd that Jason's actually stepping up THIS season instead of last.  SJB definitely doesn't beat MD, though.  Gawd, I hope MD rubs it in, too.  Both times.

SJB at STA on 8/26 is an even bigger game IMO.

I think you're right.  Wouldn't surprise me at all for SJB to lose both, actually.  Still miffed that STA hasn't returned the favor and played at SJB, though.

@GardenStateBaller Considering SJB almost certainly loses both to MD, could this be SJB's first 4-loss season since Negro took over?

They'll def be the favorite in the SFA game. 1-3 at worst IMO.

Bc of location, I presume?  I see SFA beating them on a neutral field that early in the season.

Remember, SFA plays road games at Buford, C-M and ESL leading up to the SJB game. SJB -3

True, and those are much tougher than most of SJB's, but they will have also traveled to STA.  I'm just not sold on their O with Sanchez.

I like SJBs coaching advantage.

I agree.. SJB trenches are no where near the level they are used to. Right now, SJB rankings are based on their past success and its program. They're still solid, but no elite OL/DL linemen, best OL committed to SMU.. none of their other OL have offers or being highly recruited and their potential starting DL, goes 6-5 220, 6-2 240, 5-10 285.. just to put in perspective .. Its just a far cry from the past few teams.. so I would have started them no higher than #5.

100%  I see SFA and STA slicing that OL up.  MD even more so.  Gonna get ugly.

They will have that, yes.
