Wouldn’t shock me to see 0-4 for this grouping.

Remember, McMahon couldn’t beat Nicholls St at home.

Look, I don't have much faith in McMahon. Personally, I think this year is just a delay of the inevitable. But he has generally been ok against comparable non-conf. opponents. They beat K-State on the road, FSU at home, and UCF in a neutral site game last year. The loss vs. Nicholls remains an outlier.

2-2 against that group? Particularly with all 4 being away from home. Ok. 0-4, while possible, doesn't seem likely based upon past history.

Schedule is about what could be expected. I mean SEC is hard. Who knows how we will perform. lots of new pieces so they either work or don't. Time will tell.

I'll be in the PMAC to see for myself.

Drake is almost certainly a loss. They are a flat out better program than us, mid major or not. BC away should be a win, but he's lost to much worse teams. SMU we literally lost to last year. GT should beat Depaul and then thats a toss up.

Sure 0-4 might not seem likely, but its certainly entirely possible for McMahon. That is the main issue.
