Good start towards the season, good start indeed.

Update: Added in the average votes towards the chart.

This is interesting because doing this poll, I was shocked to see some teams as low as they are. Personally, if anyone was going to win the East from Coastal Carolina this season, it would be Georgia Southern. The West is a bloodbath in its own right so its still hard to judge what will come up this season. It will be interesting to see how poll will correlate towards the end of the season.

Sun Belt 2022 Preseason Coaches Poll (6 of the current 9 coaches reporting) Coaches Predictions to Win OPOTY: QB Eugene Salas WR Rakeem Brown Coaches Predictions to Win DPOTY: DE Sean Boone DE Ryan Starling DT Shane Gallegos DE Dwayne McCrary Most Predicted Sun Belt Championship Game: Louisiana-Lafayette vs Coastal Carolina

East seems about right. The West is interesting however.

So the West is closer than I thought, but ULL exists.... Also god damn App State.

Good article @imerman, I think that this division will feel close (like last season) but ULL has showed themselves to be the top team while everyone else is building. I also disagree with Arkansas State being second due to the fact that Salas has lost most of his supporting cast. Also seems accurate for us but I'm hoping we can improve our conference record from the past 2 seasons (both 4-4).

Also great article @Bruno

Coastal Carolina seems to be the favorite but both of the Georgia schools are looking good for the future with their two original classes developing. Also here's to Troy possibly playing spoiler this season towards the top 3 favorites. Also App State time will come. Eventually.

I got my QB

I don't know about y'all but I think this Rice team is pretty good.

AAC : 25 Big 12: 25 Big Ten: 24 FCS: 25 Indy: 27  MAC: 30 MWC: 35 PAC-12: 15 (-5) SEC: 28 Sun Belt: 10 (+5)
