This one is interesting, and the writer certainly doesn't think to highly of SoCon football and shakes things up in his ranking: 2019 Southern Conference Football PredictionsHere’s my ballot in the 2019 Southern Conference football media poll. As I researched the conference, the demise of the league’s football strength became apparent. No team really stood out, and every team seemed to have some sort of weakness. This is not the year the Southern Conference rises from the ashes and brags about being the best FCS football conference. Frankly such restoration to glory is unlikely to happen with the current membership, but the conference has enough fan support and talent to make things interesting. So, in reverse order of projected finish: 9. Samford. Last season the Bulldogs disappointed after being picked to win the conference, finishing 6–5 after a 1–4 start despite the presence of Devlin Hodges, the all-time leading passer in FCS football. But Hodges is gone and it seems the player everyone is raving about is Chris Shelling. When your best player is a 5–8 wide receiver, I’m inclined to believe there isn’t a whole lot else. medium.com/@markybillson/2019-southern-conference-football-predictions-5fde80a4e332

What kind of name is Marky Billson? His photo looks like something from a 1965 high school yearbook. I just can't take anyone seriously with a name like that who thinks the SoCon sucks in football. We aren't the MVC, but I think the conference is definitely in the top 4 or 5 nationally.

Well - I may eat my words, but I think #9 Samford could be a better team than his predicted #2 (homeboy) ETSU.
