Phew, you don't hold back, do ya? lol
My two cents:
This will be the last year the ODAC will come down to BC/HSC (solely) ... the top two teams finishing 6-0 and 5-1 in the conference will more than likely change over the next couple years, at least the two teams that have been finishing with those two records.
I certainly hope BC will win it all again (with 32 guys that as seniors in HS watched the Eagles play on ESPN ... now is there chance to get there).
HSC will be tough though ... a healthy Ricca, a hungry Junes, three of the top four receivers from last season, and a defense that can only get better ... not to mention the game being where it is this year.
I'm going to say E&H will finish in the 3 spot ... not because Monty will "come in a change everything around" but rather an offense coming back that can put up 40+ ... always a threat with that type of firepower.
I drop the Generals to 4th, but only because they play much better at home (went 4-1 last season, losing only to HSC by 3 pts). They have to travel to HSC, E&H, and RMC this year ... yuck. They'll drop two of those three and lose to BC.
RMC has another year to go until they are in the top half of the ODAC. They brought in 60 newcomers for camp, and bring back some studs on the defensive side of the ball from last year.
Catholic will beat Guilford, so the Cards get the nod at #6 ... give Coach Tom two more recruiting classes and CUA will no longer be a gimme game.
Guilford ... shesh, I mean, what do you say for them. They need not be in the ODAC since they aren't in the state of Virginia ... but they rock at golf, and hit full court shots, so they give the conference some PR.
So here is my ODAC projection;
1 - BC, 6-0
2 - HSC, 5-1
3 - EHC, 4-2
4 - W&L, 3-3
5 - RMC, 2-4
6 - CUA, 1-5
7 - GC, 0-6
