MEAC STANDINGS
1. ... Delaware State
The Hornets may have the most complete team in the MEAC this season.
2. ... Hampton
Don't think for a second the Pirates are in a rebuilding year.
3. ... South Carolina State
A suspect defense may prevent Bulldogs from winning MEAC title.
4. ... Florida A&M
The Rattlers are close, but must do a better job against the run.
5. ... Morgan State
The Bears are a sleeper pick, because they return almost everybody from last season.
6. ... Bethune-Cookman
The Wildcats can score, but they also give up a lot of points.
7. ... Norfolk State
Quarterback Casey Hansen could lead the MEAC in passing yards this season.
8. ... Howard
The offense needs to help out the defense more this season.
9. ... North Carolina A&T
Head coach Lee Fobbs doesn't want to wait too long for that first victory.
10. ... Winston-Salem State*
The Rams play a full MEAC schedule this season.
