fredmerc111	20	The offensive line is fantastic. The defense and coaches have some questions. This positioning is undoubtedly because of last year’s record, but they return the most important position and have no doubt earned this spot until proven otherwise.

bretticus733	24	Tulane’s 2022 came out of nowhere and might be the best in program history. But can they live up to the hype this time? A turnaround of 2-10 to 12-2 with an AAC title and Cotton Bowl win was such a huge swing that it’s fair to question if that season was a bit flukey. They return Michael Pratt under center but Tyjae Spears leaving is a huge hole in the offense. Defensively, Tulane returns just 3 starters so I have concerns about their defense. The offense and Michael Pratt could make or break Tulane’s encore season.
Casaiir	24
Corgi_Koala	24	Great team returning a great QB and coaching staff- not common at the G5 level. Manageable schedule has me leaning for them to repeat as conference champs. Ole Miss is their only loss on my radar. Look for them to finish 12-1 and contend for a major bowl again.

FourteenClocks	10	From 2-10 to 12-2, including a startlingly quick comeback win over the Golden Boy, the argument could be made that no fanbase had a more satisfying season than the New Orleans rich kids. With many of their successful colleagues gone, these guys have to be the ass-whoopingly dominant favorite to claim the AAC again. They could also call their shot against the lone P5 opponent on their schedule, my Ole Miss Rebels (not ranked, by me)--that early matchup at home is, unfortunately, the upset I'm most expecting in September. That would garner some attention; not enough for the Playoff committee to care, but screw them. I fully expect to see Willie Fritz in the NY6 again.

throwaway_6786	13	This team 100% deserves better than the #24 ranking that the AP gave them. I know Tyjae Spears is in the NFL now, but the Green Wave still have plenty of talent to go around and unless they start losing games, they don't deserve to be dropped too far (especially since they won a NY6 bowl against the Heisman winner). I know it's easy to just toss the G5 teams a bone in the 20s and forget about them otherwise, but there are some good G5 teams, and based on 2022 results, Tulane is the best of them going into this season.
charmingcharles2896	14	Returning as much talent as they are, while retaining Willie Fritz, expect the Green Wave to shock people and return to the New Years Six.

ScaratheBear	19	Last years Tulane team had a dream season. Win the conference, 12 wins, and beat snobby USC in the Cotton Bowl in a GOTY candidate. The classic AAC powers are gone, and Tulane returns star QB Michael Pratt behind the best OL in the AAC. They should be favorites in all but one of their games (Ole Miss), and Fritz can coach with the best of them. Could be talking about Tulane being a dark horse for the playoff in a month or two.

TinderForMidgets	21	A preseason conference favorite, Tulane is expected to do well this season. They might lose Tyjae Spears to the NFL but return experienced QB Michael Pratt and a talented offensive line. They also need to replace key contributors at defense but still have talent. It's going to be hard to see Tulane repeat last year's unprecedented success but they still have a strong enough group for this team to win the conference.
