Super Region Two
CIAA
Predicted Champion: Bowie State
Looking up at the gauntlet that is Winston-Salem, Bowie has a premier offense for the conference — led by quarterback Amir Hall — and should be able to power their way into a conference crown. Shootouts will be the norm when watching their games, but BSU should be one of the better teams in the region.

Gulf South
Predicted Champion: Valdosta State
The Blazers lose a lot of defensive talent that led the nation with 27 picks last year, but the offense comes back strong and should allow time for the other side to grow. Games against North Alabama and West Georgia will prove if VSU can be champions.

South Atlantic
Predicted Champion: Catawba
Our first bold prediction, Catawba was slotted fourth in the preseason SAC poll. But this team is littered with playmakers, and should surprise some folks in 2017. Some big tests await, but the SAC is slightly down from a year ago, and ready to be taken.

SIAC
Predicted Champion: Tuskegee
The SIAC was one of the wackiest conferences in 2016, with 5-6 overall Fort Valley winning the title. Tuskegee was picked first in the West division this season, and with superior talent over most of their foes, the Golden Tigers should take home the title.
