Bottom 10, Bottom 25

[Mean Green 93-98]

Some teams of note:

23. Southern Miss: 0-1

Best Win: None | Worst Loss: 34-16 vs. Mississippi State

Average Score: 16-34 | This Week: vs. Austin Peay

The Golden Eagles may be ranked this week, but they played better than I expected. I hadMississippi State -21 as my lock of the week in Pick Six, but Southern managed to cover. I guess they just didn't cover enough.

 

14. SMU: 0-1

Best Win: None | Worst Loss: 56-21 vs. Baylor

Average Score: 21-56 | This Week: vs. North Texas

It makes me so happy to see our defending champions back in The Bottom 25 to start 2015. What doesn't make me as happy is how feisty this team looked early against Baylor. I am seriously worried that SMU will not be able to repeat this year due to being too competent.

 

11. Texas: 0-1

Best Win: None | Worst Loss: 38-3 at Notre Dame

Average Score: 3-38 | This Week: vs. Rice

Man, things have gotten so bad for Texas that the Longhorns can't reach the Bottom 10 either. Seriously, Longhorns, either Notre Dame is very good, or you are very bad.

 

10. Texas State 0-1

Best Win: None | Worst Loss: 59-16 at Florida State

Average Score: 16-59 | This Week: vs. Prairie View A&M

The easiest way to begin the season in The Bottom 10 is to schedule a road trip to Tallahassee to start the season. Good thinking by the Bobcats.

 

9. UTEP: 0-1

Best Win: None | Worst Loss: 48-13 at Arkansas

Average Score: 13-48 | This Week: at Texas Tech

You know, if you get run over by Arkansas, it's not exactly a shock. It happens to a lot of teams, because that's what Arkansas does. When you have Arkansas airing it out against you with ease, though? Well, that might not bode well for the rest of your season. The Razorbacks averaged 15.4 yards per pass attempt! Not completion. Attempt.

 

5. Texas (0-1)

The first coveted No. 5 spot of 2015 is painted burnt orange. But hey, chin up, Bevo! At least you're not the highest of the lowest ranked Big 12 teams!

 

6. Texas State (0-1)

Actually, Bevo, on second thought you can put that chin back down now.

Because a Bottom 10 wasn't big enough?

Because a Bottom 10 wasn't big enough?

There are a lot more FBS teams than there used to be. 

[oldguystudent]

There are 128 FBS teams, yes?

I count eleven football teams in the Sunbelt (nice balanced scheduling there, Karl).  Of those eleven, I see two that would probably beat us...soundly.  So

128

(11)

+2

----

119 teams not in Sunbelt and/or not Appalachian/LaLa and/or Ark St.

That puts 11 Sun Belt teams in the bottom 25, with 16 spots remaining, less 1 token spot for a P5 program. Soooo. to sum it all up

#hittop103notsunbeltteams!

Whoa!  Achievable goals!
