Bowl Projections

[NM Green]

I don't know, the team I saw playing out there this past weekend looks like they could be striving for bowl eligibility deep in November.  I just don't think La Tech, S Miss, Marshall and MTSU are going to pile drive us like I thought they would before the season started.  I know it was one game but I had not seeing us win in Houston since like the 80's and even then that was on the highlights while living Stranger Things.  

I think San Antonio rises up and plays tough in SAT and gets us.  I think MTSU/Marshall is a split - leaning toward beating Marshall.  I think we get hammered by WKU and beat UTEP.  So that gives us 4 wins.  La Tech, Southern Miss and Army feel like toss up games to me.  We get 2 of those and we are bowling.

The season is early, and we are very thin. We just beat an 0&4 team and we are running with it to a bowl. Injuries, or lack there of, will play and important part in how we finish. So. far So.Miss.,La. Tech.,MTSU and W.K .are the class of the conference YTD and will be hard to beat whether it be at home or on the road.

I still think four wins is probably about the best case scenario...but it's nice to read.

Little early for the bowl projections, but I like to positive publicity.  Beats the hell out of being in the Bottom Ten.

I agree. I hope we can get something good (2 of 3) out of Army, UTEP and UTSA.  The others are really tall orders... maybe getting Marshall on a down year than they are used to will help... but, it would be a super tall order to win all four of those.

I'd order one QB per class, every class.

We have enough holes/lack of depth throughout the roster that I we need to address where we shouldn't be taking more than one good QB.

no bowl game this year, we are least a year away from it.

Back to reality - not only are we still on the Bottom 10 waiting list, but they have declared the game against Rice to be the pillow fight of the year:

2. Rice (0-4)

Rice blew a 17-0 lead and lost in a double-overtime thriller to North Texas Forty. The Owls and North Texas Forty have put the rest of the Bottom 10 on notice. Their game on Saturday wasn't merely the Pillow Fight of the Week of the Year 3 (PFOWY3). It might very well have been Pillow Fight of the Week of the Year of the Year thus far this year.

Just curious--they show us as 1-2.  Do the Bottom 10 folks not count FCS wins?

Or, they just can't count.

Looks like the Bottom 10 writer loves hate mail - seems to have got UMass out of the Bottom 10.

I went full Kool-aid and predicted a 5-7 season, and that seems likely to me, still. 6-6 is not out of the question, though! GMG!

This. They have Hawaii at 1-2 when they are 1-3
