That system doesn't take in point differential, or at least considers SOS much higher than point differential.  

That system believes that ANY loss to Washington/WSU/TROY are better losses than ANY loss to SMU/Florida/MTSU.  

 

Not saying I agree with it, but the teams we have lost two have a combined total of 7 losses, while Idaho has lost to teams with a combined total of 3 losses.   Any system is flawed.  I don't think we would beat TT even they are ranked below us there.  They beat LaTech pretty handily.

In 20 years, we'll all tell stories about when THE University of North Texas cracked two random college football sites' top 80 #rankings. (sarcasm)

Let's keep it going by crushing the birds!

Win this one and homecoming and Top 60 will be in range. I'm thinking that this week will be a little tougher than many expect, but I think that we pull it off in a relatively low scoring game. Their guys in the trenches look to be a good bit bigger and more physical than Army's. We've just got to continue to win the T/O game and get Fine going a little more through the air.

But are they as fast as our guys?

Losses to Florida and this year's Middle are good losses. That smug loss is what is holding us down in any ranking system. If we are 5-2 with our losses to only Middle and Florida we would surely be ranked in the 60's and maybe even high 50's. I hate smu. Their cheating scandalous 30 for 30 came on ESPN2 the other night. Of course, they grew their 'tradition' with cheating in the 80's and now they get publicity and a 30 for 30 all for them due to cheating. Like I have said in the past, what's the downfall when it puts you in relevancy and keeps you in it. Make no mistake, Dallas media would gawk and awe at the notoriety of those nose thumbers if they were just 5-2. The media publicity would be unbearable. We have to beat them next year. It's a must win game.

Sounds like a good rivalry to me!

      Love me some Chico with the jet black Roy Orbison interim hair. For me Chico is like Creed. I'm not supposed to love them but I do. Coach Canales loved North Texas more than most alumni.

      Earth to GMG

      This world does not exist anymore. It used to, but not in the portal and NIL age of college football. If players cared about coaching staff stability they would not be transferring at the rate they are. If this thinking permeates our AD, then they need to look for a new line of work because that ship sailed. Seriously, how many 17-18 years olds sit down and review the contracts of the coaches to decide which offer to take? High school recruiting should be de-emphasized. It can't go away completely, but building a program through the high school ranks over multiple years no longer works. When recruiting high school players, I think the only "stability" play is academic stability. There are a lot of players that have the skill and ability to play D1 football, but won't make it to the next level. Hopefully they are smart enough to realize that. Sell them (and their parents!) on playing a sport they love and getting a solid education and degree while they do. That's why it's important to continue to improve the academic status of UNT. We're not going to be a Stanford, but improving 4-year graduation rates and tighter admission standards will help.

      AAC Trend - Year 2 of 5 Firings

      At this point in the football cycle, if you fire a coach then you throw away all the recruiting work being done for the following seasons. The portal opens up in just a few days, and most AAC schools build their next years roster in the transfer portal. How hard is it going to be for these programs to build rosters for next season if they dont have a head coach going into the transfer window?

      I hope we lose to Temple

      Remember how much we hated La Tech in the 90’s and ‘2000’s? How we mocked them for stupidly going from an Independent in the 90’s to wasting the mega bucks on travel in the WAC in the 2000’s, and their obnoxious fans coming here talking trash? Then 2012 happened…… https://coachad.com/news/did-louisiana-tech-really-turn-down-a-bowl-game/ They had elevated their program to the point that when they lost the last two conference games of the ‘12 season finishing 9-3, and ending as the nation’s #1 offense, they were so damn upset over it they chose, either directly or indirectly to not play ULM in the Independence Bowl. That announcement was the day I practically fell in love with their school and their program because to me it was the greatest stance on principle and accountability and a standard they felt they had set for themselves and held to. Since then, we’ve been there several times, you and me, and have seen how poor their athletics were funded all those years, which gained even more respect from this college athletics fan. That’s where I am as a fan and alumn of NT right now. Wishing we would set a standard, a high standard and stick with it. Rick
