Why is USM ahead of NT?

 Thinking the exact same thing. We just kicked their asses on their home field and we are far behind them in the ratings 

[southsideguy]

UTSA is a head of SMU?  i  know i used two negatives in the same sentence.  UNLV is ahead of us?  who made this list or did someone just make it up.

This list makes no sense. Isn't Idaho an FCS school?

No they're currently in the Sun Belt, but getting kicked out after this season. Last I checked, they can still choose between remaining an FBS Independent or going back to FCS.

When was Idaho ever FCS?  They're an erstwhile PAC team.

Long ago, but not at recent as I thought. They were in the WAC which wasn't FCS, and they were Independent when we played them in 2013 (legit thought they were FCS back then). But another correction: seems like they've decided to drop to FCS. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idaho_Vandals

I knew they were going to the Big Sky since the Belt was dropping them, but didn't think they had ever been FCS/1AA before.  I guess they came back up to the Big West the year after us--I don't quite recall that.

MY MAN!!! 

[akriesman]

That list needs some serious work.    FIU ?    They have played nobody.   Charlotte is really bad and FIU barely took them yesterday.

[DeepGreen]

And the fact that Tulsa is even on the list at 1-4 tells the accuracy of the list.  But wait!  Those AAC teams shouldn't even be on this list.  Aren't they P6???

[kj86]

This one seems more reasonable.  It's based on the Massey Composite.

ESPN FPI rankings have us and our remaining opponents ranked like this:

71. Army

73. nUTSAck

88. FAU

89. La Tech

92. UNT

109. Old Dominion

126. Rice

129. UTEP

 

I agree with the above posts that we just need to win games and worry about ourselves.  But if I were to worry about anyone else's rankings, it would only be the teams left on the schedule.  And these can be marked off the list 1 week at a time.

 

Win the games we should win and we get to go bowling again.  Win a couple more and we could be hosting a championship game.  I'm really excited for the remainder of the year.

I don't think Army is that good, and I don't think ODU or LATech are that bad.   I'm still not sure about UNT.   UTSA is about where they should be having only played 3 games, with one of those being a Baylor win.

I originally predicted an undisciplined FAU team to lose to UNT.   They just beat MT (granted, MT was without Stockstill).  I'm now worried about the FAU game.

ODU is 2-2. Their two wins are UMASS and Albany (FCS school?). Their offense seems pretty weak. They've lost to North Carolina and Virginia Tech ... and they lost to them bad. It'll be interesting to see how they handle FAU.

[BTG_Fan1]

Has FAU improved since the start of the year? or am i just completely over-looking them?

I would have thought they would be much lower, but I'll admit.. I have not even looked at 1 stat for them
