North Texas head coach Seth Littrell knows firsthand the challenges that come with turning a dismal program around.

Two years after inheriting an 11-1 program, Littrell’s Mean Green (9-3, 7-1) prepare to take on the Florida Atlantic Owls (9-3, 8-0) in Saturday’s Conference USA title game. Speaking to the media in a teleconference call on Tuesday, the third-year coach expressed his respect for the job FAU coach Lane Kiffin has done.

“I think he’s done an unbelievable job,” Littrell said of Kiffin. “It’s a challenge getting somewhere, building relationships, setting your culture, having your guys buy into it. … It’s a great challenge.”

Kiffin and Littrell faced off on Oct. 21, a 69-31 FAU win where the Owls recorded more than 800 yards of total offense. FAU players admitted after the win to being motivated by Littrell commenting that the Owls shouldn’t have scheduled the Mean Green for their homecoming game.

      Ross Hodge Replacement Candidates?

      Working on a long-term contract is not the same as getting a big raise and extension. To me it just means they're hearing whispers and are trying to lock him up before he takes another job. Not seeing anything that a deal is done.

      “Student Athletic” in college sports. JJ Watts’ take on the subject.

      And the NFL, with 32 teams, only provides a maximum of 16 games a week. The need for more games is there. But people won’t watch leagues that are considered “minor”. What they will watch, in person and on TV, are the kids who will be in the NFL, representing the schools of states and cities they live in or went to or grew up near. The problem is that there aren’t more than probably 30 brands that really move the needle for ratings and attendance. If the CFB powers decided to coalesce into the following schools, the media and most of the CFB fandom wouldn’t even think twice about those left behind. Washington, Oregon, USC, UCLA, Texas, A&M, OU, Nebraska, Michigan, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, LSU, Ole Miss, Bama, Auburn, Georgia, FSU, Florida, Clemson, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia Tech, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio State, Notre Dame, and Penn State. These schools play in huge stadiums that are almost always full when they play someone else on the list, they represent 99% of the eyeballs for TV, and the media cover them big time. And their alumni give tons of money to these programs. Sure, there are other programs that could meet some of the criteria I mentioned above, but nobody is clamoring to make sure they get to watch Utah vs Texas Tech or West Virginia vs BYU as if it’s the same as a game between the 30 teams mentioned above. At some point, the government will make its way to taking fees for athletics away from the students and making it paid for by alumni and local supporters. When that happens, CFB at places like here will probably end.

      What would be the top 3 places to see a game? Off hand, I’d say, Allen Fieldhouse, Cameron Indoor Stadium, and Pauley Pavilion, but Hinkle would be on the list for the next few places to see a game.

      They have the most money and the most talent. It’s probably going to be at least half SEC. I figure Florida and Auburn have great chances, while Tennessee has a fair chance, and Bama over Duke seems like a very low chance of happening.

      Houston vs Texas Tech for the title in San Antonio would feed families.
