  ESPN's "The Eliminator: The fall of the College Football Playoff pretenders", has the North Texas Mean Green as being eliminated from the CFP in Week 2...wait, is ESPN saying that if we would have beaten SMU we would have been a potential CFP team after Week 2?  What if we had beaten Iowa?  Wonder what week we would have been eliminated...

  How many bowl eligible teams have we beaten this season? 

  Need to go undefeated next year, see where we land in the bigger picture...

In the top 25, but nowhere close to the top 4. UCF up until their division title game vs USF was taking just about everyone they played out to the woodshed vs a perceived tougher/better conference. At that point I believe they were at #15 in the CFB playoff poll. They might be at like #13 right now. There is not a cold day in hell chance a G5 opponent makes the playoff in the current format of a 4-team playoff. Best chance would be to schedule the entire OOC slate vs P5 teams on the road. These P5 teams would need to be of Iowa's caliber or better. Beat them handedly, 14+. Then demolish the entire conference X G5 team is in by 28+ points per game. Then, they might throw us a bone for the 4th slot. And I would still think some chips may need to fall right, as in a couple 2-loss conference P5 champs.

  fbsschedules.com has our tentative '18 OOC schedule as: vs. SMU (love it), vs. Incarnate Word (is it blasphemous if we dominate them?),  @ Arkansas (big opportunity here), and @ Liberty (...).  

  Could our Mean Green start 2018 at 3-1 or better headed into conference play?

That little 0-12 season a bit ago.

In what other sport or league does previous seasons ever matter to the current one?! That makes no sense and just another reason this monopoly system is jacked up.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      You mean the playbook that famously can be drawn out on a napkin?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
