Funny tweet....

But it points to a catch 22 with CUSA. The parity (or parody) is fun to watch in conference. However, it will keep the conference out of the NY6 conversation...

What's better for CUSA? A deep conference? Or a top heavy one that puts the champ in the national spotlight?

The same argument is being made about the Big 12 vs the SEC and getting in the playoff. The SEC is top heavy where the Big 12 is deep. It will probably keep the Big 12 champ out of the playoff this year...

 

What say you?

Oh man.  Some good ones here.

UNT - Over

FIU - Over

FAU - Under

I wanted to pick UAB - Under.  But, their schedule is a piece of cake.

By deep do you mean Oklahoma followed by a bunch of average to below average teams? I mean I guess 3 top 25 teams in the Big 12 is better than the 6 top 25 SEC teams? Name 1 school not named Texas or Oklahoma that would finish 5th or better in the SEC West. Any SEC West school not named Arkansas or Ole Miss would instantly be at worst the 3rd best team in the big 12. The Big 12 isn’t deep, The big 12 is a bunch of average teams beating each other.

I'm just going off what I'm reading and hearing.

Baylor and Iowa St are getting some love and are expected to make some noise. TCU is kind of a wild card. The Big 12 champ could have 2-3 losses was my point. It's interesting...when that happens in the big 12 it's because they suck. When that happens in the SEC it's because they're good.

I think the SEC is overrated. Everyone talks about the great Defenses but never considers the bad offenses. 

Big 12 went 3-1 against the SEC last year in the bowls. I mean I guess the SEC is still much better? Don't know how else to compare them.

We will get a good indication on September 7 when the 3rd or 4th best team in the SEC takes on the 2nd best big 12 team.

      Mississippi Valley State (12/18/24)

      I'm gonna say yes...but probably not as much as people (including me) will want. unless something has dramatically changed in the last two weeks in practice, I gotta think the rotation is still the rotation and given that we're coming in off 2 straight loses, my bet is that Hodge will want the rotation guys playing as much together as possible heading into conference play. had we beaten High Point and/or if we had a better schedule that didn't have a two week gap in games, maaaaaaaybe RH would've experimented/tried to build more depth a little more...but given circumstance I'm preparing for little more than freshmen cameos.

      Portal WR Cameron Dorner - Shepherd

      Committed to North Texas. No idea what happened to the X links above. https://www.journal-news.net/journal-news/shepherd-transfer-portal-frenzy-d1-commitments-big-offers-and-a-standout-returns-home/article_237da94a-66bd-5bc5-b98f-299985e895f2.html According to this article, he turned down offers from 12 other FBS/FCS schools to come to Denton. It also lists him as a team captain.

      Breaking: North Texas lands Miami QB Transfer (Free)

      We can complain all we want about Aune but he holds the single season record in TD passes. While QB play wasn't perfect after Fine left, it was a heck of a lot better than right before Fine got here. I completely understand that. This is no different than any HS prospect or even an FBS transfer. Not all QBs can replicate their previous success in a new system. I'd still rather have a guy who was accomplished than somebody who never saw the field. Every transfer is a risk no matter what. Your logic is severely flawed though. Cam Ward was once a big time FCS transfer and was just a Heisman finalist with that Miami team you're trashing. Joe Burrow was once a career backup on an Ohio State team that couldn't win the championship and look what he did. If you want to get even crazier with it all, Stetson Bennett was once a walk-on who then transferred to a junior college before transferring back to Georgia to win a couple National Championships. We can go on forever with this. We got a guy with success at the D1 level. More success than Chandler Rogers had. There's no reason to believe he won't work out here.
