His school’s all-time passing leader, Mason Fine, leads leads his North Texas team down I-35 to take on the Mustangs after a victory over Abilene Christian in which he threw for 383 yards, completed 75 percent of his passes and four touchdown passes. UNT jumped out to a 31-0 lead before the first half ended and cruised to a 51-31 win. 

On the ground, UNT put up a solid 5.6 yards per carry, and has plenty of weapons out of the backfield like Deandre Torrey (11 carries, 95 yards) and Loren Easly (nine carries, 51 yards, one touchdown). But where I think SMU will have trouble is containing Fine and head coach Seth Littrell’s passing attack. UNT has numerous weapons on the outside, and given how susceptible to the big play SMU seemed at times against ASU, some of UNT’s burners on the outside could give the Ponies some trouble.

Okay, nice write-up, sure. But:

Little odd, no?

I don't know how old he is, but Nate does his research and is usually fairly accurate in his assessments. I did not read much that I could disagree with.

Are you suggesting it's not possible? 

Me saying that something is not going to happen does not mean that something is not going to happen. (Only my bride can do that)

Anything is possible (except my wife being wrong about something, obviously), but I still disagree with his predictions - especially the score and that the SMUt offense is better positioned to score on us than vice versa.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      These conference wishlists are fun to discuss but in no world should UNT share a conference with Tarleton State and SHSU in 2025 lol I’d love being in the PAC as long as some other AAC members follow as a package. That conference wouldn’t be as friendly regionally but there would definitely be more opportunities for national recognition in the PAC especially in basketball.

      TXST in the same conference would be fun, but there are a lot of great moves to make... many of the current teams in our conference need to be kicked out first to avoid cheapening the media payout.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      Before the PAC2 raided the MWC, I had been a supporter of joining a rebuilt PAC, as long as it was a true "Western Conference" of D1, and we shared a nice little 6-8 division with the likes of Memphis, UTSA, Colorado State, Air Force, New Mexico, Tulane, and a Rice or Tulsa. But it did not appear the PAC was going to bring enough programs close to DFW to make the added travel and exit fees worth it. Still don't know how the MWC held onto UNLV and Nevada, otherwise it'd be an even crappier conference than CUSA. But unlike the PAC7, it will still be recognized as an FBS conference next July. Doesn't seem like Memphis, Tulane, and USF will be going there, especially with an unknown TV deal. Ultimately I think with realignment, one of the G6 leagues will dissolve. The American struggles by being a league with several new teams, no notable rivalries, and no regional tie like the PAC, SBC, MWC, and MAC claim. And there are plenty of moves we could make to improve across many sports, but the league is so saturated. If it were up to me, I'd get Rice, Tulsa, Charlotte, Temple out of the conference. Force FAU and UTSA to find a solution to their high school gyms. Add Texas State, James Madison, Liberty, Western Kentucky, Appalachian State, and Louisiana. That would create a 16-team conference with a 8-team West Division UNT would share and play annually against with UTSA, TXST, Tulane, Louisiana, Memphis, Western Kentucky, and UAB. Instead of playing frickin' Temple three times in three years. That would leave us at 15 teams for basketball, I'd add up to three non-football members between Dayton, St. Louis, VCU, Richmond.
