How bad was our offensive line this past year you might ask? 108th in the country. Jacob Brammer had the highest grade with 69.4. Our center had a 19.2 grade. That's horrible and one of the main reasons Mason was running for his life.

Meh. 

Wouldn't look too much into grading linemen. 

1623 yards on 396 attempts = 4.1 ypc. 

26 sacks given up for a -178 yards. 2.1 per game. 

The offensive line by no means stellar, but I take 0 stock on some Joe blow 'grading' them out individually as a unit failure/success. 

I get that Mason Fine will live in lore around here, but some fault has to be laid at his feet (like a lot of his centers snaps; which was a bigger issue than maybe anything else in regards to the OL).

PFF provides data to 70 CFB teams and draft analysis to NFL teams. However, anyone with a brain could tell you that our OL and DL were bad this year.

Our center having such a low score had to not only do with the constant pressure in Mason’s face, but also the timing that was continually thrown off by this horrifically low snaps. If Mason was 6’4”, he would’ve have 30 snaps side behind him.

Whether some Joe Blow graded them or not, it was obvious to anyone paying attention that our line was horrible.   They were often beat by 3 rushers and could not be counted on to get a critical 1 yard conversion.

Brammer being graded out as the highest-rated OL is problematic of either 1 of 2 things:
1. Our OL was way worse overall than I thought.
2. The person doing the grading was having a stroke while dwelling on UNT's OL.

The stats are the stats. I put my trust in those as far as grading them out. 

By the mythical eye test, yeah, they were awful at times. But the stats are still what they are.

      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.
