ESPN: Does North Texas have a chance?

“…as much as some want to see mid- major champions over middle of the pack power conference teams, it’s unlikely to happen this year with UNT…likely doesn’t have enough on the resume to get a bid…just one Quadrant 1win all season…suffered a suprising loss in the conference tournament…”

Broken record but we beat Buffalo and UTEP and we are in. Would have stayed in the top 40 net. 
 

Crazy our first D1 game of the regular season and last D1 game of the regular season caused the tilt.

Ehh maybe. I think if we hold on to that Miami game and still dropped the Buffalo/UTEP games, we’re in. But you never know. My mind has shifted from getting in the NCAA tourney to trying to win the NIT.

I don’t think we get in, but you never know. We are in the conversation and have the win over Purdue last year in recent memory. At the very least we should be set up well to make a deep run in the NIT. A potential matchup with SMU for a trip to MSG is tasty.

I’d love to go to MSG, but you gotta win 3 games first to get there. Always tough, but a few years ago Western did it.

Wherever we land, I have faith that we make noise.

Stranger things have happened. But not frequently. If the committee had something really weird in their breakfast and it would lead them to want to, they would find a decent enough argument to defend NTs inclusion. However, it is unlikely that their breakfast will be that out of the ordinary

Meh, I hoped for more.  This is a top 60 team with a regular season title.  I think should get you in.  I have never been a fan of large bracket conference tournaments.  

This.  There are too many P5's with marginal records getting in just because of what conference they are in or past accomplishments.

100% this. And it's BS. 

Tired of seeing 18-13 "major conference" teams steal spots as 10-13 seeds just to get bounced early.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Here’s the thing, I don’t think even you believe they would have lost the way SMU did. Penn State won by 28, but they could have made it more…SMU was NEVER in that game competitively…and they never should have been in it at all. They dodged the only two “decent” teams in a VERY weak ACC during the regular season and lost anytime they played a decent team.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Look, as for SMU….they’re 30 minutes down the road. You can say “why are we talking about them” they’re in the top 12 playoff. We have to get over it. We’re college football fans. Of course SMU being in the playoff is going to be discussed. But as for their performance….it was expected. They got super lucky with their schedule this year. Just like Indiana. If you plugged Memphis or Tulane in their spot, they would’ve done the same thing. Their QB is no better than most QBs we faced in the AAC this year. Our QB was as good as him. That’s just the truth. so they were a really good AAC team this year that got a super lucky schedule in a bad conference. I don’t hold anything against them for that. BUT We can’t really discuss them for much longer because the current college landscape is set up to make them a national powerhouse. They have a good coach. He is. And he got them in the national discussion. And they can take that with their money and go on an unbelievable run. Their QB won’t be here next year. Of course he won’t. They’ll pay a better one. Their NIL will dwarf every team in the ACC. I would bet their NIL will be top 10 in the country. Maybe top 5. They’ll have more $$ available than Bama. Arguably UT. What do they need? 4 star DE? 3 top OL? QB? 2 WR? There’s no cap to what they can pay. So we have to move on from SMU. They will be in the playoff a lot. So of course we’ll talk about them because they’ll be in the playoff. But we have to get over it. Are they scum bags? Yes. Of course. They have too much money and they will win. The landscape has changed. And they will succeed because they can pay. We have to hope we break off and do our own thing

      My post was sarcasm. Not only would they have to install a new system, but as I said, they would have get to know the players as well. It’s ridiculous to think it should be done or even could be done.
