UNT ranked #7 in Texas!

[Ross Hodgeson]

I was pleased to see this:

Am I the only one struggling to understand the TX State ranking?

[NT93]

If we’re ranked #7, I would expect to be behind maybe TCU, Baylor, and Houston, but ahead of Sam Houston and Texas St.

Funny that the #15 team took the #4 team to overtime and that same #4 team beat the #7 team by 30.

They lost to SHS by one and one of the Arizona schools by just a few so they are ranked about right . The 5.,6,&7 teams are pretty even. Getting stomped by Tech did us no favors.

DCTF -
Note: Teams are measured against the overall strength of their conference. 

1.  Texas Longhorns 5 - 0

Texas was idle in Week 6 ahead of the Red River Rivalry against Oklahoma. The Longhorns should be the No. 1 ranked team in the country by Monday afternoon.

 

2. Texas A&M Aggies 5 - 1

Conner Weigman and Nic Scourton led the Aggies to a statement victory at home over Mizzou. Texas A&M is 3-0 in SEC play and on a 5-game winning streak.

 

3. SMU Mustangs 5 - 1

The Ponies are in ACC contention after consecutive wins over Florida State and Louisville. Kevin Jennings passed for over 200 yards and rushed for over 100 in Week 6.

 

4.  Texas Tech Red Raiders 5 - 1

Tahj Brooks topped 100 yards and scored the game-winning touchdown in a late-night victory at Arizona for an important road win.

 

5.  Sam Houston Bearkats 5 - 1

Sam Houston thumped UTEP on the road to start its march towards a Conference USA title in Year 2 as an FBS program. K.C. Keeler deserves his flowers.

 

6.  North Texas Mean Green 4 - 1

The Mean Green was idle in Week 6. They continue conference play this weekend on the road at FAU.

 

7.  Texas State Bobcats 3 - 2

Texas State stopped a two-game losing streak with a rare road win at Troy. The Bobcats remain in Sun Belt Conference contention.

 

8.  Houston Cougars 2 - 4

A road win over TCU propels the Coogs up the list despite a losing record. Zeon Chriss looked tremendous in his first start as Houston's quarterback.

 

9.  TCU Horned Frogs 3 - 3

TCU has lost three of its last four games after the home defeat to Houston. Penalties and turnovers are dooming the Frogs.

 

10.  Baylor Bears 2 - 4

Baylor is now 0-4 against Big 12 foes in 2024 even though the Week 2 defeat at Utah doesn't technically count as a conference loss.

 

11.  UTSA Roadrunners 2 - 3

UTSA gets a chance to right the ship in Week 7 against Rice. The Roadrunners were idle on Saturday.

 

12.  Rice Owls 1 - 4

The Owls had a much-needed weekend off to regroup following the Charlotte loss in Week 5.

 

13. UTEP Miners 0 - 5

Scotty Walden's group remains winless after five games of his tenure. The second half of the schedule is much easier than the first six games.

The tech game was definitely a perception nightmare.  We got caught in a momentum avalanche where 1 bad play led to another one, and another one. By the time we got out it was embarrassing.  That being said, I think that game affected both programs for the better.  Tech got a little bit of swagger back, and we were forced to admit we needed changes on defense.  
 

Let’s see how it plays out from here.  I believe that, even though it hasn’t been the strongest competition, our last 2 games have gotten the attention of our conference mates.  We aren’t “ sneaking up on anyone else this year.

Until we see this (new) defense against a competent defense, I am not sure we could beat anyone in that top 10.

I don’t think we will ever see this defense against a competent defense.  That’s just not how football works.  😂😂😜😜

Pet's heads are going to fall off if UTSA loses to Rice

Damn good point 😂

Ags have big win against the Tigers. Mustangs are for real, trouncing TCU, Florida State and beating a very good ranked Louisville team on the road. Will Dave Aranda get fired? The Bears are not good at all. Rice still stinks.

There are about to be mass defections from Baylor commits when Aranda gets canned in early November.

Maybe this (new) defense is making these offenses look incompetent.

Same at TX St.

Does SMU not have a fanboard?

I would say anytime a coach leaves you have decommits/transfers

Certainly but Baylor's entire class is set to dissolve.  Most kids committed only b/c of NIL promises which will no doubt be thrown into question with a coaching change.
