Need to beat FAU in Miami. After that we face #7 at Memphis, #6 Tulane at DATCU, and #5 Army at DATCU on consecutive Saturdays - a stretch that will define this team.

We have a bye week on Nov. 2 before we face Army on the 9th. We will have a little extra time to prepare for their offense.

Yeah, talk about an opportunity! It would be amazing if it happens.

<dream>
Win all of those and we've gotta' move to at least #3 because UNLV/BS would have met by then. Liberty has a pretty easy schedule until they finish out with WKY and SHSU the last two games.

Finally, knock off Navy (after they've beaten Notre Dame earlier in the year) in the conference championship game. Then Navy beats Army to go to 12-1.

I think our schedule strength puts us ahead of Liberty and the UNLV/BS winner.

I think Washington State and Oregon State should be included in this poll. You know, to get ahead of the inevitable push to declare the new-PAC above the rest of these conferences and to watch the reactions in Pullman and Corvallis. Hahaha.

Week 6 graphic is wrong. UNLV is 5-1, not 4-1.

KingDL1 · October 14

We are 5-1 also?

Yeah, and BSU.

Looks like it should be week 7 and they haven't produced it yet because the text talks about BSU heading to Hawaii this week, then an off week. Maybe it will be out in a couple of hours.

I think this poll is about right, but they never give us any respect. Like the CBS poll has Memphis ranked 47 and us ranked 63. If we beat Memphis, they will drop them like 15 spots, but will only move us up like 3 spots. It's like it pains them to give North Texas any respect.

MeanGreen01 · October 15

Would agree with that but in CBS defense on the rankings, hard for them to rank us any higher with the Tech blowout. Tech hurt us bad with perceived strength. I think we are ranked about right over all. If we had a defense, we would be right up there with Tulane and possibly Army.

Here's the updated graphic (from footballscoop.com) for week 7.
We're up to #9. AAC has 5 out of top 9 but that's gonna' change once we start playing each other.

@MCMLXXX Update the top post with this graphic and I'll delete my post so we can keep the updated status at the top of the thread.
