Way too early for bowl location speculation. Hell the playoff is still on the table for us if we run the table. And if all the higher ranked G5 lose more games than we do on the way to a AAC title we still might get in. Don't get me wrong I won't scoff at being bowl eligible but I want an AAC title game appearance to get excited about post season football. Far more people will watch that AAC title game than a random mid-week Bowl Game that may not have existed before rivals like UTSA joined FBS.
I think the difference I have seen is the defense. When we went to Lubbock, this defense was in shambles. That's not to say they are world beaters or can hang with major programs, but I have to admit, they look different. I think the next 2 games will show a lot more.

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.
