If you're "hmm-ing" that they may be too low...I'll agree.

Cleveland State is WAY too low at a 7. He also has Nova as a 7 and Florida as a 4...I'm not sure how much faith I put in this bracket

Cleveland State looks about right though? The committee usually underseeds schools like that. Butler was in the top ten and a 5 seed last year. Gonzaga was given like a 7 or 8 when they were in top ten as well. Now I know the committee usually looks at tons of factors, with AP/Coaches polls one tiny sliver, but still.

I don't see how Cleveland State should be a 7 when UCF is a 10. Swap those for sure, but Cleveland State should be around a 10/11 tops - we'll know a bit better what they're made of after their Jan 7 date with Butler.

Let some CUSA games get in the books and we'll see where UCF finishes the year.

They're good, they're playing well, they started hot... But you can still make a strong case that there are anywhere from 2 to 4 teams that will outperform them in their own conference.

Agreed...but get through any non-con undefeated and you deserve some props. That said, UCF has left the state of Florida once this season...their last win, 64-59 at UMASS. Aside from the UMASS game they've played one road game (@ Stetson) and one neutral court game (vs. Miami). I too am curious what they do in C-USA...I think Memphis and UAB are certainly better...maybe put Southern Miss in that discussion as well.

How's a 13 seed in Tulsa versus Texas work out for ya? I mean it's way too early to get excited, we're 1/8th of the way thru league play.

However, that is all sorts of awesome.

I would be there in a heartbeat. This would be fantastic! If we can just take care of business, this would be the best scenario (aside from the ever desired 12 seed).

The biggest positive I'll take at this point is there at least seems to be some debate as to where we belong. Last season we were pretty much hammered on to that 15 line by most of these prognostications.

Well...just more evidence that Joe Lunardi is a giant douche.

For additional evidence of his douchebaggery his two previous Bracketology brackets had UALR (Dec. 14) and WKU (Nov.10).

I don't have any issue with him picking Western at the start of the season (though he could have picked last season's champ), but for UNT not to get mentioned in any of the three is just douchetastic.

I agree with the both of you!

Lunardi picks WKU a lot because he has a thing for goats...he must be switching it up a little bit now because people are figuring it out. :ph34r:

      Football at The Dat next wrekend

      Has our stadium ever hosted a concert? That was a big promise made in the push to get it financed. Since then, streaming and other changes have forced musicians to go on tour all the time to make money. Here in St. Augustine, Florida, we had an amphitheater in a public park we were only using for a yearly state history play, and now The Amp is a major venue getting big-name acts all the time. DATCU would be a desirable concert venue.

      “academic mission of the school”. Lol You think NIL player$ care anything about academics?

      Lashlee isn’t going anywhere ever if SMU doesn’t want him to. SMU can spend with anyone. Only reason Dykes left was to coach in the P4. The ACC F’d up admitting SMU and it is hilarious that SMU is letting them keep their money but is taking their trophy. I can’t stand SMU, but I am impressed with how they have expertly maneuvered this situation. The current era of college athletics with unlimited NIL is perfect for SMU. Better make hay while the sun is shining because once there are caps on spending, the Ponies will be sent back to the barn.

      And the biggest key is administrative support, which UNT clearly lacks. Our Board of Trustees has aligned the university to pursue athletics to support the academic mission of the school and we're all pulling the same direction.

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      basically heading into December, I think this is a pretty good way to look at the league, KenPom through 12/1 games in (): Tier 1 - Memphis (31) - I know everyone will be quick to point out their collapse last season...I suppose it could happen again, but this team looks built different. they'll head into December ranked while presumably no one else will even receive a vote. Tier 2 - UNT(66) ; Wichita State (88) - both schools have quality wins over Big 10, WCC, A-10 and MVC schools...nothing really to blink at too much in their losses. Tier 3A - Rice (164) ; East Carolina (123) - call this the over-achieving tier. Rice has a good win now over ASU...hung tough with Florida State. ECU has yet to play an actual road game and their loss looks pretty mid, but 7-1 is 7-1 so far. Tier 3B - FAU (105) ; UAB (137) - call this the under-achieving tier. FAU look like Memphis last season...a solid collection of talent that isn't playing as a team...case in point, they went 52-26 to lose by 2 to FGCU. I don't know what to make of UAB. still, despite early struggles, both these will be tough Ws Tier 4 - Temple (114) ; South Florida (138) - both just look solid if unremarkable. both have some testers in December and it'd be a big benefit to the conference if they can pick up some good wins. Tier 5 - Tulane (226) ; Charlotte (204) ; Tulsa (215) ; UTSA (263) - there's very little to like here. nothing approaching a quality win and each with some pretty bad loses. I almost just made a separate tier for UTSA, but I'll be kind for now since the resumes here all look so similar. UTSA goes to Cali to play St. Mary's Tuesday and then to Fayetteville for ranked Arkansas on Saturday (who made their schedule?)...so once they get drubbed by 30 in each, maybe they'll earn their own tier
