Picking NT to finish fourth next year.

4. North Texas

2010 CFN Final Ranking: 99

2010 Record: 3-9

2010 CFN Preseason Rank: 102

CFN 2010 Preseason Prediction: 3-9

2009 Final Ranking: 110

2008 Final Ranking: 116

UNT might have the best coach in the league in former Iowa State head man Dan McCarney, and there's a chance for a night-and-day improvement if everyone can stay healthy. The Mean Green lost 12 starters to injuries in 2010, and seven of them come back to an already veteran squad. America, get ready to know the name Lance Dunbar; he could lead the nation in rushing with McCarney sure to feed him the ball.

Picking NT to finish fourth next year.

Here's the link for the entire SBC:

"North Texas showed a whole bunch of spunk over the last month of the season, even if there were only two wins in the final five games. Lance Dunbar proved against Kansas State that he’s among the best players in America averaging 12.3 yards per carry and dominating throughout, and while the offense struggled in the second half, the team was right there until the end despite holding on to the ball for just 23:41. Riley Dodge continued his miraculous comeback, and while he only threw for 123 yards, he completed 8-of-12 passes before getting banged up. The defense might have been awful, but Craig Robertson made 16 tackles."

If he does it again this year...is there anyway that he doesn't get picked up and go Pro?

He is already projected to go in the first five rounds of the draft. The only way he doesn't get drafted is if he gets injured. I think he will have a great year and be a 2nd round draft pick!

If Middle Tenn hold grounds against Minn at the beginning of the season then I might give credit to this pre season ranking. I am not sure why they have Ark St with a better winning percentage than other teams based on the their schedule, but I don't get paid to guess.

      McNeese State (11/18/24)

      @Censored by Laurie is correct. McNeese St is 0-2 in D1 games this year but those are a 7 point loss to South Dakota State and an 8 point loss to Alabama. They finished 56th in NET last year so if they run their conference again, this will likely end up a Quad 1 win. They just need to finish top 75 with it being a road game. Exciting times.

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      Meanwhile we finished higher than Minnesota in NET last year. Actually they haven't finished higher than us since 2020. Was this post on Twitter?

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      Mike Mitchell Jr. was out. He's a starter and Minnesota could've really used his shooting. Not as familiar with the other players but they're reserves. This game was a big data point for the Massie over Newell position!

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      Awesome win! The only bad part was the commentary from the TV announcers. They confused Newell and Lorient for an extended period of time, stated that Atin Wright originally played at Washington State, and clearly barely knew anything about our program. The play by play announcer gave major 'and boom goes the dynamite' vibes. Some thoughts on the game: - The defense was stellar as we've all come to expect. Delo and Massie were great playing multiple matchups. - Minnesota came out and blitzed our PnRs. We really struggled with the pressure. Eventually we started slipping screens and setting brush screens to counteract it. - Trey Edmonds in the second half forced us to play big. He has a grown man body. Hodge settled on a Lorient/Sissoko combination to match Garcia/Edmonds. - An extended run with a Floyd/Walker/Massie/Lorient/Sissoko lineup including to close the game aside from situational subs. Before the season I would've been shocked that this lineup would close a win on the road against a Big Ten school because of the offense. The spacing was predictably an adventure. Massie wasn't efficient but he kind of made the lineup 'work'. He shows handling, passing, and court awareness in the half court. Feels like he could turn into a secondary ball handler in lineups. - Atin Wright had a meh game by his standards, but still really excited about him this season. He's a bit of a showman and I love it. After getting fouled in transition, he slapped the ball away from the defender and stared at him. On Lorient's massive jam at the end of the game, you can see him standing over Edmonds (who was on the ground). GMG
