UNT has only one win over a ranked team in program history, and that came all the way back in 1974, when the Mean Green beat No. 20 San Diego State.

I hate seeing this quoted over and over again. It probably wouldn't be if we could EVER schedule #20 again,...or #21...#22...#23...#24...or ..#25 instead of #1 thru #9,...often times it being #1 thru #5.

This game was scheduled when? 2010? That year, the Bulldogs were 6-7 with a loss to UCF: 6-10, in the Liberty bowl.

It's not that we're scheduling really good teams, it's that we're scheduling teams and miraculously, they become top-10 teams when it's time for UNT to play them. Let's just hope (as it stands right now) that Tennessee and Iowa are not both top-10 teams in 2015, and that Texas doesn't rebound to end their season and finish strong (not looking good for them right now, but hey, it's UNT's luck). I don't think we'll need to worry about Indiana...

I would hardly call it miraculous that Georgia is a top 10 team. They get their pick of the litter in recruiting in the 4th best high school football state in the country. They should be a top 10, at least top 15, team every year, as well as Texas and USC.

As for Tennessee and Iowa, Iowa hasn't been very good lately despite having a good coach. This is partly because they are recruiting out of Iowa which is hardly a high school football hotbed (sorry mini Mac). I think we could beat Iowa in 2015 and Texas next year if they keep Mack Brown.

Tennessee on the other hand looks like they've finally found a capable coach. They're just looking for a capable qb of the future, but they currently have a top 5 recruiting class that has guys who will be pretty darn good by the time we play them.

On a side note, as a lifelong Tennessee fan I will be making my first trip to Rocky Top in 2015 wearing Green. Can't wait!
