A big part of me really wants to see North Texas play in the Cotton Bowl this season. First thing first, lets take care of Tulane.

I agree. I'd love to play in the Heart of Dallas bowl, but I bet we'd be their last choice due to the loss of travel-related revenue.

All of this is fun to imagine but as I look further at Mac's tenure, I am retracting statements made in other threads that any game past Tulane "will decide things." Because this team has only won 2 road games since 2011, until there is dramatic course correction here, I'll be worried about proclaiming supreme confidence of bowl eligibility.

I hope we do get into the Beef O' Brady Bowl. Having already played in the Salad Bowl (1948), we would only need a Potato Bowl to make a complete meal.

Dear God any bowl but Beef o' Brady. I can't take seeing their commercial again.

See ya at Beef's! Ugh

      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
