No, if we tie, they have head to head.

If it's a three way tie with them and Rice, they will win by having a better a win against the east (ECU will finish higher than MTSU).

We need them to lose again.

Is our Tulsa game time still TBD? That start time could be important, since I'd love to have us as the only team knowing what we're playing for that weekend. Rice vs.Tulane starts at 2:00, and I hope our Tulsa game starts afterwards.

I've said this before, but that Tulane game haunts me. If we had taken care of business like we should have, then we'd be 7-2 and 5-0 in conference. Even if we lost one of the final 3 games we would win the west and if we won out the conference championship game would be at apogee. F'ing Tulane!

ECU is not exactly stomping one win FIU. 21-13 ECU in 3rd quarter. A win or even a close lost by FIU could move ECU down in the ratings, that could come into play if they win the East when it comes to home team in the conference championship game.

Yeah, I'd love for us to host that game. I'm guessing tiebreakers are similar to division champion tiebreakers?

Nice to be scoreboard watching. I'm not worried about Tulane.

Did we just become bowl eligible for the first time in a decade or did we just win defeat the 49ers in the Super Bowl.

If the team takes any opponent lightly, they will lose.

We aren't out athlete-ing people, we are out working them. Continue to do that and we will be fine.

Sour grapes now bro -- look we should be VERY happy that FAU balled up and won this game. My nitemare would be Tulane being undefeated in C-USA as they head to the AAC... now THAT would suck dbs!! Tulane has been using smoke and mirrors all season!! I would put money that Rice will beat Tulane and I think that means we get in. Not sure about the tiebreakers etc.. but I would much rather see Rice get the top spot than Tulane!!

CUSA site says BCS ranking is CG tie breaker. Not 100% sure what is divisional tie breaker, but this PDF is on the CUSA media site:

That's for a two team tie. If those rules are actually in effect, it would be the second group of rules and particularly #6 that does us in if UNT, Rice, and Tulane are tied.

Can't be a three way tie now, Rice and Tulane play.

IF WE WIN OUT:

And Rice wins out, we tie them and win head to head.

And Tulane wins out, we tie them and they beat us head to head.

No matter what, we need Tulane to lose again.

They have:

@UTSA (25% chance of losing)

UTEP (10%)

@Rice (60%)

Most likely, we need to win out, and we need Rice to beat Tulane.

First things first, bury the Miners.

      Prediction vs Army

      Army will have over 500 yards of offense by the end of the third quarter. After watching us against any team with a pulse on offense this year, it's probably not going to be a fun game for the home team.

      Brief History of the Mean Green

      And, while Joe Greene played at North Texas in the late 60s, the nickname “Mean Green” is actually in reference to the stingy defensive line (?) of that era.

      Evansville (11/5/24)

      entirely based on previous season stat lines and presumed fit, I mentally have Massie starting at the 4...he seems to bring a little bit more offensive game than Newell, and while he gives up some inches he did average more boards and he's pretty range-y and like Walker, averaged over a steal/game last season. plus assuming Vice and Smith aren't contributors this season, Newell and Lorient off the bench can give enough height to sort of combo man the 4/5 spot...neither is really a 5, but together you can get a rotation with Sissoko

      Memphis's Tyreek Smith Hits Portal Hours Before Opener

      I'd take him from a talent standpoint in a heart beat. He's from Baton Rouge but attended Trinity Christian Academy (Cedar Hill) where he lead them to their private school's state championship. I really wanted him at UNT but he signed with Texas A&M. We are starting to bring in a number of 1 year players as well, so why not. Great rebounder and shot blocker at 6-9. Don't really think there would be mutual interest though.
