Big point wins against UTSA and Tulsa....and maybe. But loosing to Ohio and Tulane hurt us in the rankings. If we were 9-1 right now, I think we would be ranked right now.

But regardless of what should have been, we are in a HAPPY PLACE right now.

So now you want to get picky over where the votes come from? Unbelievable.

I don't think he cares where they come from, just doesn't think they'll come from another conference. Most would probably use their 1 point to help their own conference but maybe one of our OOC opponents might use it to boost their SOS standings, who knows...

No shot at top 25 unless NT wins out including the bowl game

Off the subject a little, but looking at the Massey ratings (not the composite) and NT went down 3 spots after beating UTEP and ECU went up 7 places after beating Tulsa. So in this one poll, NT lost 10 sports to ECU after being real close last week.

It appears that if NT wins the East, the only way to get the championship game in Denton is for ECU to lose which could happen. They still have to play their big rival Marshall, and a bad North Carolina team on the road.

I actually think they play NC State.

Is the question can NT get votes or get ranked??Yes, NT can get a couple of votes without question. Winning the CuSa title game will get a couple of votes, IMO.

Now getting ranked will require winning the bowl game as well.

10-3 will get votes. 11-3 will get a top 25 finish.

Sadly, I think 9-3 doesn't get anything. 10-3 will get a vote or 2. 11-3 will get several votes. I think the only way we can crack the top 25 would be a Liberty Bowl (SEC opponent) or HoD Bowl (Big10 opponent) win by a huge margin, and I'm just not sold on our offense putting up those kinds of numbers against a bowl-caliber SEC or Big10 team.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      MWC is a push in overall terms from before the raid to after. Still a solid G6 but lower than the AAC in my mind. PACx has survived, which is all one can really expect for a conference that got shattered in the realignment. But the 2 legacy P4 schools cannot elevate that new version higher than the G6 bunch. Both of the conferences will get low-to-mid TV coverage, and fill the late schedule spots. For the AAC, I'm happy with Army over SMU. I wish we could have pulled Air Force, but so be it. I do expect the PACx to make another run at Memphis, that should be interesting. Fun fact: I've been tracking the realignment via a spreadsheet. As of the NIU change, 46 teams have changed conferences since OUT announced their move to the SEC.

      Transfer Portal Hits pre First Responder Bowl

      Because Morris & Cobbs believed they didn't need to. I think McGill, Harris, & Evans are returning, but who knows if Harris or Evans will even be healthy? We added Becks from MOSt, and Hawkins from HS in OK, but who knows what they bring? I don't know that McGill is a starting caliber RB in the AAC. If you think Porter should have been scholarship'd, you're second-guessing Pat. I doubt anyone around here really wants to second-guess Pat's judgement of talent. OR (and this is doubtful), Pat pushed to have Porter 'shiped, but Morris said "no". If that's the case, and Porter goes on to ball-out at UTEP while we struggle in the run game, it's another log on a growing fire under Morris' seat.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      The PAC stands a real chance of becoming the 'Big East of the West', but I think they'll still be fighting to get into the CFP each year with the rest of the G5. MWC obviously is a huge downgrade since they're the conference that got raided. The best thing they have going for them is stability. Outside of AFA and, to a lesser degree, NIU and UNLV, no one has any interest in those schools. AAC did well with the Army pickup. What happens in the next few years under the new commissioner will be important. As a conference, we've scheduled ourselves into a one bid joke like Sun Belt or CUSA. They've gotta figure out some strategy there. For football, it's hard to say we're better or worse off than last year. SMU going to the CFP was a fluke compared with the past 30 years, but I imagine they'll be a stronger program in general than they were in the AAC due to the amount of money and attention the ACC brings. At least while it lasts...

      Mean Green Travel to Tulane for Midweek Matchup

      I started to do "official" game threads almost 20 years ago for the men's games to try and create some order, but I don't mind when others do.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      In terms of the Pac12/MWC tweet above and what they both started with (not the legacy Pac, the WSU and OSU Pac), the Pac12 came out way ahead of the MWC. They need 1 more right? Where do they get it or do they try to add more than one. In terms of the AAC, SMU out and Army In. Love having another service academy as a conference mate and it was probably the best move the conference could make...national recognition and following. The whole Army/Navy game piece is kind of a monkey wrench. Overall, with SMU's performance and getting into the CFP this year makes the loss of SMU a bit more that the addition of Army (at least this year). Let's see how the next couple years pan out.
