AAC has one more bowl slot to fill. And to whoever said there was no way UCF would lose (and that somehow if they did they'd still be ranked higher than Louisville?!)...guess we'll see how this ends...

Isn't that irrelevant? UCF has the tiebreaker over Louisville. Even if UCF loses they still win the AAC and get the last auto bid.

Yeah, they would, but it was when it looked like NIU would still get a bid if ranked higher than them and somebody said there was no way they could be ranked lower than a team that they beat. UCF is in for sure and NIU is out for sure, so aside from the miniscule chance that 7 teams ranked above Fresno drop when they (presumably) beat USU, it won't matter. It's just good for everyone to know that beating a team doesn't guarantee you'll be ranked higher than them. If that was the case, if SMU wins today they'd be above UCF.

They must all be in suites. But let's not kid ourselves... In this weather we'd have the same issue if only because the roads being the way they are, would make it tough to get to. Edited by filmerj

I think they were referring to the possibility of SMU going to HoD, not what happens to UCF. Edited by UNT 90 Grad

UCF just made a dirty hit on the SMU QB. Looks like a concussion. UCF wasn't even supposed to be bowl eligible because they got caught cheating. Hopefully the kid is ok.

I don't think SMU has "THAT" kind of pull especially since it appears to me that there are few (if any) apparent SMU'ers on the HOD Bowl's Board of Directors.

North Texas has more star power this Fall, ie, a 1000 yard MG running back, nationally ranked return guy Brelan Chancellor, a ferocious, hard hitting Mean Green "D", etc, etc, etc and that (among other reasons) why I think the HOD Bowl people attended our last 3 home games (unless they suddenly over-night became Mean Green fans).

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      Some of you think these professional athletes have to go to classes?

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?
