Looks good to me.

UAB scored 48 in a blowout of Troy. I have no idea what Troy has this year, but it's still clear that the road game at UAB is going to be a challenge, especially if we can't do the whole forward pass thing.

FIU got beat at home by a FCS and only scored 13 points in the process. God they must be terrible.

UTEP, ODU, and UAB should be ranked behind us. Possibly FAU too, they may have lost their QB while getting throttled by an average Nebraska offense. 55-7.

I'm trying to find my post saying not to long ago that UAB was going to be something special( despite the record last year).

UTEP??? Lol. No.

I really do not think that rice or us deserve to be ranked that low right now.

We couldn't throw a pass on Saturday... and that's not an exaggeration.

The running backs looked fair, considering we couldn't throw. The defense looked good, considering our passing put them in several difficult situations. Special teams looked decent too.

But, the O starts with the QB. If none of them can throw, the offense goes nowhere. No offense = no wins. Until a QB steps up, I'd place us just ahead of FIU. This season is far from over, but right now, I'm very kind of nervous about the SMU game.

Update: After watching some of the SMU@Baylor game, they have issues too.

Yep. But their QB play looks miles ahead of what we saw Saturday.
