So much of that is about the schedule. We have played the easier teams early and the tougher teams late. This year's schedule is especially tough having to play 3 tough road games and getting one of the better teams in the AAC (UCF) at home late

Wow, CP,,,what about teams we play, always the best in NOV? Has nothing to do with schedule…all about depth, prep, and………………coaching.

Valid points, G ... but nothing to do with schedule? So beating Houston, Memphis, UCF and Cincinnati should be there same as Abilene Christian, UNT, etc.?

The point is Sonny's winning record is pumped up with weak teams and teams with losing records, and then when the games really count when the schedule jacks up, he just can't coach the team up to win those real games. Also Sonny is 1-3 in Bowl games as a record.

Beating those teams that are moving onto P5 pastures SHOULD be our expectation. I believe that's where we want to be and to win our conference championship.

Clearly what we had hoped for but reality is another story all together. Still hope we can at least beat UCF next week in front of about 15,000

They are struggling against Tulane and are down 10-7 in 3rd quarter...in Orlando so I would not bet on that prediction. They are not what they have been in recent years and that is a game we should have a very good chance of winning
