Top contenders : UCF, cinci, SMU
Conference champ wildcards: ECU Tulane Tulsa UH (at this point)
Bad but still have a pulse: Memphis, Navy
Absolutely terrible : Temple USF


Don't think I would say that Cinci is having a down year.

Cincinnati prevailed but watching that game I have to wonder how well we will handle Tulsa's 270 lb running back. That guy is a beast!

Maybe I did not see it right, but it seemed very clear that Houston had 3 player way offside when they recovered the onside kick. It was on the side the kick went to and among that group was the one that recovered it. If anyone sees a replay please post what you see. It was not close, clearly offside.

I thought at least one (nearest the sideline) was about 2 yards offsides. I wanted both teams to lose so I guess it doesn’t really matter to me.

Memphis team snatched that defeat from the jaws of victory. I think that one is harder to take than our getting blown out in Orlando

No question for Memphis. They also get killed by the refs on the onside kick, and their last touchdown.
Replay of that is on ESPN. Their receiver is blocking the defender into the end zone, while the other receiver cuts outside underneath that. They were at the 2 yard line, the receiver caught the ball at the goal line so the pass was not close to being behind the line of scrimmage. Crazy play - we used to run that type of play and probably need to start running it again.

Early in broadcast of TCU vs Kansas game they showed a graphic that Sonny Dykes is the 1st coach to win his 1st 4 games at TCU since someone in early 1900s I never heard of. Sonny knows how to schedule the early season although I'm sure that schedule had been in place before he signed on. Will be interesting to see if TCU can play through October and November once the conference schedule gets underway, something Sonny could never accomplish at SMU. Of course, Bobby Collins was the last coach at SMU who had teams that could win in November
