It will come down to Tulsa at home

I think we win two of the next three. No less than that. Not scared of Southern Miss, though we had better be prepared. Not scared of Rice either, even though they're playing well right now. Mildly worried about UCF, but we can absolutely beat them.

But, yes, Tulsa ought to be very interesting.

We haven't lost to Rice since June Jones' first game as coach. USM is a home game and they are in a freefall funk - and hopefully our guys will remember Tulane this year, and last year's debacle at USM.

UCF will be a tough road game, but I really think our defense will perform better against their offense, than their defense against ours. We beat UCF by 21 points last year in Dallas. Has either team's personnel changed that dramatically for better or worse? UCF gave up 361 yards to Memphis, our only common opponent to date.

Tulsa must get past both Houston, as well as UCF, before coming to Ford for the final game.

Barring any more major injuries, I think this team sweeps these last 4 games. The defense has been very good all year, even better when the offense can sustain drives and put up points, keeping them off the field.

It appears the offense is starting to click. Hopefully this continues against a little better competition this Saturday. Nothing is ever certain, Tulsa struggled against Rice, Marshall & UAB, and it took OT for UCF to beat USM in Orlando. I like our chances the rest of the way.

Let's leave this conference as champions!

Indeed- and play in the Liberty bowl as CUSA conf. champs.
