I also think that ECU were due a win. They've had some close losses. That said, i watched the USM Navy game and USM looked good. It will be hard

They get on a plane for a long flight back to Florida. They rest and recover on Sunday. Practice Monday and Tuesday and then Wednesday is another travel day. So they had 2 days of practice sandwiched with plane filghts, after losing their "Super Bowl". I do not blame them for not being sharp.
agreed. but, I think they still could have won if they either started Bortles? (backup qb), or inserted him much earlier. I think, the orlando sentinel reported that O'Leary suggested that.
AD or coach wasn't paying attention when they scheduled the games or tv times, I guess.

I do believe you meant UAB.

UCF could still make it to the conference championship, probably with Bortles leading the way instead of Godfrey.
Can wait for the game tomorrow, great chance for the Mustangs to make a statement. Time to crash another homecoming!

Going from two one-win seasons to three bowl games in a row, don't care where we go. If JJ can swing Hawaii, so be it, will be the last time we play a bowl there for a long time with a move to the BE. Liberty Bowl takes #1 in CUSA, so that is where we should want to be, chance to make a statement against the SEC.
But still great to go from complete failure to making waves and expecting to be in a bowl so quickly.

we still have to win one more to be bowl eligible.

So if we take the average projections vs the average actual performances of our team. Our D holds teams to 4 less than CFN predicts and our O scores .5 more than CFN predicts, so we win by half a point.

ruh roh.
Aside from CFN predicting that we beat TTU in 2007, I'd say they are pretty close with their projections.
