Great question! It was indeed, but not the worst depending on how you look at it. I like to think of it as "good-will." WKU stored up a lot of karma (that they are using up quickly), so they are...

The coaches fired in 2018 had the following wins above average during their tenures. I'm not sure what everyone else has, except for Holtz. That'd take a long time to calculate.
Texas Tech...
We began the year at #42 and a predicted 10-2 record.
We end the year at #49 and a 8-5 record.
We had the #10 worst upset of Skip's career at Tech, 20-21 vs USM (the 4th straight loss). We were...
Some teams aren't ok with failure. A difficult concept for Tech fans to grasp.
I'll wait until the bowl opponent is announced before making a prediction and final season closing thoughts.
This year (so far) we were 3 wins below "average." That is, we had three more losses...
Skip's all time Top 10 upsets are as follows:
9/12/2013
Tulane (LA)
+873

It takes a while for success or failure to register. Think of this more as a long-term view. It wasn't long ago that UNT was bad and WKU was good.
Still "on track" for 9-3.

Marshall is 53 with a Elo of 1094. One of these days I'll make a post and get everything right the first time.

We gained +21 points on Saturday, leaving us at #42.
North Texas is up 12 spots to #94 after whipping SMU.
Because it should say 2017.
Though if anyone could find a way to lose to a team that doesn't exist...
Navy was actually, at the time, only one rank up from us (-27 point difference). We were also much better than Illinois at the time, with a +613 point difference.
