    LA Tech could easily end up on a 5-game winning steak, followed by a 5-game losing streak immediately afterward. (Maybe not, with UTEP in the middle. But they play us tough in El Paso.) I sure hope that doesn't happen.

    Seems like mainly a function of UNT getting a big win and USM losing to one of the top teams. I don't think much has changed. As we saw in our tale of two halves, we could win out...or we could finish with 6 wins.

    I think broadly this is the point in the season where the computers have a better sense of true team value. The predicted schedule is now much closer to what most of us suspected all along, so I think in that sense you're spot on: not much has changed.

    I don't know about 6 wins.

    I've kind of thought all along that the bad teams are most likely going to be pretty bad - with always the chance that either one will surprise in a good way and go from bad to not-that-bad or we screw around a lose a game we should have won. And of course both of those are still on the table (and as myopic as we tend to be with our own teams, both are pretty common scenarios in college football). But Rice, UTEP, UMass, and UTSA are all pretty bad. Rice maybe the best of the bunch (or best chance at an upset at some point this season, given what they've shown against Baylor and Army - I think that whole Stanford Jr. thing they're shooting for can really limit possessions and keep some games close). But these are games that we'll be favored in and should be favored in.

    It's the decent teams that were always going to go either way (with always the chance that a team we thought would be decent ends up bad or very good). I'd have had FIU in the decent-to-good pile coming into the season, but right now I'd say they've looked pretty bad (which worked out great for us).

    I think UAB is in a similar boat to us in that it's going to be pretty hard to tell how good they are or aren't until they've played some of the better conference teams (UNT, USM, and hopefully us). Now that we've cleared FIU, they're the next team on our schedule I'm just not really sure about. They ought to have taken a pretty big step back losing what they did. But they're well coached and could be better than expected.

    UNT and USM are the teams to beat in the West (still). And we (still) are capable of winning one or both of those games. Those games are going to help establish our ceiling I think (hopefully we win both and the ceiling remains a mystery).

    Marshall's a tough cross-divisional draw, but winning the FIU game reduces the risk somewhat there. I think they're clearly the front-runner in the conference and to win CUSA we're probably going to have to beat them (maybe twice).

    We moved the ball between the 20’s on Texas all night. I think we had the ball past their 30 like 5 times with zero points. It shouldn’t be outside the realm of possibility that with a 5th year QB and a 7th year coach that we could be competitive with them. You know, like the last two times we’ve been to Baton Rouge.

    Wait...we were 99th, then beat a now 0-5 Rice and moved up to 95th? See!? even the computers recognize Rice as the best 0-5 team in the nation!

    95th? Wow! with a great coach and a rock star 5th-year senior QB...say no more!

    We are moving up and will continue IMHO. I hope we do finishing 12-2 with a great Bowl win against a P5.

    No real surprises. We are favored by less than home advantage but this is one of the more favorable lines I've seen for the Rivalry in Dixie.

    I'm getting more worried about UAB, the line continues to fall.
