    Is LA Tech's Season Over.....or Is It Just Beginning?

    So, do you think LA Tech's season is over, or not? I think it depends on what happens today between UNT and UTSA.

    If UTSA beats UNT today, I figure Tech's season is likely over because the best the BullDawgs can finish is 3rd place in the West, behind UTSA for sure, and maybe UAB. As we know, in league play the Roadrunners will continue to hold the tiebreaker over Tech as a result of Tech's 27-26 give-a-way to UTSA in the 4th Qtr in San Antonio.

    However, a UTSA loss to UNT today would give UTSA 3 conference losses --putting them behind LA Tech in the conference standings-- and give the Dawgs something to still play for.

    This is where it gets a little weird.

    UAB (2-1 in CUSA) has only played 3 conference games this season, and they only have Rice left on their slate. I think all CUSA West teams will need to play at least 5 CUSA games (one less than the CUSA West average?) this season in order to even qualify for the West title chase. So, I'm not sure the Blazers can even qualify this season.

    And then there's this: IF UAB doesn't qualify for the West title race as a result of not playing at least 5 CUSA games, and UTSA loses to UNT today......doesn't that put LA Tech in sole possession of 1st place in the USA West? If so, wouldn't LA Tech be wise to cancel next week's rescheduled game @UNT, and start preparing to play Marshall in the CUSA championship game?


    UTSA 4-2 0.667 6-4 0.600
    UAB 2-1 0.667 4-3 0.571
    Louisiana Tech 3-2 0.600 4-3 0.571
    North Texas 2-2 0.500 3-3 0.500
    Rice 1-2 0.333 1-2 0.333
    Southern Miss 1-4 0.200 2-7 0.222
    UTEP 0-3 0.000 3-4 0.429

    On the one hand, it would be wise to have a sudden outbreak of false positives based on that outcome (UNT win, UAB disqualified). On the other hand, if it's wise strategically we will absolutely not do it.

    On the other other hand, we haven't seen the field for a month and are unlikely to play any more games this season. That's a recipe for disaster walking into a game at Marshall against a team much much much better than us.

    On the other hand.....I just realized that if UNT beats UTSA today, UNT will be tied with LA Tech with a 3-2 conference record. So, the two teams will have to play next week, unless they want to be Co-Champs of the West? Then, who plays in the CUSA title game?

    It's pretty simple. If UNT beats UTSA today, LA Tech and UNT will tee it up for the West title next week.

    I just saw that CUSA (CUAB) has changed the rules allowing UAB, at 3-1 to be declared west divisional champs. If they lose to Rice, then of course, that won't be the case.

    .....That info didn't come from the CUSA office, though did it? I never saw confirmation of that.

    An unnamed C-USA spokesperson said teams are eligible by playing no more than two games less than the average of the conference (didn't specify division). Once again the lack of transparency from the C-USA office on issues other conferences posted clear guidelines on two months ago is inexcusable.

    May not matter because the UTEP at Rice game already scheduled to be underway is being delayed for UTEP Wuhan virus testing. If this game gets cancelled, the West division average played and scheduled games drops below 6 (rounded down to 5). That would mean UAB would only need 4 games using the originally indicated rules.

    ETA--Today’s game between Rice and UTEP has been canceled due to positive tests and contact tracing within the UTEP program.

    UTSA 28 UNT 7 at the half. Runners should be west division champs.

    35-10 now. UTSA is playing the best and has the only chance of any West team to beat Marshall in Huntington.

    Makes Thursday's game in Denton basically meaningless.

    If C-USA gets only 4 bowl bids (very likely), it will probably come down to Tech or UAB for the 4th bid if UAB doesn't play in the conference championship game.

    McCormick is sincerely good! (I know...that's weak). On 20 carries has 213 yards so far today. He's a perfect example of "recruiting is not an exact science."

    And he's just sophomore, even getting this year of eligibility back. Might see that guy 3 more seasons.

    Only a sophomore too (as he still will be next year).

    42-10, turn out the lights.

    Skip blew it again this year. Every year he figures out how to lose games he should win. He had a 13-pt lead over UTSA going into the 4th Qtr.....and BLEW IT!

    It's the same ole story. Skip ain't interested in conference championships.

    Tech is officially available to play a bowl game in Frisco on the 19th before the last regular season and conference championship games are finished. Might be the only bowl shot Tech has.
