Figure if he was redoing it now, WKU-FIU would be significantly lower, UAB maybe a little lower.

106 is pretty low....As bad as our secondary was last night I am still fairly certain Central Arkansas could beat the bottom 30 FBS teams easily also.....

Figure if he was redoing it now, WKU-FIU would be significantly lower, UAB maybe a little lower.

And Minnesota who he ranks way up there almost lost to an FCS team. Should the Big 10 panic and talk about how crappy the league is and lower the rankings?

We have several more games before we get a good feel about how the season will play out. And even then nothing is final till the last game is played.

I would not be so bold as to characterize the quality of the conference based on these first four games, but I will say, we certainly are off to a most inauspicious start.

Of course, even if they started 4-2, it isn't saying all that much. Please do come back after the Marshall game. I'll def take them at home.

LOL. Another C-USA fan showing their anti-AAC bias. You can say Cincinnati is overrated, you can say they aren't a top 25 team -- hell, you could call them a borderline top 50 team and I would respect your opinion. But to say Cincinnati, whose only 2 losses last year were both on the road with one in OT against a good Temple team and the other against a top 10 UCF team (still at full strength with Milton) and returns most of their key players isn't even one of the top 57 teams in the country is ludicrous. You are either too salty and biased to give an informed opinion, or just completely uninformed.

I will be back after the Marshall game, and if Cincinnati starts 1-5, I will eat my underwear on video and post it on this page. See you soon.

Not Top 25

So, a gentle reminder. Here’s how Uncle Matt ranked us in the preseason:

Quote:70. Southern Miss
75. North Texas
81. Marshall
85. Florida Atlantic
88. FIU
92. Louisiana Tech
95. UAB
99. Middle Tennessee
106. Western Kentucky
109. Old Dominion
118. Charlotte
122. UTSA
125. Rice
130. UTEP

Honestly, he wasn’t *That* far off the mark.

We certainly haven't done anything to prove otherwise.

Well, Troy is #60, so there's that.
