Historically, I have not followed the conference closely but was wondering what kind of rankings the top teams in the league have ever gotten? Hasn't there been a few 9 and 10-win teams in the past few seasons?Posted On: Oct 31st 2017, 11:13 AM #372537
When Doc Holliday had Rakim Cato as his QB they nearly went undefeated. They were ranked 24 when they lost in a shoot out vs WKU. Their lone loss of the season

Yep. I think I remember WKU and La Tech both being ranked at different points as well.Island_Owl88 said

Its our turn.
Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.

Given that track record for the conference and the fact that FAU has 3 losses, cracking the top-25 seems like a tall order for a CUSA team.

Considering they are doing FCS programs now in the telecast believe we should have our shot!Posted On: Oct 31st 2017, 12:18 PM #372544
I sent an e-mail to Mark Packer who has a syndicated show on SiriusXM trying to plant a seed to have him talk about it. I also posted to the College Gameday Facebook page, but they review all posts first. Neither will pay attention unless both teams win their next two games, but I will resend/repost each week if it keeps happening.

Holy crap, I can't believe that we have an actual thread about HOSTING the CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP.
Like, take a step back and think about that people. We used to have threads about whether or not we will be in bowl contention.
Enjoy this guys.Posted On: Oct 30th 2017, 3:56 PM #372509
We went to losing in the 4Q to actually owning the 4Q & dominate for 3Qs and not worry about the 4Q.

New Orleans
New Mexico
Boca
St. Pete
Bahamas
Heart of Dallas
And a secondary if SEC or ACC can't fill the Independence.
All except for Dallas and Independence are before Christmas and pretty early in the bowl schedule. Not sure how the teams are picked for which bowl. All are at least somewhat decent destinations (New Orleans and Bahamas better than Albuquerque or Dallas in latter December).
And FWIW the only one against a P5 team is Heart of Dallas (Big 12) unless the Independence needs a team.

New Orleans
New Mexico
Boca
St. Pete
Bahamas
Heart of Dallas

I’m rooting for New Orleans Bowl.
But I would really like us matched to face USF.
