Yeah, CUSA looks better on paper because they have so many 8+win teams (of course, mainly because they do not play the type of OOC schedules the SBC does).

I think Howard would retire if Kyle Israel was his QB!

The SunBelt has already passed CUSA, but the country doesn't know it.

CUSA is stinking up the bowl season again.

Does it bother any of you that the TV networks show the bowl rankings by conference and don't even include the SunBelt in the list? Heck, the 'Belt would be tied with CUSA so far, and with only one bowl.

This is another example of our conference's inability to be taken seriously. New leadership! Now!

Yeah, I saw thought. But they calculate based on percentage of bowls one, so they would be forced to put the SBC at #1 with 100%… Hah! That is why we are excluded…

I'm not so sure. We play very well against teams with a weak defense and a passing offense.

I don't know if we would have the time to pass against that rush. And on the defensive side, I think we would get lit up against that run. We did pretty awful against the run when we lost to whatever UL team and ASU.

We have our vices and we have our virtues. I think we could do descent against texas since they are a pass happy offense with a weak defense. that where we thrive.

It's a pretty boring game to watch, lots of defense with bad QBs.

I had to work so I missed it. With a score like 3-10, I'm glad I did.

Check out this Orlando Sentinel article:

Excerpt:

"That was a good college football game," UCF Coach George O'Leary actually said after his team dropped Saturday's 10-3 Liberty Bowl snooze-a-palooza to Mississippi State. Yes, Coach, it was a good football game – for 1937. But in 2007, this will go down as one of the most awful bowl games of the season."

oooft!

I watched the game and he had to be one of the worst QBs I have ever seen. The worst play was he threw behind a TE that was only ten yards away from him. He had a perfect pocket with no pressure and he could not get it to him. He was not much better against Texas. He was 9/26 with one TD and a pick returned for a TD. He got most of his 9 completions and TD when Texas was playing prevent defense at the game's end

Either is smoking something or he was watching a rerun of the NO Bowl while his team, especially his QB, were out there stinking up the place.  That was one of the most pathetic games I have watched all year.  UCF is not a good team which forces the conclusion that CUSA is not a good conference, I think FAU could step in that conference next year and win definitely win the title.

Bill Curry as a national radio analyst on the game after Missisippi State converted the first third down conversion of the game after the two teams were a combined 0 for 16 on third down.

"Shouldn't they stop the clock and award someone a game ball"?

must agree with everyone's posts above…

UCF is a one demensional team, that exceeds against teams who have poor run defense…

If we would have played them, we should have won the game simply due to the fact that they have no passing attack…we could focus on the run (see USF) and shut them down…
