Check the date when I posted that... They are normally terrible-- this year they aren't. But how was I supposed to know that after they only played 1 game (against North Texas)?
FIU is supposed to be good, but against North Texas ANYONE can look good
So this thought crossed my mind It seems that more amd more superconferences are evolving, Texas and OU are tlaking about going to the PAC 12 Two more schools are going to the Big East
Well. should North Texas try to get into the WAC or Mountain West OR
Should they try to get a few schools to join the Sun Belt ?
Maybe Nichols State Mcneese, Texas State can move up and join.....
Maybe UT Arlington and Wichita State as well ?
OH WaIT those teams Dropped football YEARS Ago after having programs like North Texas'........
SO what is North Texas to do ? Drop down a division and probably never fill apology stadium, or jump up to Independent and run with the big boys for a while?
I think UNT needs to set higher standards for itself, but that is hard to do when you are running a program like a Kmart

They could probably compete in the WAC, but I think that conference is really on a downward spiral and joining it might not be a good move.
No doubt the WAC is going downward big time, still have a couple of teams who could be capable of good seasons if they click, Utah State, LA Tech, two big underachievers I believe, disappointing really. Idaho had of shot of being decent.
I agree, those teams have potential, but the conference has already lost [Boise St.] or is about to lose [Hawaii, Nevada, Fresno St.] their major players in football. I just don't think it bodes well for their future.
As far as the Bottom 10, he picks Ole Miss for the 5 spot, for losing to Vanderbilt. Not really sure about that, I know Vandy isn't great but they're both in the SEC.
North Texas Climbed to 6th ranking this week, and this Saturday at Apology Stadium in Denton will look to improve on a defense that is allowing 559 Yards Per Game when it goes against the Indiana Hosers who beat powerhouse South Carolina State last week.
I don't see this boding well for UNT because a few minutes of reviewing the tapes from last week's games will show Indiana where the weakness is on UNT Defense.
Granted Indiana is no Alabama as far as football, but North Texas is still learning a new scheme and the coach is still teaching the players the basics. AND REMEMBER The UNT Defensive Coordinator used to be the Defensive Coordinator for Western Kentucky, a team that ranked dead last in defense year in and year out under his guidance.
But for what they pay at North Texas, well, the old phrase goes "you get what you pay for"

I like Utah State, not sure why, but I do. I watched them several times last year, and in the season opener this year. Their offense looked good against Auburn, Nevada, and BYU, but defense was lacking. They could definately be on the rise if they make strides defensively and can finish out football games.
Indiana is terrible, but there is a big difference between the bottom of the Big Least and the bottom of the Sun Belt. My guess is they beat North Texas by double digits.
I stand corrected. Indiana is the worst team in football.
