  1. Commissioners from five conferences will be part of a news conference in the Bahamas on Oct. 14 announcing "an exciting announcement about postseason college football," according to Lea Miller of Complete Sports Management. Mountain West commissioner Craig Thompson confirmed the announcement is for a six-year bowl-game agreement with the Mountain West as a backup player, participating "maybe once in six years." Conference USA and the MAC are believed to be spearheading the game and will be primary participants. Thompson, MAC commissioner Jon Steinbrecher, C-USA commissioner Britton Banowsky, Sun Belt commissioner Karl Benson and American Athletic Conference senior associate commissioner Nick Carparelli will attend the press conference at the 15,000-seat Thomas Robinson Stadium in Nassau. The Bahamas announcement could spark a bowl rotation among the five conferences across several sites. These conferences are starting their own bowls to avoid the clumsy at-large selection process if so-called power conferences can't fill all their spots. Two sources involved in the process have said the Bahamas is probably the only feasible working overseas bowl concept because of its proximity (a half-hour flight from Miami, basically). http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/writer/jeremy-fowler/24001062/five-conferences-involved-in-bahamas-bowl
  2. North Texas (2-2/0-0 CUSA) at Tulane (3-2/1-0), 2:30 p.m. Saturday, FCS > Why my confidence is low: The Mean Green turned some heads by giving Georgia a scare between the hedges, but while that effort was nice, these are the games that matter. Making the jump from the Sun Belt to CUSA, this is the kind of game that could give UNT a lot of confidence. Beat an improving Tulane team on the road, and UNT would leave New Orleans believing it can compete in its new league. Lose to the program that's finished in last place in its division the past four seasons, and UNT will be left wondering what it must do to get better. Because this is a senior-laden team that has the pieces in place to make a bowl run. To get the win, however, it's due time the UNT running game show up. UNT topped the 2,000-yard mark as a team last year, but after four games, the Mean Green is on a pace to only produce 75 percent of that. Tulane has been vulnerable against the run. Before it gave up just 26 yards to a Louisiana-Monroe team that's among the worst rushing teams in the nation, Tulane was allowing more than 150 yards per game on the ground. UNT must make this the week the running game is restored. If that happens, the Mean Green should get halfway to blow eligibility with more than half the season to go. > Key stat: 4, the number of sacks allowed by the UNT offensive line, good for a top 20 national ranking. The sturdy line is a big reason why senior QB Derek Thompson is on pace to throw for 500 more yards, 4 more TDs and 5 fewer INTs this season compared to 2012. > The mob says: North Texas by 2.5 > So says I: North Texas 30, Tulane 28 http://www.texasfootball.com/college-news/view/180561
  3. Montana's inconsistencies are likely going to come back to haunt Tulane more often than not. If he can't straighten things out, even a big game from Darkwa won't be enough to overcome a pass-heavy team like North Texas that has proven it can hang with some tough competition.

  5. Outside of this little world as many folks disagree with you as might agree with you so don't set yourself up as an all knowing authority. Continue with your what ever it is.
  6. "MTSU is widely considered to be a better team than UNT" is not a comment about UNT ? Then pray tell what is it ?
