ESPN FPI Updated After Week 1

[AustinFromUNT]

After week 1 the ESPN FPI has been updated and here is what it looks like now:

UNT at SMU: SMU favored 74.9-25.1

UNT at Iowa: Iowa favored 89.6-10.4

UNT vs UAB: UNT favored 77.6-22.4

UNT at USM: USM favored 59.9-40.1

UNT vs UTSA: UNT favored 62.5-37.5

UNT at FAU: UNT favored 51.0-49.0

UNT vs ODU: UNT favored 64.9-35.1

UNT at LA Tech: LA Tech favored: 63.9-36.1

UNT vs UTEP: UNT favored 81.4-18.6

 UNT vs Army: Army favored: 74.1-25.9

UNT at Rice: UNT favored 69.2-30.8

So that means if we win the games we're favored in that would put us at 7-5 on the season.

Add in an SMU upset and we're 8-4 on the season!

don't count a loss to Army just yet either......

No way Army should be favored like that against us on our home turf given the two games last year. We're winning that game.

Just let it be, and when we win... It could be the talk of biggest FPI upset of the week

Wasn't Army favored by roughly 90-10 last year when we beat them?

No idea, but the game we played @ Army... wasn't like UNT dominated them, army was just that careless/sloppy... Just like we did a on 4-5 plays in the HoD bowl, the INT from morris to Rico, the TT holding pent. that lead to the Tyler Wilson Reserve throw INT to just name a few.. Play a clean game because the Army guys aren't going to make stupid mistakes!

I have no idea what this means......

This is off topic, and sorry Austin for that but I just noticed in the link posted by @dmaxel that the attendance for Army that week was 31k+.... I know they require Cadets to come to the game, just like A&M and with that being said, here is my question...

Does UNT have any organizations that they could "require" them to go similar to Army/AM that could help increase the attendance?

Well, at the very least, it appears we are closing the gap.

Good eye. I don't remember the stadium looking full enough on TV to actually have 31k+ sitting in the stands, especially with the rain, but maybe it was deceiving.

My best idea would be Greek life... and that's only on a per-chapter basis. Nothing the university can do from their end.
