These are the combined records of conference opponents only.  So, for example, our record doesn’t count Cal, FIU, etc.  I’m doing this on my phone and I just randomly looked at each team, so sorry they aren’t in any type of order.  Also, not going to guarantee 100% accuracy as this was done pretty quickly without any double checking.  It’s pretty close though. This is only through the games that have been played so far. 


UNT 39-20

Tulane: 23-37

SMU: 18-44

Memphis: 27-32

UTSA: 19-41

Navy: 25-35

Temple: 30-29

UAB: 37-23

FAU: 23-37

Tulsa: 31-29

Rice: 34-26

Charlotte: 29-30

USF: 26-34

ECU: 35-25

What’s the point?  None really.  Just thought I’d be interesting to see.

Scheduling gods certainly were not kind to us this year.  Sometimes, however, you need to step up and beat a team you weren't supposed to or at least beat a team with a winning record.  The inability to do that has been a theme around here for too long.

It isn't surprising though - since teams like UNT spot all of their opponents a victory. Teams like SMU hand all their opponents losses. So it will almost always appear that the good teams played a soft schedule, unless everyone in the league is hovering around .500.

Most schools are members of conferences. Every conference win generates a conference loss for another team. Teams with the best records will have more wins against teams with losing records. It's just math, folks. Discounting wins against teams with losing records ignores basic math! 

This is, of course, true to an extent.  The fact that each school doesn’t play each other is what makes it relevant.  If the conference played a round robin schedule it would be basic math, but they don’t, so it isn’t.  Also, I figured it based on each team’s season record, not just their conference record, so that discounts “a win for Team A equals a loss for Team B.”

If we had this start to conference play we'd probably be bowl eligible right now. The difference in difficulty between our conference schedule and SMU's (even UTSA's) is crazy.

Now, we should have still made a bowl game, but the AAC did us no favors.

Even though we had the most difficult conference schedule, still a frustrating season because our first six games were the most winnable half of a season in the 10 seasons I've followed. I feel like 5-1 should not have been an unrealistic dream. With even Bennett's defense from last season and Rogers starting all season we could have at least gone 7-5, and that's taking into consideration an 0-4 record during our death stretch.

The FIU and Navy losses are the ones that define the season.  Win those two games and we’re considered a decent team.  But we lost them so we’re considered a bad team.

No one is saying our season has not been disappointing, but with an unbalanced schedule, if you don't think it's made a difference, then you probably like to bitch to hear yourself bitch.

We lost to FIU and Navy and squeaked by LaTech early on. Why exactly do you think we would have magically been better against these teams?

FIFY

I almost stated it that way originally.  The only reason I didn’t is because I was wanting to make the point that regardless of winning or losing those games, we’re the same team, only people’s perception would change.  My point being, even if we’d have won those two games, we still wouldn’t be very good.

Should not have lost to FIU, Navy, Memphis, Tulane and maybe even utsa. 

I don’t necessarily disagree, but I think any team in this conference would have trouble beating Tulane, Memphis, UTSA, and SMU in consecutive weeks.

I agree. I would love to know what our record would be with smu’s cakewalk schedule.

    1. 14

      SB vs Wichita State (4/26)

      Regardless of what happens tomorrow.....we need to win 2 of 3 in Charlotte....right? As to backup catcher Moffitt......in our last game at Memphis....she tripped over first base....and fell on her wrist. I'm guessing it's a sprained wrist. As to backup catcher....I don't think we have one. But they used Olguin to warm up people in the bullpen. And remember on Kalei....she had to catch 16 innings last night.....and today's game was early. So might just be gassed. Go Mean Green!!!

      SB vs Wichita State (4/26)

      I missed the first inning but good to see Childers back in and getting some momentum. She retired the first eight batters she faced, striking out five or six but then unfortunately walked the bases loaded with two outs. After a wild pitch scored one, #29 for the Shockers hit her 18th homer of the year to put WSU up 4-0 on only 1 hit. The same freshman pitcher for the Shockers that was perfect through 4.2 last night started today and had a no-hitter through 4.2 again. Unfortunately this time she did not break. Wagoner had the last four innings and pitched well until WSU got some insurance runs off of her in the 7th. I hope Childers can get back in a rhythm. Gonna be tough to go to Charlotte with 1st place still on the line with only two reliable pitchers. Another thing I noticed this weekend was that Kalei seems to be a little slow going after those wild pitches. Obviously the first run of the day scored on that. We didn't even get a throwback to contest. I wonder if she's hurt. Backup catcher Moffitt was in a sling this weekend, I wonder what happened to her. I don't know if we have a third catcher on staff. Charlotte and FAU both won today, so they're 17-6 and we're 17-7. Would be nice if USF and UAB did us a favor and won tomorrow so we'd be tied for first heading into the final weekend. Seems UAB wins when we need them to lose, and vice versa. I just want a top two seed so we only have to win two games to take the conference title. I'm really tempted to go ahead and request Friday the 10th off so I can head up to Wichita.

    3. 2

      Any free agent signings?

      Gabriel Murphy to Vikings & Grayson Murphy to Dolphins. Noah Rauschenberg got an invite to Chiefs rookie camp.

    4. 2

      Any free agent signings?

      UNT has got to get guys drafted. 2 in the last 20 years despite having 5 different head coaching regimes during that time period isn't good for a D1 Texas school.

    5. 2

      Any free agent signings?

      Our kicker perhaps? Saw that Jason Bean was heading to Indianapolis and made me wonder if we will see anyone in an NFL camp this year.
