For the first time in forever we have rank potential. Hear me out. 
1. beat FAU in that house of horrors where we have been stomped before. 
2. beat Memphis Tulane and Army. 

Now we may win 1 may win none but if we take advantage of this opportunity November could be special.

We find a way to win the next two on the road, we will have a real 25K for homecoming. We beat Tulane, we might have a real 30K for Army.

We have a strong October I know people Mean Green curious ready to go to the Army game. Another firebrand opportunity. 

But first silence the owls. Tame the Tigers and Ride the Wave.

Hear me out. Win the next two home games and have a big home game against a maybe ranked Tulane. Everybody is excited because we have a chance to pick up a huge win and really be contenders. Lose to Tulane by 30 points in a game that was never close. Start up the fire Morris threads once again. Repeat.

 

Would love to see a different result but I still remember a trip to Lubbock that is overlooked on this website's short-term memory.

I think the difference I have seen is the defense. When we went to Lubbock, this defense was in shambles. That's not to say they are world beaters or can hang with major programs, but I have to admit, they look different. I think the next 2 games will show a lot more.

AAC

Favorites: Army 35.2% (up 3.9%), Navy 25.7% (down 5.5%), Tulane 22.7% (up 7.3%)

Still in contention: Memphis 10.2% (down 1.7%)

Long shots: North Texas 4.1% (down 1.0%)

The AAC race boils down to two unbeatens versus a red-hot challenger. Army and Navy each moved to 5-0 with comfortable wins over outmanned opposition -- Navy won 34-7 over Air Force, while Army pummeled Tulsa 49-7 -- and are now 69th and 70th, respectively, in SP+. But Tulane has outscored a pair of AAC opponents (South Florida and UAB) by a combined 116-30 over the past two weeks. The Green Wave lost a pair of nonconference games to big-name opponents (Kansas State and Oklahoma) and might therefore remain a step back in the race for the G5's playoff bid. But they're athletic and marvelous at the moment.

It's not completely over for Memphis just yet, by the way; the Tigers are projected favorites in each of their next six conference games despite underachieving terribly against both Navy (in a loss) and Middle Tennessee (in a closer-than-expected win). They still boast more upside than most G5 teams, the defense has only underachieved against Navy, and the offense won't face another top-100 defense until Tulane in Week 14. They could still make a run, and SP+ hasn't completely given up on explosive North Texas either. But three teams still very much lead the way.

It's wonderful being 4-1, but there's a reason we are the second lowest ranked 1-loss team at #73 (Eastern Michigan also at 4-1 is #82).  3 of our 4 wins (not really counting the SFA win which ironically may be one of the better wins of the 4) are against teams with a combined record of 5-12 who have collectively been outscored 456-196.  Of course, some of those points against are ours, so there's that.  No win on the road is easy, but next up is #109 FAU at 2-3.  Hopefully we take care of business in Boca, but we will really find out about the mettle of this team over the following three games with Memphis, Tulane and Army.  Let's do this.
