Let's say we beat ULL and split the series. We both wind up w/ same record & tie for 3rd. How is the tie breaker determined ?

need a win at fau to keep in the bye race...don't need to give the hooters a leg up

I'm usually game for legs up & hooters , but not in this case

Road game record? Not sure...

I believe it is by record within the division.

[CMJ]

That UALR loss doesn't look nearly as bad now as it did a few weeks ago.

[CMJ]

Also...not a Belt loss...but if we revisit the UTA game. The Mavs are 18-5 and on a 14 game win streak.

Quite a coach they have in A town. If JJ ever leaves us, I hope we give him a look.

UTA best team in DFW this year. I think if we played them again it'd be a better game, but I still think they are the better team this year. And they are certainly better than TCU or SMU.

I don't know what you are smoking, but I want a hit, maybe two. NT played UT-Arlington without Tony Mitchell. Yes it did have CJ5 and J23Will. But NT is a much better team with Tony and no CJ or JW, than it was with CJ & JW and no Tony. I think anyone that has eyes will agree. NT would be UTA by at least 10 if the 2 teams played right now.

I don't agree. Even when we beat UTA, it's never convincing. Plus, it's hard to win 14 in a row, no matter who you play. We have barely won that many this whole season.

I do think we're much better now than then, and could beat them no question, but UTA is obviously a very quality team. It'd be a tossup at the SuperPit, and I'd have them favored by a point or two there.
