College Football Poll Predicts 9-3 Season For Mean Green

[NT03]

I presume you presume a victory over Idaho.

I think UNT fans presume too much when they presume this way.

#onegameatatime

Of course. I can't fathom a loss to Idaho. Not because i don't think it's possible , but because it would mean the season would pretty much be over as soon as it started. I don't want to even think about that.

I say UNT 27 Idaho 17

So they have us beating Rice? Who went to a bowl last year and returns almost everyone?

Hope the computer is right.

Rice is good, but if our offense is clicking at that time then it could easily be a game that goes either way. Their offense is solid but I don't see it as a juggernaut offense.

If our defense holds up well and we make it a game in the fourth quarter then I like our chances at home. Would be a very difficult and big win.

[CMJ]

I'd be happy with 6 wins. If we got nine, I don't even know...

[Chief Rising Eagle]

When we line-up, we are going to surprise a lot of people with how solid we really are. The Congrove has got it right: we are going to have a winning season.

[PlummMeanGreen]

Day'um!

This prediction made me look like a Negative Ned....I only predicted 6 or 7 wins.

I'll take 9! You'll take 9! Hellsbells! The entire Mean Green Nation will take 9! When was the last time for that? I think I know but I've been forgetful lately.

Hmmmm? If merely a few pieces of this team fall into place then...........?

GMG!

My first thought was "damn! Mac must have let CFP attend fall practices."

[KingDL1]

As long as we get 7 wins I will be a happy camper! 9 wins will have me fully back to a pumped up kool-aide pusher

UNT Rank 50 Record 9-3

SMU Rank 77 Record 5-7

[rws69]

Let's hope top-ranked high school players are paying attention.

[UNT90]

UNT Rank 50 Record 9-3

SMU Rank 77 Record 5-7

We won a meaningless preseason computer ranking!!

Woo-Hoo!!

[KingDL1]

Woo-Hoo!!

Shit, can you imagine if we did get 9 wins.

Mike you would not be going Woo-Hoo!!

You will be going Woo-Hoo!!

No doubt about it!!

[NT91]

What!!

[casual fan]

We won a meaningless preseason computer ranking!!

Woo-Hoo!!

In 2007 they said we would go 2-10 and we did.

In 2008 they said we would go 1-11 and we did.

In 2009 they said we would go 2-10 and we did.

In 2010 they said we would go 3-9 and we did.

Maybe they see something that some are missing. They have been exactly on most of the time.

The only other time they said we would go 9-3 was in 2003 and we went 9-3.

They might be on to something.

[casual fan]

It wasn't too hard to predict our record from 2006-10.

Maybe so.

But, what does it mean when outsiders are picking us to go 9-3?

Have they lost their minds? or....Do they think Mac is building a pretty salty football team?

Time will tell but I'm optimistic.

Don't oversell it. The last time they said we would go 9-2, we went 7-4.

It's a guess. The odds of guessing right for the 9th year in a row?

7-4 vs 9-2, big deal. 2 games off still would be a 7-5 season. Guess the thought/possibility of a good Mean Green season is too much for you to handle.

OR,

The odds are that this computer is due for an off year due to so many years of accurately predicting UNT football results. With the unknown component of injuries, redshirt freshman whose ability is unknown, etc., this computer is basically flipping a coin. When you flip a coin, you can only guess right so many times in a row before the odds invariably catch up with you.

In a coin flip you have two variables...heads and tails. In computer rankings there is no such 'evening out'. As an example, if you used computer data for a new product rollout, or what markets are more likely to be profitable to you, and you could only be right half of the time there would be no need for marketing, budgets, etc

Give it a rest...you don't have to be negative about all Mean Green athletics.

[UNTflyer]

I think this poll is just a reflection that nobody knows how the new kids will look in this conference.

4-8.

Oh, contrare, my Mean Green friend. Just don't buy into BS preseason predictions., whether they are 0-12 or 12-0.

Just cause I'm not a sunshine pumper like you doesn't mean I don't wanna win.

Ever notice it's the sunshine pumpers that always go personal with this stuff?

[MeanGreenGlory]

Just cause I'm not a sunshine pumper like you doesn't mean I don't wanna win.

Just out of curiosity...

What type of pumper are you?
