Marshall is at UC

Temple must win both non-power games against UMass and Army. Army derailed the beginning of our season last year, we must be better prepared. Last time we played poorly against UMass two years ago and only a blocked XP return for 2 points saved us.

Thanks updated it

all in all some pretty good matchups here

I know the MWC gets zinged a lot around here but all in, I think they are the closest conference to the AAC in terms of perception, fan base, etc. I think the AAC is better top to bottom and some of the stats people have posted prove it out. I also still wish the AAC could add the best of the MWC, decimate its closest rival and strengthen itself all in one stroke.

If that can't happen or wont' happen I would love to see the MWC and AAC at least get into some scheduling agreements across the board and also a bowl game that has our #1 vs their #1 (NY6 contenders aside). Could develop into a nice annual bowl game with decent interest for all involved.

I think we have a good shot at going 3-0 vs MWC this year

Playing G4 schools is soooooo G4.

Should be a lot of wins vs the mid-major teams.

Need to go 15-7 or better.

14-8

Dont encourage the cherry picker, you'll make me spend time looking up actual stats and context.

I'm sure three of them are mwc

Well, we gotta do our part at SJSU this weekend.

That is not one of the 8.

That SJSU game is actually a little scary for USF. They'll come in as a heavy favorite with a new coach and a lot of national attention.

I cannot argue with your logic, but SJSU has been horrendously bad. A close game is one thing. A loss would look horrible for the P6Fans. I just cannot see it happening.

They are bad. That's why it's actually scary. USF could actually be caught napping. We are talking about 17-23 year olds. They are not going to be consistent like professionals are.

Fair enough, but if USF loses this game, its a bad omen for the AAC. Alas, it will not happen.
