The ironic thing about all of this is that in my opinion, we're not really conference championship material at this point. Our conference record may or may not be great at the end of the year, but going from a 3 win season to conference champions is so rare that I can't adjust my mind to "championship contender".

However, next year we very well could* be in a position to prove on the field that we're deserving of a championship.....and we'll most likely have UCF/ECU both on the schedule.

*could be.......not will be, we'll see next year if we're ready to compete at that level.

I doubt we play both. They're in the other division, and 5 of our 8 games will be in our division, meaning we only play 3 of 6 in the East.

Thanks, you're right.

^ If we play both, then I'd say we definitely miss Cincy.

This has been a good year so far. I can proudly say 19-13

19-13 is somehow not as fun when we win.

Speak for yourself. Beats the hell out of 18-14.

Last year it worked perfectly, because UCF beat the runner up who beat everyone else, but this year we might never know if the #1 team is actually better than the #2 team.

This isn't round robin...

what the big 12 has currently is "Round Robin" All 10 schools play each other. 9 conference games makes it possible for all 10 schools to play each other. That's a Round Robin. The only reason I know that is due to all the round robin wrestling tournaments I used to wrestle in. Speaking of wrestling, the college season starts soon....oh yeah!

It would have been if they would have just waited until next year to bring Tulsa in with Navy.

No offense to Tulsa, but that addition is looking worse and worse each day. Hopefully Tulsa has a good basketball season to make that addition a good one.

It wouldn't have been round robin because you still would have had a 10 team conference with 8 conference games, meaning everyone avoids ONE other team. A round robin schedule means EVERY team plays everyone else in the conference.
