Oh looky, we got 5 in the top 25!

Quote:9. Florida International Golden Panthers

The football team was so bad and going nowhere in such a hurry that it dumped head coach Ron Turner just a few games into the campaign. There was a bit of a post-coach bump, and the Golden Panthers finished 4-8, but it was still a lost season – unless you see it as a step back to take a leap forward by landing Butch Davis as the new head man. The basketball team won just three C-USA games, finished 13th in the league, and went 7-24 overall.

11. Florida Atlantic Owls

At least you have Lane Kiffin now, Owl fans. It took a horrible football season to get there, though, going 3-9 overall and finishing tied for last in the Conference USA East division. There wasn’t any relief in a rough basketball season, going 10-20 overall and finishing tied for 11th in the league.

13. Charlotte 49ers

Give the football program a wee bit of a break – it’s only been around for four years. Even so, the 4-8 season closed out with a thud, with few big plays and too many close losses. The 49ers didn’t make a lot of noise on the court, either, with a tough 13-17 season finishing tenth in Conference USA.

19. North Texas Mean Green

Finishing dead last in the Conference USA basketball standings – going 2-16 in league play and 8-22 overall – takes away from a step-forward football season under head coach Seth Littrell in his first year. Yeah, the Mean Green finished 5-8, but they managed to get to a bowl game.

21. UTEP Miners

The Miner basketball team got hot late in the year winning seven of its last eight games before getting bounced out of the Conference USA tournament. Going 12-6 in the regular season and finishing tied for third, but that was it for the fun, finishing 15-16 on the year. The hoops positives weren’t enough to overcome the overall record, or the horrible season from the football program finishing last in the West and going 4-8 overall.

Yeah, rebranding. How about, "We're the Best of the Worst".

Sad life

If the top 5 schools wins enough....people don't worry about the bottom. The bottom needs to get better but all that will do is make you average unless the top ups it's game.

To up our game that means winning OOC and against most of those P5 schools that we are suppose to beat...at least good programs are suppose to. This conference will never get over the hump till we have a strong top 4 or 5 that competes with the top of the AAC and the MTW and the middle of the pack P5 schools.

Forget about the bottom because as I said...that's average. Which at this point would be a improvement. But with a 3 other teams besides Middle in the top 40 to 75 range. Middle would not have been on the bubble. No matter how bad the bottom was. To get press it will take the top getting way better than we are. And if the bottom improves at the same time....

Well, you get 2 or 3 teams in the dance and compete for the top of the G5 money....

which is peanuts compared to getting 3 teams in the tourney and winning a few games and building up NCAA Units
