Wasn't the UMass game a re-add to the schedule postponed from the hurricane?

I'm watching the Navy at Houston game. Where are all the fans? The AAC is just embarrassing itself with all the "P6" stuff when they have crowds this bad.

Come on, dude. The Cougars are averaging 33,249 in attendance this season, with their lowest attendance to date being 29,810 against East Carolina. And yeah, those aren't P5 numbers either, but today is the day after Thanksgiving and many students and such are out of town visiting their families. You can't cherry-pick today's game and make a generalization from it. Sorry, but we've gotta be fair about this. Now back to our regularly scheduled program, meaning the topic at hand.

Sure I can. If Texas A&M was playing today it would be full. The stadium was full last night when Ole Miss played MSU. Why do you set different standards for Houston? THAT'S cherry picking.

Texas A&M wouldn't be full today either. They might have all tickets sold, but they'd have pockets of empty seats in the upper deck. In fact, they nearly always do. Nonetheless, fair point overall because last year's final numbers for the AAC show an average of 31,611 for the conference, which is only better than four P5 teams (Duke, Kansas, Vandy, and Wake Forest).

The whole Black Friday/Thursday/Wednesday prep thing slowed me down on this... but whutev....

WKU @ FIU
MY LINE: WKU 31-26 WKU should be able to eek out a win.

UNT @ Rice
MY LINE: UNT 45-13 The pain train for Rice keeps on rolling.

UTEP @ UAB
MY LINE: UAB 35-17 UTEP is turrible

FAU @ Charlotte
MY LINE: FAU 31-15Ownage

USM @ Marshall
MY LINE: USM 27-24 USM eeks out close win.

ODU @ MTSU
MY LINE: MTSU 28-24 I think it will be a tight game with MTSU being the last team to score to get the w.

UTSA @ La Tech
MY LINE: La Tech 31-26 La Tech shows up to get bowl eligible.

It looks like everyone is split on the USM @ Marshall game. It's crazy seeing the pattern through the thread. It was literally switching between each psot for a long time, then there was a Marshall run, then a Southern Miss run, then back tot the back and forth.

Just FYI....UCF vs USF had a full house today. Great game too, btw. Much different that what Houston had in attendance today.

Also just an FYI, according to the official numbers, the game you mentioned previously (Ole Miss/MSU) wasn't actually a sellout. The stats showed 59,345 in attendance for a stadium with a 61,337 capacity. UCF/USF on the other hand was standing room only as Spectrum Stadium holds 44,206, but there were 47,129 in attendance.

Any idea how many might show for our game? I know that the UTSA contingent will definitely be smaller than normal because of Thanksgiving Day weekend. Several I personally know who would normally make the trip aren't. I'll be there though and hope it won't be as bad a turnout as I fear it might.

You were pretty close on a couple of those. I figured FIU would put something together, but not that. USM @ Marshall was a toss-up in my book, either team could have won that. I didn't see MTSU blowing out ODU, but ODU has been funny lately.
