Memphis will be strong again next year and again will contend for the AAC title. Already looking forward to next season.

Mike Jones is probably the 2nd worst CB in the history of Temple Football.

Yep, with the addition if Brady White at qb next season just might be New Tears Bowl worthy.

Poetic, but pessimistic, pray not prophetic.

Lol

Memphis and UCF not on the list because they have already risen to the upper tier. Should be a good conference with Tulane and others coming on. Houston coach needs to show he can get the program where they need to be. They have the talent already.

I wouldn't put Memphis in the top 20 teams in the nation poised to improve their win total. Memphis won 10 games in the regular season next year. Could they improve? Of course, but I can definitely think of 20 other schools that are more likely to improve their win totals.

The prose seemed to fit

Interesting list. Including Houston, Temple plays Buffalo and BC, both on the list. Our ability to win more games next year depends on how new defensive starters acclimate. Can’t wait for football! (We have no basketball)

It is a surreal, but good, feeling.

Well, yeah, how can a national champion be "on the rise"? Nothing else to rise too...

Just need to stay the same with another national title.

I think the Bearcats could have as many as 9 wins next year based on our schedule. Our out of conference games include Ucla, Ohio University, Miami of Ohio, and Alabama a and m. I cannot see any more than one loss. In conference we have, ecu, Connecticut, Tulane, smu, navy, temple, usf ucf. I put the teams from least to greatest. Usf and Ucf are the only teams that overmatch us on paper of the conference teams. I think Temple on the road is possible along with navy at home. Smu will have difficulty replacing their two receivers.

This year will be a pivot year for many teams, Cincy, Tulane, Houston, Temple, etc. Let's hope they all get over the hump and strengthen the conference up overall.

I could also see Cincinnati going 0-4 OOC. 3-5 or so in conference
UCLA-loss
Ohio-toss Up
Miami-toss Up
Alabama-loss
ECU-loss
Uconn-win
Tulane-toss Up
SMU-toss Up
Navy-loss
Temple-tossup
USF-loss
UCF-loss
I see 6 losses, 1 win and 5 toss ups. Could be 6-6. Could be 2-10. You list ECU as the most likely win for Cincy and I see an easy win for ECU.

You do know Cincy plays Alabama A&M and not Alabama, right?

I can't believe I'm the first to take advantage, but...
