Yeah I'm sure UCF was sky high playing Tulsa even though Memphis has played them two times in the last three years in the conference championship game. You caught em napping after two massive blowouts. Not to mention they were probably looking ahead to a game they had circled on their calendars.

Really? You are this bad at it? Maybe you should take a break from the interwebs till you get that jealousy over lil ol' Tulsa under control.

From the game preview:

Quote:With a 37-4 record since the start of the 2017 season, there aren’t a lot of opponents on No. 11 UCF’s payback list.

Tulsa, which upset the Knights a year ago, is one of them.

“Personally, I’ve been waiting,” sophomore quarterback Dillon Gabriel conceded without expanding on his feelings about the Knights (2-0, 1-0 American Athletic Conference) having an opportunity Saturday night to even the score for a disappointing 34-31 loss to the Golden Hurricane.

We didn't sneak up anyone. You know we beat them for conference championships and unlike Memphis had actually beat them a few times this century including top 25 versions. At their place even.

They walked in expecting and getting the same Memphis they had been beating on for 3 decades. Put up how many points and how many yards on you?

Memphis fans idea of football success is other teams missing field goals.

Lol Memphis.


The last 3 championships belong to Memphis and UCF. Keep dreaming. It was the perfect "trap game". UCF was on top of the mountain 2017+2018. Last year it was Memphis. Remember the double overtime championship game between Memphis and UCF? One constant for the last 3 championships, Memphis was in all 3 of them.

You have one win and you act like you're in contention for a National Championship. Only in a Tulsa world. Tulsa is 1-1! Hang a banner!!

Lol Tulsa and you.


Reality is hard I know.

Evidence:
Memphis had their best year in history last year. It took Tulsa missing a field goal. Memphis beat UCF for the first time since the 1990s yesterday. It took UCF missing a field goal.
Therefore:
Memphis thinks the other team missing field goals makes them good.


Evidence:
Memphis has never beat UCF for a championship, Tulsa has.
Memphis has never beat a ranked UCF team. Tulsa has, multiple times.
Memphis beats UCF once every thirty years. Tulsa does it regularly.
Tulsa beat UCF just last year and UCF's starting QB talked about it being a focus of his this year. Memphis was just another let's get this W.
Therefore:
Memphis Yankee's take is trash

It's like you enjoy self owning.

RE: Rating the AAC
For those who like ESPN's FPI, here are the AAC programs ranked by their "Strength of Record"
https://www.espn.com/college-football/fp...nk/dir/asc

The FPI we always see is designed as a predictor - e.g Houston rates 4.9 points and Navy -8.1, making the Coogs a 13 road point favorite minus whatever they assign for homefield advantage (which comports with the opening Vegas line). The ESPN advanced stats folks used their same data to create "Strength of Record" trying to reverse engineer what it seemed the CFP Committee has talked about when they've used those words so frequently. (They did the same reverse engineering to come up with "Game Control" stat when the CFP Committee kept saying THOSE words.)

Strength of Record rankings (out of 76 - teams with no record have no strength of record):
SMU #8
Tulsa #12
Cincinnati #21
Memphis #26
Houston #43
Navy #44
UCF #46
Temple #55
Tulane #62
ECU #65
USF #69

For those wondering about competition for the NY6 bid, those G4s above our median:
Coastal Carolina #9
Marshall #14
Louisiana-Lafayette #25
FAU #28
UAB #29
Air Force #34
Arkansas St #35
Troy #38
Appalachian St #39
You can then look at "Remaining Strength of Schedule" to see who might move up relative to the AAC teams. The best Remaining SoS of those listed G4s is Arkansas State, behind 10 of 11 AAC teams. All of the other G4s above the AAC median have a weaker schedule moving ahead than any and all AAC teams - meaning they could get poll bounces but little to no relative improvement in data-driven rating like this. Arkansas State are right in the middle of a bunch of mwc teams in RSoS. (Arkansas State is ahead of only Memphis in the AAC in remaining strength of schedule, who beat them head to head.)

For those who like non-ND independents, those above our median:
BYU #6
Liberty #17
Army West Point #40

Own this:

Memphis has been in the last 3 championship games. No other team in the AAC has done that. fact

Memphis doesn't need to cherry pick their accomplishments the last three years. Tulsa does. Fact

During those same three years. Tulsa is 2-10, 3-9, and 4-8. fact

Tulsa fan is trying to insinuate they are better than UCF in a ridiculous attempt to sidestep what they've been the last few years. Fact

Tulsa has one win this year and they think they should be considered one of the top four teams in the conference based on that one win. Fact

I'm not saying you guys aren't looking like you're on the right trajectory, and your defense looks solid so far. Get a winning record first before you start putting yourself in the top four, and quit trying to trash the teams that have.

Memphis last six games have been against Cincinnati, Cincinnati, Penn State, Arkansas State (don't laugh, they beat K-State who's ranked 22nd with one loss to Ark. St.), SMU, and UCF. We're 4-2 against those teams.

RE: Rating the AAC
I was watching this thread last and wondering if I should lock it due to the UCF/Memphis pissing match. Then I decided..."Nah" give it till the weekend and it will blow over by next week and when everyone starts rerating the conference all will be good. I was right, but didn't have the forethought to see the Memphis/Tulsa pissing match that would quickly takes it place. Thank God we are playing sports again.


Oh, so last week I was posting..."Not Last" for my beloved ECU as we finally won a game, and this week after another loss, I get to post "not last two"? What gives there...I'll take it, but I don't believe it, yet.

Navy played defense for one half vs Tulane.

Not hard for a couple of these delusional Tulsa rooters who think because they won a game unexpectedly where they were overlooked & they think that counts for the season. They even evoke CUSA as if it is relevant (when was CUSA ever relevant?). When the season is done, Tulsa will still be woulda, shoulda, coulda mediocre Tulsa.

This would be my ratings as well. Despite some Tulsa and Memphis fans mouthing off, Tulsa has looked good in its two games.
I wish ucf though had won the game against Tulsa which would have moved them top 10 and a one point loss too Memphis on the road would have kept them in the rankings and pulled Memphis in as well giving AAC 4 ranked teams instead of 2.

This would be my ratings as well. Despite some Tulsa and Memphis fans mouthing off, Tulsa has looked good in its two games.
I wish ucf though had won the game against Tulsa which would have moved them top 10 and a one point loss too Memphis on the road would have kept them in the rankings and pulled Memphis in as well giving AAC 4 ranked teams instead of 2.

Tulsa shouldn't be talking trash yet.
Our defense is formidable but, our offense has had 3 good quarters, 2 terrible quarters, and 3 bad quarters.
But, we have played at #11, now #6 ranked B12's OK St and what was #11 UCF.
We scored 7 vs OK St which is what KU scored and, we know how bad KU is.

We also scored 34 on UCF. Only Memphis has done better against them this year at 50. Difference being, UM was home while TU was away.

So, TU still has work to do.

You have one win and you act like you're in contention for a National Championship. Only in a Tulsa world. Tulsa is 1-1! Hang a banner!!

Lol Tulsa and you.


Reality is hard I know.

Evidence:
Memphis had their best year in history last year. It took Tulsa missing a field goal. Memphis beat UCF for the first time since the 1990s yesterday. It took UCF missing a field goal.
Therefore:
Memphis thinks the other team missing field goals makes them good.


Evidence:
Memphis has never beat UCF for a championship, Tulsa has.
Memphis has never beat a ranked UCF team. Tulsa has, multiple times.
Memphis beats UCF once every thirty years. Tulsa does it regularly.
Tulsa beat UCF just last year and UCF's starting QB talked about it being a focus of his this year. Memphis was just another let's get this W.
Therefore:
Memphis Yankee's take is trash

It's like you enjoy self owning.
Lol Memphis Yankee

Own this:

Memphis has been in the last 3 championship games. No other team in the AAC has done that. fact

Memphis doesn't need to cherry pick their accomplishments the last three years. Tulsa does. Fact

During those same three years. Tulsa is 2-10, 3-9, and 4-8. fact

Tulsa fan is trying to insinuate they are better than UCF in a ridiculous attempt to sidestep what they've been the last few years. Fact

Tulsa has one win this year and they think they should be considered one of the top four teams in the conference based on that one win. Fact

I'm not saying you guys aren't looking like you're on the right trajectory, and your defense looks solid so far. Get a winning record first before you start putting yourself in the top four, and quit trying to trash the teams that have.

Memphis last six games have been against Cincinnati, Cincinnati, Penn State, Arkansas State (don't laugh, they beat K-State who's ranked 22nd with one loss to Ark. St.), SMU, and UCF. We're 4-2 against those teams.

Tulsa, you're looking pretty good so far this year but it's really hard to keep talking trash to Memphis fans after a post like this lol

Not hard for a couple of these delusional Tulsa rooters who think because they won a game unexpectedly where they were overlooked & they think that counts for the season. They even evoke CUSA as if it is relevant (when was CUSA ever relevant?). When the season is done, Tulsa will still be woulda, shoulda, coulda mediocre Tulsa.



Good you put this all together so I don't have to respond to each one.

You really shouldn't put your faith in Yankee, I work this guy every five minutes. But you know that high saltiness is a genetic Memphis trait.

I use to think UCF was by far the worst of the we think football just started crowd, but then here comes Memphis beating their chest about losing games since 2017. Really that's your programs high water mark? And you want to talk about cherry picking while saying only look the last three years.

How believable is Memphis Yankee? He tried to up sell Memphis win and down play the Tulsa win by implying that a team who Memphis hadn't beat UCF since 1994 was UCF's superbowl. While overlooking Tulsa. This whole rant started because he got mad I pointed out UCF's starting QB in particular was looking forward to getting Tulsa back. Talk about jealousy 03-lmfao including the Tulsa is cherry picking whine (while cherry picking) and an actually provably false claim to hide his own insecurity at the fact that Memphis has one win against UCF in his 3 year period, while Tulsa is the only team to beat UCF twice in that period. But let's not cherry pick like Yankee, Tulsa has a winning record against UCF overall, is undefeated vs them at home, oh yeah and beat UCF in a game for a championship, while also beating top 25 versions of UCF.

As pointed out already every great accomplishment Memphis football has had, came via the other teams missing field goals. Last year it was Tulsa and Memphis snuck into the cotton bowl and that third championship game, only because Tulsa (4-8) missed a field goal. Memphis after decades of futility squeaked out a one point win vs UCF at home when the Knights missed a field goal.

So according to Yankee Memphis' best team in history last year need a bad Tulsa team to miss a field goal to reach its peak 03-lmfao

Yankee also knows better than UCF's QB who the team was overlooking 03-lmfao

Yankee admits that Memphis best historic run is two championship game losses and two wins by opponents missing field goals.

Any other tiger fans still wanting to back Yankee on this?

JRR IV?

Come on you know you want to jump in here you are negative rapping me but have nothing to say?

Lol Memphis

Oh we're not good. Our defense is good. We might win vs USF but I don't see us winning any more than that. Coach is too stubborn and we make way too many mistakes. OSU lost their QB and the back up wasn't good enough, kept it closer than even our good defense should have kept it. UCF is one of the few teams who makes as many mistakes (penalties, turnovers) as we do which contributed to both their losses vs us.

Run heavy teams will give us issues. Another season of close losses is what I expect. Unfortunately covid has so messed things up we have to live with Monty for one more year and watch the talent we have on offense go to waste.

RE: Rating the AAC
What is with the Memphis/Tulsa/UCF love triangle? If the argument is Tulsa v UCF it is quite clear that Tulsa has UCF's number. In a pissing contest between Memphis and Tulsa, it seems like the most important consideration is head to head.

On the other hand, Memphis has one significant bowl game in its history whereas Tulsa has 3 plus several others that were of moderate importance.
