Coots have a somewhat easier schedule.

UC gets IU they get KS
UC gets Miami they get Rice
UC gets UCF they get Memphis


I think all the other opponents are the same.

Questions about whether Vann can get another season. Also whether he should even if he could.

Renfro and Vann out hurts. We had depth along the lines but that is starting to take a hit. Let's hope we can stay healthy deep into the season - we're only two games in.

Chuckster's comments on UC start around 3:15 mark...

I think he's a fan of the transfer portal...can't tell...

Analytics have liked the Bearcats so far this year.

Big 12 has been the second best conference so far

I know there is more to it, but it seems odd that Cincinnati would grade out higher than Arkansas.

We only lost by 7 to Arkansas at their stadium. That has to grade out fairly evenly for both teams. I guess the computers like our Kennesaw State game better than Arkansas' other game.

Part of it is still projections as well.

Yup. And it's computer numbers. They don't selectively move teams up and down based on head to head. As others have said, Cincinnati being a few spots above Arkansas is better understood to be Cincinnati and Arkansas being relatively similar teams, which we saw on the field imo.

TVF is an irritant.

i'm putting this here because i think it's a cool gesture by mason:

Only problem is, as a fan I have rules or buying a jersey. One belonging to a punter would be WAY down on my priority list.

I have personal general fashion rules about adults wearing jerseys. Although it's after Labor Day so black is appropriate.

I think Ben Bryant should start, but I was hoping to see Prater more in the Miami game. That was another negative caused by our sloppy play.

I’d like to get him game reps in case of an injury or to get ready for next year if Ben does not come back.

Also CLF said he wanted to get him more playing time. I enjoy watching both of them play. Another thing: I would love him to come in for a play here or there during a series and throw the defense off. Especially on the goal line.

Yeah... I basically said the exact same thing after the Arkansas game and was beat down by the stat wielding Prater haters that said in essence that he couldn't complete a pass to the ocean if he was standing on the beach.
