This is not the ideal way to start a traveling trophy, but we do what we can...

C-USA is home to 33% of the FBS programs in the state of Texas. I have long thought there should be a traveling trophy that recognizes the best Texas team within our western division... something like a title belt, that can change hands throughout the season. After 4 seasons, I think we have enough data to establish where this fictitious title should start.

After reviewing the data, it is clear Rice and UTSA have had the most success against the other C-USA Texas programs, both going 7-5 over the first 4 seasons of this configuration. And, neither have a losing record against any of the other C-USA Texas programs.

I found this on the internet. It works for this fictitious title.



On October 21 Rice and UTSA will play in San Antonio. The teams may not fly the above flag in the end zone, and the winning team may not run and claim it at the conclusion of the game, but the winning fans can add this "Come and Take It" flag to their sig, until they lose it to another C-USA Texas team. I will use this thread to keep track of which C-USA Texas program has the rightful claim. Post a reminder of when the flag is on the line. And, this will also serve as the official "Look at us... We are the Best in Texas" thread.

Good luck to both Rice and UTSA. I'm sure we will enjoy a fun and exciting game. Hope you Texas fans enjoy.
