Tech and Southern Miss have played each other 18 times since 1968 and USM leads 11-7 and the average score is 20-18. USM won the last 2 games in 2010 and 2011 by a combined score of 32-29.

Southern Miss has won 6 conference championships since 1968 and Tech has won 9. USM won the CUSA championship this year and Tech won the WAC championship this year. (USM beat Tech 19-17 in Hattiesburg this year).

Tech is only 174-174 playing at the highest level of college football. .500 on the dot, mediocre, on the dot.

I know, but look where Tech ranks among Sun Belt and CUSA teams since 1990:

Marshall: 114-63
USM: 161-105
Troy: 72-62
ECU: 137-126
La Tech: 126-130
Tulsa: 120-142
MTSU: 69-85
FAU: 41-56
Rice: 106-145
UAB: 75-110
ULL: 93-157
Ark State: 83-148
ULM: 71-136
UTEP: 87-170
Tulane: 86-169
FIU: 32-63
UNT: 66-133

Shouldn't you only use data from 2001? Two decades kinds screws the data.

USM: 86-55
Troy: 72-62
Tulsa: 75-65
Marshall: 71-64
La Tech: 62-72
MTSU: 60-72
ECU: 62-75
Ark St: 57-75
FAU: 41-56
ULL: 53-77
Rice: 51-80
UTEP: 51-82
UAB: 49-81
UNT: 47-86
ULM: 45-84
FIU: 32-63
Tulane: 42-90
WKU: 18-42
