Exactly...
4-5 years from now I'd much rather have the ENTIRE nation talking about how a 12-0, or 11-1 ranked TXST team "didn't play" anyone
than to be perennially 8-4, unranked and still under the radar while only a handful of sun belt die-hards notice we always take on a tough ooc schedule.

I'm convinced that the path to becoming the next Boise and closing the gap with P5 is by inflating w #'s early on, not competition.

I agree. But you have to be able to pull off the major upset when given the chance (ala their game against Oklahoma). The number of wins got them there. They had to make the dream upset to get over the hump.

no doubt
and the ability to knock off a high profile team will get better every year. Because recruiting and talent would certainly improve with consistent success.

TXST is smack dab in the middle of one of biggest recruiting hotbeds in the country. Since the move-up we've already done fairly well finding talent considering that we have a long history of NOT winning.
