Sure some will insist I picked North Texas because they are my team, and they are free to express those opinions. To those fans I will just say, if I determined there was a team with a better path to winning C-USA, my ranking would be different.

So, why is North Texas my top ranked team... well there are several reasons. First North Texas is flat out loaded on offense. No team in C-USA brings back more offensive starters than UNT, and the Mean Green were tied with FIU as the top scoring offense in C-USA last season. Second, for the first time since Mason Fine took his first snap at North Texas the Mean Green will feature an offensive line that will be a strength for the team. Third, Littrell has improved recruiting and brought in quality transfers to plug positions of need, mostly on defense. Forth, North Texas finally has depth on offense and defense. The player recruited over the last few seasons are growing into solid FBS players in the North Texas strength and conditioning program. High quality transfers from good P5 programs are coming to add depth at key positions, not necessarily to start for the Mean Green. Fifth, While I expect the North Texas offense to be the best offense in C-USA, I also believe the defense will be better than most, and again rank within the top 5 in scoring defense. And finally, while I really see North Texas and FIU being really close this season, I had to give North Texas the edge in the championship game due to the road each will take in the final weeks of the regular season. Both come off the same bye week, but while FIU has to play what will probably be a very good/ranked Miami team, and travel to my #3 Marshall in the final 2 weeks of the season, North Texas gets the luxury of a road game at my #11 team Rice, before finishing the season by host my #7 team UAB, a program that should be somewhat down after the loss of several seniors. I just feel North Texas will be the healthier team should the 2 meet for the title.

My prediction for North Texas 11-1 (8-0)

Enjoy debating, and I wish you all a successful OOC portion of your season.

Where is Side Show? He's MIA.

Where will you be when UNT wins next week?
