Good job, CUSA

Don't trash a decent week FIU with a NH loss.

We're 4-0 against MAC. MAC must have a horrific roster aside of 3-4 top teams...

Yeah, Western Michigan throat punched Georgia St. All the Sunbelt lost today except Coastal in an FCS game and Louisiana vs Texas Southern, also FCS.

Yeah, Western Michigan throat punched somebody. All the Sunbelt lost today except Coastal in an FCS game and an intraconference game Louisiana vs Texas State, I think.

I think ULL is playing an FCS team. Extreme blowout.

Oh yeah, confused Texas Southern with Texas State...my bad.

Five (5) wins against FBS opponents today:

FAU 41, @Ball State 31
LT 35, @Bowling Green 7
@MU 33, Ohio 31
USM 47, @Troy 42
@UNCC 52, UMass 17

Offset by:
Louisville 38, WKU 21 @Nashville
@Cal 23, UNT 17 >>> damn I really thought UNT was going to win
Duke 41, @MTSU 18
Texas 38, @Rice 0 (end of 3rd Q)
Army 31, @UTSA 13

Plus FIU napping through most of their FCS game but now up 27-17 w/7minutes left.

Hardly a “dominating” day, by any stretch. But at least, it’s not a disaster, either. Something we can build on (but will we?)

Eastern Michigan beat Illinois, wtf?

Illinois sucks. They were lucky to avoid a loss @UCONN last week. How I would’ve laughed, if that happened.

Whether you like it or not, we are assessed against SBC and MAC. They are our peers. Now, we are 4-0 against MAC and 1-1 against SBC. This week had made us look much better against our peers.

Agreed but EMU is typically very bad, too. Any win over P5 is good news.

CUSA’s season overall, so far:

0-12 vs. P5
0-3 vs AAC (@Tulane, UCF, @SMU)
0-1 vs MWC (@Boise)
0-2 vs Army
4-0 vs MAC
1-1 vs SBC (@App-State, @Troy)
1-0 vs UMass
FBS Total 6-19
11-1 vs FCS
Total for all OOC 17-20

Fully agree, goliath74

Yes, we're 4-0 against the MAC and 1-1 against the top SBC teams. We may be conference #8. We were, certainly, not there yesterday.

We are 6-7 vs G5. We are 6-3 against “equal” peers and indy teams.

How’s that for spin?

True and also pretty sad.
