I agree that the conference is getting worse, but I still think it is better than MWC and Sunbelt. MWC really sucks this year. Sunbelt is a pretty strong conference this year though with Louisiana and Coastal Carolina.

But regardless of the strength of the conference, Memphis will be THE premier football program in the G5 - who else even comes close? Boise State? They're 3-4 this season. Probably SMU. The American conference champion will be well poised to make a NY6 bowl every single year.

Bowls mean nothing now---they are glorified exhibitions --all that matters is the playoffs----if we don't get in the BIG12 then we are screwed ----UNLESS UNLESS they give the G5 a guaranteed spot in the playoffs ---then our odds of making the playoffs are greater than the COMMUNISTS/OLE PISS/ARKANSUCK/MISTAKE and 90% of the other so-called POWER5 schools----actually a much better chance---depending on which G5 school they rank the highest preseason

If they DON'T give the G5 a guaranteed slot------then most likely the G5 starts their own playoffs .

I think if the BIG12 adds 4 more we get in -----2 more MAYBE MAYBE we are #2 on everybody's list only behind BOISE

All that matters is the playoffs? Only 11 teams have been in the playoffs in 7 years and 4 out of the top 5 in the rankings this season have been there before. If you asked a monkey, a monkey would NOT say that only the playoffs are important, but then complain like a sandal wearing communist if tickets go up $5 in an OCS. Do non playoff games NOT matter but it DOES matter if tickets go up $5 to see games that do NOT matter? As I correctly pointed out, an infant monkey is already smarter than you because you can teach it to copy and paste in 2 minutes, and you are in your 70's and still don't know how.

Let's see how you measure up against the monkey with this one.

Why do you care if tickets go up $5 and exclude a sandal wearing communist like you from going to every single game, if the games do NOT matter? Good luck Jethro.

If/when they go to 12 or more---and the G5 --ARE --guaranteed a spot ?--that will change

Getting in the so-called Power5 gets us a shot----or a guaranteed spot for a G5 gets us a shot

It's a shame that the MONKEY didn't inform you and your IDOLS that we were not #2 on everybody's list ONLY BEHIND CINCINNATI-----because most monkeys knew that

Yeah, and "are you kidding me" on that TD run.

Yep. Thank goodness for YouTube because I am afraid that GameDay and the trip to Dallas are probably the pinnacle of Tiger football. We are gonna be hard pressed to be the top G5 team in future years even if we win a watered down AAC. This won’t be anywhere near the 6th best league

It will either be the AAC or the MWC.
And it will depend upon who is at the top of each.
Sagarin ratings this year have the MWC as #6 and AAC as #7.
If you replace the 3 departures with the 6 newcomers, using this year's Sagarin, then it's still MWC #6 and AAC #7 - though the gap is wider.
But the Access Slot will no longer be the AAC's to lose, for sure.
Memphis will have to win it with an undefeated or 1-loss season, and then see how the MWC champ looks.

Great offensive play-calling, explosive, great defense, everything looked really good. Seems like the coaches and the players have figured things out and everything just started to click. That was the best we have looked as a complete team since 2019. We have a quarterback who is only going to get better and may end up being the best qb of all time. I think Silverfield is learning and growing as a head coach. He is a smart guy and he will continue to improve. I think this football program has a very bright future.

Jethro, you are falling way behind the monkeys. You're down 3-0 about to go down 4-0. You are saying the dumbest crap possible. I'm repeating what you say to show you how dumb it is.

Jethro Statement #1
It is a crime against humanity if your cheap freeloading communist a$$ has to pay $5 more for tickets in an OCS to games that you claim are meaningless. Meaningless, but you are crying like a little communist baby.

Jethro Statement #1
Only playoff games are important

Why are you crying like a little baby about tickets going up $5 when you say the games are meaningless? The monkeys are pulling away. Good luck Jethro.

He is a communist. Him and a handful of his communist friends will be picketing Kroger and hiring an ACLU attorney to sue them and the university for not giving away cheap tickets.

Back in the 70's you basically had to be top 20/25 to go to a bowl---80's seems like it was maybe top 30/40--------heck nowadays it seems like one game over 500 gets you in------as the playoffs continue to expand bowls will continue to became less and less relevant -----just my opinion
