The Tigers are on the Liberty Bowl's radar. That would also be the AAC's biggest Bowl Payout if we were to make it.

2nd, I still think the winner of the AAC gets a New Years 6 bowl.

I think the winner gets the NY6 bowl if it's Tulane. If it's SMU there is still potential. If it's UTSA, I doubt it with their early season performance.

Granted. I think they meant of our bowl tie-ins.

to be fair, no way to know, the committee only releases the top 25. No clue what is going on below that line.

True, but we had a hint of what they're thinking when Air Force was on the list. I don't see a team that lost to Army, Houston, and was blown out of the water by Tennessee getting in.

Appalachian St beat James Madison yesterday, so the only real threat left is Liberty.

And they still have to play New Mexico St, who just throttled Auburn.

Liberty has a schedule that's as soft as Charmin. We already know what the committee thinks of that with how they handled undefeated Air Farce.

Ouch. We should shout from the mountaintops that Ruin is now 2-9 against above .500 teams the past two years due to two newly minted 6-5 football teams. What a joy to celebrate after another letdown at home with a loss against SMU.

Those tiny Ruin statues are mounting this evening. Lifetime contract for beating 6-5 (for one week) Arkansas State & Boise State. And people wonder why we keep getting left behind? It’s that loser’s mentality SimpleWolf and many others have.

It’s hard to believe that you are not an 8 year old. Are you?

Truth hurts. Y’all erect statues for a guy who is now *2-9 against winning teams the past two years (this week). He’s a loser just like the loser mentality you have, Danny the Dimwit.

Lifetime contract if we eek out a victory over 3-8 Temple next weekend!

I rest my case. You ARE an eight year old.

i thought there were more than that

For some reason there we less on the home side this game. I guess 60 in the shade is too cold for some folks

The shade got us in the 4Q and, with the wind, it got a little chilly - not eniugh for me to move, but I can understand people moving.

Nobody is “erecting statues” for CRS. Most everyone believes that he should be doing sonewhat better, but his performance isnt one that deserves a firing. Personally, it wouldnt bother me if the Admin & boosters decide to make a change, but I wont be upset if they dont - kind of hard to fire after 9-/10-win season. I do t think our play under CRS has been THE reason for missing P5, but 2019-style seasons might be enough to get us over the fence. A coaching change CAN re-engage some of the fanbase and provide more optimism for the future. We are in an interesting spot. I think we need to get Memphis corps & ? put more in NIL, or make a change to get beyond the current level of “pretty decent”.

So can winning 8+ games a season. As far as fans, attendance, etc. we're not far off the mark from when Norvell was here. In other words, 30K is about where we are and have always been.

As of 11/13 Memphis SoS 99; Liberty 123. Neither are anything to write home about.

And Memphis's SOS is still quite a bit stronger using your data. Another SOS ranking system reflects the following:

75 Memphis
116 Liberty
