I'm more curious as to which side of the bracket we'all be on. Have to hope to play Carolina and Iowa State
OOC schedule?
- Thread starter nevadanatural
- Start date
By the way the teams were presented, I assumed we are in the Illinois St/S Carolina side of the bracket. But I have no idea.
OSU, KState and Iowa State. We will certainly know how we stack up with the bottom half of the Big12 once the OOC is over. Win them and we have an argument in getting in the dance over any teams in the bottom half of that league. Lose them and...... Hopefully at least one of those teams can surprise and finish in the top 5.

It's interesting that this prognosticator has us 6th and above SMU. We really need to win in PR and take down Iowa State and South Carolina.
Yeah, his system is not a fan of their big-name transfers, though it doesn't look like it includes McMurray. In contrast, Scott and Jeffries both project as above-average offensive contributors.
Breaking my own rule of never mentioning the BPI, they have Wichita at #1. Also, Cincinnati at 11, Temple at 41, and UCF at 48.
That's the nice thing about this league, we will have shots at top 50 wins, we just have to go get them. In CUSA when selection Sunday came around we might be 1-1 against the top 50 while some worthless B10 team would be 5-10 and get in because of "all those top 50 wins". Now we might play 10-12 top 50 games, especially with the new home/away consideration, if the teams do well OOC.
The option should be included with season ticket sales if they really want to get a decent TU crowd.
