callen Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 You can tell that neither Fresno, USU, nor Houston are used to this ranking thing. The first time they get ranked this year, and it's like 5 year old kids fighting over whose father has the better job. Boise is the only ones who are used to it. They are the ones saying that we need to let it play out more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gap between Houston and Fresno is more interesting as all the computer rankings have Fresno higher than Houston. In many cases, Fresno is twice as high as Houston. Essentially the same Fresno team beat essentially the same Houston team in last years bowl. You are underestimating Ed Oliver. He's twice as good as last year. He kept the Red Raiders in check. They only got 605 passing yards... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just find the massive jump interesting and those familiar with CA’s dirty underhanded politics from the UC’s suspicious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus our perception and our conference perception far exceeds the MWC. Texas Tech 63 Houston 49 Did they see you allowed up to 63 points and over 700 yards against you? 1 Quote Disclaimer: Any views or opinions presented by this poster (Warbow) are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of the Univesity of Hawaii or it's loyal fans.

LetTheFurFly Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Congratulations to Fresno State and Utah State. Both good squads that need to make the most of their position. I have severe problems with Houston (or any AAC team) going from the top 25 fringe to 17 out of nowhere. That's AAC championship ratings manipulation being sown for a big metropolitan area. Temple may beat them, but if they do...they may just continue on the same shell game. Texas, South Florida and Notre Dame have no business being where they are/were. They're decorated cannon fodder at their respective level of football. SEC poll bookmarkers with fans that can afford an overpriced ticket (to their soft teams getting killed). In Houston's case, exchanging "X" AAC paper tigers for another is one way the press and coaches undermine the MWC's teams - and reality - to the encouragement of a higher advertising TV base. Iowa hardly moving is definitely a head scratcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you guys would have invested in the MAC brand instead of letting Boise het all of the resources because y'all got desperate for them to stay, then maybe you could get some bias. 1 Quote Cougars fight for Dear ol' UofH For our alma mater cheer Fight for Houston University For victory is near When the going get so rough and tough We never worry, CAUSE WE GOT THE STUFF!

And I'm glad you're aware of the BS your circumstance is breaded in. It makes that dip into the deep fryer go that much more smoothly. In my case, I tend not to value opinions from the livestock being fattened. If you want real respect you still have reality to contend with. Good luck. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
since1670 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 This is a great season for the fans of MWC and AAC. Each conference has teams that might go to the NY6 bowl. Any team might slip. We will all be nervous on every step. Competition makes it much more interesting. "Also I was just in Texas. Both in Dallas and Houston. I saw more SMU and UT-Dallas stuff than I saw UH stuff. Nobody in Texas cares about Houston. " The quoted statement is incorrect. Any observation of the number of alumni would show it cannot be true. UH enrollment is about 70,000 If all UH satellite schools in the Houston area are included. Yes, they are different universities but their Diplomas all have the words "University of Houston". They are only separated to allow the main campus to compete for academic rankings. A real poll indicates otherwise.

It's pretty sad that you have to come to a MWC (not MAC) board to prop up how awesome you think your team and conference are. "P6" is just as much of a joke as your team was in Hawai'i last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

since1670 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Houston will play at Boise next year. It will be a big TV draw IMO. Houston will win if we don't lose our coaches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UofNPackFan Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 What is going to happen and will be funny is Georgia Southern sneaking into the NY6 spot.
