Tulane gave #2 Oklahoma all they could handle and almost pulled off a huge upset

We see why it is good for us to get out of the AAC. Tulsa loses to UC Davis, an FCS school. South Florida gets crushed by NC State. East Carolina loses by two touchdowns to Appalachian State. If Rutgers and Temple wouldn't have been postponed, then Temple would have gotten killed by them.

UCF comes from 21 points down to win in a wild one after a 3 hour delay.

UCF takes Boise St tonight on ESPN. As much as I dislike UCF, it would better for UC and the AAC if UCF won this one. Both schools have new coaches. It’ll be interesting to see what Malzahn’s offense looks like.

An interesting tidbit from the SMU article was mentioning being located in the heart of Dallas would help NIL opportunities. With the exception of Miami Hurricanes and Washington Huskies (essentially Seattle), few college programs thrive in NFL cities. I can see where these bigger cities would offer more marketing opportunities. Could benefit us, as well as Pitt, SMU, Cougars, SD St, Northwestern, Vandy, S Fla, or others.
