so i just saw UTEP is 5-1. i dont know how i missed this other than its UTEP and they are typically an after thought.
but thats 1 win from bowl eligible.
next couple are average teams with La Tech and FAU both winnable. then a tough one with UTSA but after that UNT and Rice.
could UTEP finish with 9 wins?

You mean the part where i called them a tough one and didnt include them in the possible 9 wins? Dumbass

The part where they’re another surprise school in the same conference and state and have a better record.

I'd guess it would have something to do with UTEP sucking for a long time and there actually be a UTEP fan on this site.

That's just me though

UTSA is a newer program that has only been playing since 2011 and have 4 winning seasons including last year. in 2012 they started the first half of the season at 5-1 themselves. in that same time UTEP has had one 7 win season and they scratched and clawed for it. not 5-1 start. 3-3 at the same point.
overall less surprising that they are 6-0 than it is that UTEP is 5-1

Not a chance. We ain't runnin' up a 9 win type flag yet. If we get 9 then some of those teams aint too swift.

Our wins have come against an 0-5 FCS team, NMSU, UNM, Old Dominion and Southern Miss. Those other four have something like 6 wins total among them. But, we've been losing to such teams so it is great we are now beating at least the bottom dwellers.

The bad loss to Boise State was really more promising than the wins. We were in it until turnovers hit and the defense decided to go absolutely brain dead right before half. Score ended up worse than it was.

What I like it is looks like these guys play hard and are hard nosed with a little bit of nastiness in 'em. They ain't real athletic but they'll give good effort. Our play calling is too predictable IMHO. Run, run, throw on 3rd down. And secondary is questionable. Loose zone with receivers running around in open space too frequently. Me thinks they are doing so to cover up some deficiencies there.

Overall I'm happy as hell. :beer2:
