First full weekend of CFB is best weekend of the year!!

Last night bellied up to the bar at the brewery in my building I told the bartender who is from Eugene that in 3 weeks I’d be in Eugene for the Oregon v Boise St game. She said it’s your favorite time of year, it’s like your Christmas, I said It’s better than Christmas.

I saw that Boise went with Madsen instead of Nelson as their QB1

From what I have read over the last few months (including a Sun article), Kruger has discussed the possibility of Boone staying. A story was put out a couple of months ago that they could bring him back as a walk-on, making up the loss of scholarship through an NIL deal.

Hot off his NIT run, was hoping the NBA was calling…

Maybe he passes it to Whaley in the post this time around.

Remember when any article about UNLV was for the bottom 5.

Yeah, you kind of have to throw out the old rules with regards to the G5 arguments. It wont just be based off "who is undefeated in a weak conference and played a weak schedule." Theres a ranking system for the SOS like an at large bid in the tournament. They did this because no one wants to see a weak undefeated G5 team get shellacked in a playoff game just so they can say "look where we got".. The MWC will be ranked above the other G5s just over the type of schedule MWC program play. Then you get into the arguments of WMC champ with 2 losses vs undefeated weak conference champ... Thats where the new rules come in.

It's not what they do now. The G5s are ranked in with the Top25. And the only G5s that climb up the ladder are unbeatens. Once they get beaten, it's bye Felicia to the top 25 almost every time. I mentioned a separate G5 poll which would basically be what you addressed.

Who are on the NFL's watch list?

I got some generic dude at QB #4. Speed 71 rating. Can't run past a nose guard. Looks like Stanton.

How do I import Sluka or HMW?
Click to expand...
No idea. I have only played return to glory as a QB, but did notice that neither Sluka or HMW weren't on the roster.

I'm guessing since both were FCS last year, they couldn't agree to the NIL deal that all existing players had. Either that, or they both declined being in the game.

If it is the former, I could see them being added with an update at some point.

As it stands, basically the G5 team that goes unbeaten will be in that slot, regardless if they played a crap schedule ala Liberty. Who will then go into a real game and get murdered. This needs to be fixed. Maybe a separate top 10 G5 ranking.
Click to expand...
Maybe, but maybe not. Liberty got the call because there were a lot of teams beating each other up in the upper echelon of G5 last year. The MW, usually one of the best G5 conferences beat each other up. AAC, though lost a lot, still had a relatively down year. Liberty was undefeated in a bad conference. There were FCS teams with stronger SOS.

It looks like they are having a similar approach this year. I don't think they jump a 1 or even 2 loss MW champion this season.

I think they got New Mexico State on their schedule this year? If they do, they won't go undefeated.

Addendum: They are playing UNMSU in NM. Las Cruces? Man, that is a sorry ass schedule....

Even though I lives in FL, I dont know much about USF football team. I have not watch them much or keep up with their progressions. Heard they do have a very solid team. Boise State if USC QB transfer plays to his capabilities plus their supporting cast will be very strong. Perhaps the strongest. Jeanty is the real deal. UNLV have a ceiling maybe higher than Boise because of Coach Odom and Marion. The unknown is how the players gel together as a unit. And play with confidence. Hard to play with confidence when you have this many new parts. One game at a time. Houston first.

Nelson couldn't even beat out Madsen... Boise was mediocre last year till Madsen got hurt and they replaced him with Green... alot of the Boise hype was over Nelson at QB and as of right now, that's not happening...

I am not so sure that going undefeated would get them an invite based on such a weak schedule. I believe the highest rated G5 would get the invite, and it may be tough for them to be the highest rated with a weak schedule.

I’m more excited about this football season based on recent past results and potential than I have been about our realistic basketball chances over the past decade.

But even the hiring of Odom heading into last season had me more excited than any basketball pre-season for the past 10 or so years.

I watch old clips sometimes, even from when Marcus Banks was here and we were “angry” about the overall team …. And the excitement was head and shoulders above what it is right now.

Hopefully UNLV marketing department do a better job after this season. Crickets after a 9-5 season. You have gotten to be kidding me UNLV!
