Seriously? That sounds out of whack it was 200-1 this year that is a hell of a jump. I put $50 on it and almost pulled it out. If it is that high I would put $100 on it.
Expectations. How many wins?

- Start date
I think there are only about a half dozen G5 teams, including UNLV, that have an inside track towards the CFP spot for the top G5 conference champion.
MWC - Boise/UNLV
CUSA - Liberty/Sam Houston State
AAC -Memphis/Tulane (Maybe Army or Navy)
SBC- Tough one here. A couple solid programs but they tend to cannibalize themselves in conference.
MAC- Same as SBC. One of them will score a big upset (NIU VS Notre Dame) and then lay an egg or two in conference.
More or less fits the number of teams I figure have a legit chance!
Pretty much.
There's usually some team that pops up unexpectedly every year.
I think in order of most likely to get a team into the CFP it goes.
MWC
AAC
SBC
CUSA
MAC
First two seem obvious with Boise, UNLV, Tulane, Memphis and Army/Navy.
I think the MAC s better than CUSA, but, I think it's easier to make a run in CUSA because it's not a very deep conference.
Mullen has a meek personality and looks endearingly awkward at press events but make no mistake that Mullen has a fire in his belly to win and win big. His practices are intense and tough, his expectations are that the players are relentless in the weight room.
Don’t let his media personality fool you, he’s very demanding and has very high expectations. He’s also a tremendous preparation coach, he’ll find the oppositions weakness.
I expect to win the MWC title and go to the CFP. That’s the expectations and that’s what everyone is working hard for. He’s not ****ing around.
11-12 wins.

I’d expect 8 as the floor, lots of moving parts and tons of new faces. If you say there are 4 “tough” games then I’d say 7-1 in the “easy” games, 2-2 in the “tough” games… so 9.
Everything above 8 is on the table and very possible.
Surpassing last season would be amazing. I’d actually be fine with matching last season. I was joking with undefeated and CFP earlier in this thread, of course.
Surpassing last season kind of implies CFP though. Surpassing last season means winning the MWC championship which could/should be CFP.
I think maintaining our momentum is good enough year one. Do at least what we did last year would be great.

With respect to CFP the uncontrollable piece is the performance of top G5 programs. A school could match our record and conf championship and get the CFP invite bc of a stronger strength of schedule. All we can do is control our own destiny and hope luck is on our side (as it was last season).
Have a third great year, and I expect more heads will turn in regards to UNLV as a potential Power 4 candidate. I keep watching ticket sales, with the hope that they can run towards the 20-25K season ticket sales. It would be great to have the entire first level sold out for the season prior to the first game, and I would love to see 50K+ at the UCLA game.
Going to be the hardest working UNLV team ever. People need to watch the documentary on the Florida gators and you’ll see the culture Mullen is going to be adding on top of what Odom did.
It is uncontrollable. So if you have zero influence on the uncontrollable, so be it. You still have a slate in front of you, maximize your opportunities and the chips fall where they fall with the uncontrollable. You can’t do much about it.
