My 5 favorite NCAAfb teams for the next 3 weeks.....

[reagan21]

1. UNLV
2. Wyoming
3. Fresno
4. Utah State
5. Miami

We need those Rams to take a loss, two would be better.

....or....

Boise to drop the next 2 and we win out.

I'd love to be in that MWC championship game again. Regardless, we will be playing in December.

Was thinking it would be FSU but they have been playing so badly lately. CSU is so lucky with that schedule we would beat them 10 times out of 10.

 

[lvrebalum2012]

I still think (and am really hoping) that Wyoming will challenge them this week. It's a rivalry game and I'm sure the pokes would love to ruin CSU's run to the MWC championship game.

Most important thing for us is to keep winning!

yep. That's all the Rebels can control. @SJSU is going to be a tough W. Finish 10-2 and 7-1 in conference and just let the chips fall where they may.

My preference is to be playing in January!!!!!!

 

[InZoneU]

We are 0-4 and 2-8 vs. SJSU in recent games. We have also lost 4 out of last 5 vs. SDSU.

Both of these programs completely and totally own us.

 

[Mojo702]

If CSU loses one, what's the tiebreaker between them and us?

 

[lvrebalum2012]

If CSU loses one, what's the tiebreaker between them and us?

My understanding is this:

1st Tiebreaker: head-head results (none in this case, we didn't play eachother)
2nd tiebreaker: highest team in the CFP rankings (if we win out, there is a good chance we are top 25 in the CFP rankings)
3rd tiebreaker: overall winning percentage
4th tiebreaker: record against next highest placed team

Does the SOS adds to that as well?

(Lately) Other than UNR, most teams own UNLV to some degree, I’d think. I don’t know off the top of my head H2H against conference foes the past 5-10 years, but when you’re winning 2 or 3 only, most teams are going to own you.

That, was with Tony Sanchez and Marcus Arroyo.
UNLV, didn't play SDSU last year and Barry Odom lost to SJSU once.
Looking, to go 2-0 versus those two teams, this year.

And add to it our offense has been suspect a lot of the time in the last few games and we could be in a dog fight in all 3 remaining games. Between Marion’s lack of imagination and Hajj crashing back to earth, we just don’t know what this team will do because of our suspect offensive unit!

I agree. We shouldn't be looking past either of these teams as easy wins.

 

[j. spilotro]

I agree. We shouldn't be looking past either of these teams as easy wins.

If they aren’t focused, they’ll drop one of the three at least. I think we are pretty good, but not good enough that we could overlook anybody on our schedule besides Utah Tech.

They are going to bury SDSU. SJSU does worry me some.

Almost every team that UNLV has ever played owned them. This isn't the same team any longer

SJSU throttled us easily last year. Up by 20 in the 4Q. In a big important game. At home. Just the facts.

Fortunately for us, no Chevan Cordeiro!

Nick Nash is leading the country in receiving yards. They can still throw the ball well and will be a big challenge for us.

The bigger issue last year was their rushing attack. They put up over 200 yards on the ground last year, which really hurt us. If we shut them down on the ground, I think we win easily.

Last year he threw at will on us, 250 2 TD, no picks. Over 70% completion. He wasn't a statue either. Not a great running QB, but it was possible, something we had to contain (I think with Hawaii he broke 100 yards maybe twice against us?).

I haven't watched more than a handful of SJSU snaps this season, so other than knowing Nick Nash is balling, I don't know what they are doing. The only marginally good team they beat was last week, Oregon State. The teams they have beaten are a combined 15-42 overall, one of which is 3-7 FCS.

Nick Nash receiving yards:
170 vs FCS Sac State
225 vs 1-9 Kennesaw State
152 in the 2OTL to WSU (their best performance as a team)
161 at Oregon State

Then 90+ in all but one of the other games. They have 851 total rushing yards through 9 games. That cannot be the reason we lose to them in 2024.
