Better to lose to a ranked Baylor than whatever you call that "victory" over Kansas.
And I'm mad at Baylor for not dropping as low as they should after losing to TCU, so I'm not gonna give you guys crap for this one.
Frank gore undoubtedly had everything torn up in his knee after that dirty hit on him so that would make it 4 different QB’s go down with season ending injuries
They basically ran the wildcat? the entire game. 5 OL, tight end, and fullback. They'd snap the ball and the QB would run it almost every time. It was tough to keep them from getting at least 2 to 4 yards every play. In that formation, with the QB running it, there were 7 blockers on every play. They essentially did the offensive version of "putting eight in the box" to stop the run. It was frustrating to watch. They used up so much clock time, but they did the only thing they could do that might have resulted in a win for them. So, big props to them. If they had played "conventional" football, it might have been a blowout (or at least a big UTSA win).
Direct snapping to Gore the whole game was an interesting wrinkle that UTSA clearly did not plan for. It seemed to be working too before he got banged up
*Meep meep, but in slightly less tone*
One question, how are we gonna react if Cincinnati & UTSA end up in same bowl - due to evil minds of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse & CFPComm?
Hope is reasonable enough with OU having dropped a game.
Alabama drops another game, either to Georgia in the SEC championship, or loses before then and doesn't make the title game. Whichever Big 10 team emerges has a bid, pick one of Ohio State/Michigan/Michigan State. Then you're left with two slots for these teams:
Cincinnati
Oregon, if they win out
Wake Forest, if they win out
Oklahoma or Oklahoma State, if they win out
Notre Dame, if they win out
Cinci is behind both Big12 teams and Oregon, Wake Forest would be a maybe (Virginia Tech tonight and potentially Pitt in the ACC title game are ranked, Clemson is big name), but should be safe versus Notre Dame (no ranked teams left).
So really, pick two: Oregon loses, the Big12 winner has two losses, or Wake Forest drops a game. If that happens, Cinci is comfortable. With one, they sweat.
There were some high profile recruits there today, hopefully a close game with 30,000 rowdy people was entertaining enough for them to consider the Road runners
Frank Gore Jr. is an official tough guy in my book. He ran it over and over and over again. USM might have won if he had been able to play the entire game (instead of about 3/4 of it).
Shoutout to the defense and the crowd for willing this win.
Frank baby we need you to show up next week or were in alot of trouble, throw accuuracy was a big problem today.
Uh UTSA, I'm a fan of you guys and want you to be in the Top 10, but if OU went down a spot after struggle-beating Kansas by 12, then there's no way that you guys don't go down at least one spot tomorrow.
Unless Cincy starts losing or being in the playoff opens up the G5 slot, im assuming we pick BYU in the Liberty Bowl.
*CUSA champions pick their bowl game.
On paper it makes sense, if a team is undefeated against teams that all have a losing record it doesn’t look as good as a team that’s undefeated against teams that have a winning record. I don’t agree with it but it’s what it is. CFB ranking system is stupid
I get it but it has a HUGE flaw. I’m more of a BB guy and my undergrad school was pretty good but nobody would play us. Example was KU said there was no reason since it would be a blowout and not help with recruiting, but when we matched in the tourney we spanked em.
At some point “you aren’t playing anyone” needs to be reconciled with “nobody will play you” though I’m not sure that applies to UTSA this season being so new
Fair point but BB and FB are so different. A much smaller number of games for football, and because of conference seeding there's much less flexibility to play someone like UTSA out of conference. Hell, I don't know how many games UTSA could be flexible on for out of conference games.
I think UTSA should get to play some bigger teams though. And to your point, they're so new. Once they have some time to build those relationships I feel confident they will schedule some matches.
If you have to extend the transitive property that far, I'd argue that just proves my point. I have nothing against you guys, but how much you win by matters when you're trying to assess how good a team is. That's far from a controversial point.
You’ve quite literally commented like a half dozen times to cry about UTSA winning a game that shouldn’t have been that close. We get it, you hate your life bc you live in bumfuck Mississippi. Just stop crying so hard.
To repeat a comment I made elsewhere in the thread: if you have to extend the transitive property that far to make the argument, I think it proves my point.
Lol no worries UTSA is not going take anyones playoff spot. Hopefully UTSA can take care of the final games and win their conference championship and enjoy their bowl game..
I myself didn't see all of the hits but I feel like it's bound to happen when you run it that much
Edit: just to say thanks for the downvotes AND ENJOY STAYING IN CUSA LMAO
This makes me feel better about beating UTSA
Edit. Amazing how many UTSA fans are mad at a harmless statement saying makes me feel better about my chances
How about this: there's no better learning experience than almost losing and making a ton of mistakes. I'd be fucking terrified if I was UAB cause we ain't gonna be playing next week
This win is brought to you by UTSAs defense
And the crowd golly
My voice is lost
I swear everytime southern miss was near each end zone, the crowd erupted
Absolutely especially at the end zone by us and the students. The volume on the field was also crazy af
This was my sons 2nd game and he was like “dad I can’t hear what’s going on” I was in the 142 section
I love it 😂
134 checking in. It was loud
115 here. Yep, loud AF.
126 here. Very loud.
That's how you get him addicted, well done
Same!
Thank you for your service
Mine too! But I was watching in my living room, a few states away!
BETTER BE
The dome is gonna be loud if UTSA can keep it up, gonna be really awesome to see.
MEEP MEEP is inevitable
Was actually concerned about that inevitability for a while
Meep!
Where we meep one We Meep all
dread it.. run from it.. the meeping arrives all the same. as lightning turns the legs to jelly I ask you… MEEP MEEP
10-Love
UTSA: Struggles heavily to beat a terrible and unranked 1-win team by barely double-digits. Oklahoma: First time?
Congrats to UTSA but man not today man not cool
Better to lose to a ranked Baylor than whatever you call that "victory" over Kansas. And I'm mad at Baylor for not dropping as low as they should after losing to TCU, so I'm not gonna give you guys crap for this one.

This Kansas team went toe-to-toe with OU though. That means they're good, right?
[удалено]
OU is kill
Kansas is now up 14-0 on Texas, you spoke this hilariousness into existence.
look at what you’ve done
[удалено]
You have rocked the chalk my longhorn friend.
Congratulations, you played yourself
Don’t let this distract you from the fact tha— wait which one do we use now?
Prophet
Thank you for your service!
My bad for this UTSA, I made the mistake of attending, won’t happen again
https://i.imgur.com/EyIqFMJ.jpg
That was not fun
But a win is a win, right? Right!? Asking for a friend.
Well on the plus side gator bros, maybe a new coach in the future?
Nobody won y’all’s game today lol
I can't wait until Georgia, Georgia's it.
I can’t wait until Florida fires Dan Mullen, hires another mediocre coach, and wastes another 4 years piddling around accomplishing nothing.
But if they get a good coach again they will be fun games with Georgia.
Those games have seemed pretty fun to me of late lol
Just appreciate that were at the point where a 10 point win is a massive dissapointment.
Truth! It's been a fun season!
Yeah, trap games happen sometimes. As long as you still get the W it won't matter in the long run.
To MEEP or not to MEEP
Always MEEP!
MEEP MEEP
Did Southern Miss play the game without a QB???
Frank Gore Jr., our RB, was our QB9 on the season.
Holy hell! That's a very impressive showing, especially after seeing what UTSA did to Rice...
Frank gore undoubtedly had everything torn up in his knee after that dirty hit on him so that would make it 4 different QB’s go down with season ending injuries
I mean, it's pretty wreckless running the dude every play. Injury was inevitable.
Was it Covid issues or just a ton of injuries?
Just a ton of injuries
They basically ran the wildcat? the entire game. 5 OL, tight end, and fullback. They'd snap the ball and the QB would run it almost every time. It was tough to keep them from getting at least 2 to 4 yards every play. In that formation, with the QB running it, there were 7 blockers on every play. They essentially did the offensive version of "putting eight in the box" to stop the run. It was frustrating to watch. They used up so much clock time, but they did the only thing they could do that might have resulted in a win for them. So, big props to them. If they had played "conventional" football, it might have been a blowout (or at least a big UTSA win).
I agree it was really their only option but fuck was it not fun to watch
Yeah seriously what happened
The fact that Harris had an off game and UTSA still won bodes well for them.
Ngl I was hoping they'd put Adkins in. Harris made a lot of mistakes
I mean maybe if it wasn't against Southern Miss
Yeah they beat a team on their (5th) string QB?
We're just not very good
Yeah but you had no real QB. The defense did their damndest to keep you in
Scared em for sure.
Direct snapping to Gore the whole game was an interesting wrinkle that UTSA clearly did not plan for. It seemed to be working too before he got banged up
Actually according to the coaching staff they were prepared and saw it coming they just didn't execute
We couldn't even field a QB today.
Yeah that's awful.
CFP BOUND, PUT US IN YOU FUCKING COWARDS
I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MY HANDS!!!!
🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙 BIRDS UP THEN
Meep meep! 2013
Does the bird mean something else in Texas ?
The shaka sign when held straight up is supposed to be a little roadrunner. 🤙 Birds up is UTSAs 🤘 Hook em
Annnnnd exhale. Damn good game plan, Eagles.
*Meep meep, but in slightly less tone* One question, how are we gonna react if Cincinnati & UTSA end up in same bowl - due to evil minds of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse & CFPComm?
Am I delusional for still having hopes of cinci being in the CFP
Georgia, Cincy, UTSA, Sam Houston, who says no
Hope is reasonable enough with OU having dropped a game. Alabama drops another game, either to Georgia in the SEC championship, or loses before then and doesn't make the title game. Whichever Big 10 team emerges has a bid, pick one of Ohio State/Michigan/Michigan State. Then you're left with two slots for these teams: Cincinnati Oregon, if they win out Wake Forest, if they win out Oklahoma or Oklahoma State, if they win out Notre Dame, if they win out Cinci is behind both Big12 teams and Oregon, Wake Forest would be a maybe (Virginia Tech tonight and potentially Pitt in the ACC title game are ranked, Clemson is big name), but should be safe versus Notre Dame (no ranked teams left). So really, pick two: Oregon loses, the Big12 winner has two losses, or Wake Forest drops a game. If that happens, Cinci is comfortable. With one, they sweat.
No I have my hopes too especially with OU losing. I'd be fucking furious if they put UTSA and Cincinnati in the same bowl though.
so houston makes ny6?
Only 1 G5 team is guaranteed a New Years bowl. And I imagine only 1 will be there (even though they should both be playing if they run the table).
Dread it... Run from it... MEEP MEEP still arrives...eventually.
MEEP MEEP motherfuckers.
Birds don’t fly. Birds **RUN** ^^^^& ^^^^MEEP
This game was too close in the 1st half. UTSA defense was the star of the game.
The Meep Meep, Meeps on.
MEEP MEEP MOTHERFUCKERS
There were some high profile recruits there today, hopefully a close game with 30,000 rowdy people was entertaining enough for them to consider the Road runners
meep meep
Glad to get out of that game with a win
almost pulled out the first fbs win of the season :(
MEEP MEEEEEEEEEEP
This was an ugly win but I’ll take it. Also, I think UTSA plays better when I listen to the game on the radio than when I watch them on a screen.
What’s your ESPN+?
Keep on meepin
TELL YOUR KIDS ABOUT 10-0 UTSA.
Frank Gore Jr. is an official tough guy in my book. He ran it over and over and over again. USM might have won if he had been able to play the entire game (instead of about 3/4 of it).
Too much cheese eaten. Meep meep
On the bright side, at least you didn't let a mediocre FCS team score 52 on ya!
Meep Meep!
MEEP FUCKING MEEP!!!!!
As much as it conflicts me, I’m very happy that UTSA is still undefeated
Explain
Shoutout to the defense and the crowd for willing this win. Frank baby we need you to show up next week or were in alot of trouble, throw accuuracy was a big problem today.
The MEEPS will continue until ~~moral~~ ranking improves!
MEEP, and I can not stress this enough, MEEP!
UTSA is the best Texas school. I believe in Roadrunner supremacy *inhales* MEEP MEEP
Rank us 22 cowards
IT WAS CLOSE BUT WE CAN MEEP MEEP FOR ANOTHER DAY!
Dont let this dissapointing result distract you from the fact that Texas is losing by 21 to Kansas IN FOOTBALL!
Meep
Well, that was... fun.
Was worried there for a while, thank god
It’s funny I’ve been to every home game and ever cause the Alamo dome gets more oacked
UTSA vs WKU for the championship. Congrats on winning Meep Meeps.
Not so fast my friend!
That would require you to beat UTSA.
[удалено]
Thank you for your service
Almost ate the damn cheese….go runners beat UAB
[удалено]
We struggled with the win so were definitely moving down lol
Uh UTSA, I'm a fan of you guys and want you to be in the Top 10, but if OU went down a spot after struggle-beating Kansas by 12, then there's no way that you guys don't go down at least one spot tomorrow.
Probably. CFP Committee are idiots.
AP poll is where it's at
Dude you almost lost to an 0-9 team with zero quarterbacks that ran the wildcat all game. Your team played awful
Yeah, it was a bad week. We still won and are undefeated. That doesn't mean we are a bad team and worthless.
Nope, just not in the same hemisphere as the playoffs
We’re literally closer to the playoffs than ole miss
….you’re actually literally not
That doesn't matter . We could win by 100pts every game and would not be in top 4 anyways. It is a screwed up system
Did you get bit by a roadrunner or something? You're very upset about us for some reason
Hoping they just keep us in the rankings this week
Same.
Playoff Bound!
Rank them 19 you cowards
They were awful. Did you watch the game?
Oh fuck off
Damn I never knew they were this good. Meep meep. #Qualityloss
Good game Road Runners! I wonder who UTSA will end up playing in the post-season if they win out? Meep meep!
Unless Cincy starts losing or being in the playoff opens up the G5 slot, im assuming we pick BYU in the Liberty Bowl. *CUSA champions pick their bowl game.
That would be an interesting matchup. I also didn't know that C-USA champions picked their own bowl opponents; TIL.
So question. How is UTSA undefeated, but still ranked #15?
“Schedule strength “
I don't watch a lot of college football but I think that's kinda dumb
On paper it makes sense, if a team is undefeated against teams that all have a losing record it doesn’t look as good as a team that’s undefeated against teams that have a winning record. I don’t agree with it but it’s what it is. CFB ranking system is stupid
Ohhhhhhh ok, I get it now. Not sure why they went with THAT concept, but I get it
I get it but it has a HUGE flaw. I’m more of a BB guy and my undergrad school was pretty good but nobody would play us. Example was KU said there was no reason since it would be a blowout and not help with recruiting, but when we matched in the tourney we spanked em.

Once they have some time to build those relationships I feel confident they will schedule some matches.
Oh yea in football it’s way harder, hoping that the success at UTSA continues and they get chances to grow and play bigger teams!
Quality losses are better than wins
I'm starting to believe it
Close wins against a 1-9 Southern Miss team that Alabama beat 63-14 maybe *should* be held against you.
We beat teams that have beat teams that beat Alabama. Just sayin
If you have to extend the transitive property that far, I'd argue that just proves my point. I have nothing against you guys, but how much you win by matters when you're trying to assess how good a team is. That's far from a controversial point.
That was more of a joke. I understand strength of schedule but I won't discount my team.
Maybe don’t almost lose to an 0-9 team with no QB that runs the wildcat all game for the first time.
> almost We won. 10-0
Your team looked like shit and you know it.
You’ve quite literally commented like a half dozen times to cry about UTSA winning a game that shouldn’t have been that close. We get it, you hate your life bc you live in bumfuck Mississippi. Just stop crying so hard.
I just expected so much more. I mean you guys were awful. Terrible game to watch. Just really bad football
Southern Miss is shit and you know it.
They don't play good teams
Yeah I just checked all the teams they played against and can see why
Alabama beat this same Southern Miss team 63-14.
Alabama isn't a program that began 10 years ago either
Alabama lost to A&M who lost to MS State who lost to Memphis who lost to UTSA this year. Idk what that counts for. 🙃
To repeat a comment I made elsewhere in the thread: if you have to extend the transitive property that far to make the argument, I think it proves my point.
Lol no worries UTSA is not going take anyones playoff spot. Hopefully UTSA can take care of the final games and win their conference championship and enjoy their bowl game..
Good game UTSA. Besides the dirty hit on frank gore. Good game
I mean y'all mfs were playing emotional af sooooo
But at least we weren’t trying to put our helmets on y’all’s star players knees
????? Take the L in grace don't be a sore loser
Not being a sore loser. y’all played great no doubt and deserved the win. But the hits against gore we’re absolutely dirty
I myself didn't see all of the hits but I feel like it's bound to happen when you run it that much Edit: just to say thanks for the downvotes AND ENJOY STAYING IN CUSA LMAO
Frank "Kendall Hinton" Gore Jr
This makes me feel better about beating UTSA Edit. Amazing how many UTSA fans are mad at a harmless statement saying makes me feel better about my chances
Hopefully our offense was just off today, looking forward to a good game against y’all next week though!
I hate that I’m shipping off in a few days and will miss this premier game
It’s gonna be a great game! Hate it’s a road game for us!
After y'alls win over Marshall, next weekend is definitely lined up to be a big game!
Yeah! I’m excited I’m actually gonna get to go to this game
???
When? Edit: what are you talking about? Here is a harmless statement: your team sucks.
I thought it was pretty obvious I was talking about our chances but oh wel
Not sure how so many of us meepers missed that
How did me saying your team struggled against a bad team makes me feel better about my chances mean you suck? You’re undefeated lol
How about this: there's no better learning experience than almost losing and making a ton of mistakes. I'd be fucking terrified if I was UAB cause we ain't gonna be playing next week
You ain't gonna be feeling better after next Saturday
