First C-USA entry = UTSA

UTSA should probably be ranked ahead of TXST. We beat them last year.

Now who can argue with logic like that?

Memphis marks the first AAC entry.

Plus UTSA didn't lose very many players and TXST lost more.

They might be better than UTSA next year but I don't know on what you could base that conclusion.

They "should" be better based on how long they have been playing football, but somehow that didn't matter last season.

First PAC12 entry, Colorado.

114 UNLV

FAU gives us a little C-USA run; 3 in a row.

Illinois is the first B1G team on the list.

Couple of MW teams at 107 and 108.

It's kind of strange how some programs can be so bad for so long at both major sports and somehow continue to exist at the D1 / FBS level. At least schools like UNLV, UTEP, Memphis, UNM & NMSU are/were recently bringing quality basketball to the table.

So far, 6 CUSA, 3 MWC, 3 Mac, 2 Sunbelt, 2 INDY, 1 AAC. 1 Pac12, 1 big.

Depending on when the next C-USA team comes, we could have half the conference rated worse than 100th...

Might as well count UNCC and ODU early for 2015.

Makes me wonder why the AAC added tulane to be honest.

Hawaii & Army added to the list.

Hawai'i will do better this year, they are always undervalued.

Kentucky at 101 is the first SEC entry.
