If we average 50 points a game and allow an average of 10 opponent points per game, and we are undefeated, we have a chance. I don't think it happens. 

I agree that in order for a G5 team with our schedule to make it, we would have to have that kind of dominance.

I do not think that is possible and I certainly hope that is not the expectation leading into next season.

I think we have a good team and a weak schedule and we should win at least 10 games next year.  It would take some luck (or at least the absence of bad luck) to go undefeated.

Houston will be a tough game and UCF will be the biggest challenge.  Other than those two I don't see a loss but anything can happen.

We don't have the schedule this season unless our margins of victory averages 40.

So 53 - 49 won't cut it? Hehe

Hey now, maybe this is the year San Jose St, Illinois, and Umass all go 11-1.

FWIW, Western Michigan finished #15 @ 13-1. Ahead of them: three 2-loss teams, seven 3-loss teams, and two 4-loss teams. LSU had 3 more losses, and 1 less win than WMU, and still wound up ranked higher. WMU had two wins over Big 10 teams, Northwestern & Illinois. 'Course, we'll be starting 2017 ranked, which Western Michigan wasn't, and we may have a slightly more difficult schedule with Houston, Tulsa, Temple, and UCF (maybe, maybe not more difficult, very close). It would take a minor miracle to reach the CFP IMO.

Meant to say, LSU had 3 more losses, and 5 fewer wins than WMU, and still wound up ranked higher.

Yep, 300:1 sounds about right to me. It's slightly worse odds than WBB beating UConn, but not much.

Wasn't 300-1 was the final score of the wbb/uconn game?

Exactly.

 

We may have a HARDER schedule, but not in the eyes of the P5. 

 

AAC is small time, like the rest of the G5 (from their view)

 

Example: Houston 2016-2017
