I'd take the CCG loss every time. 13-1 is just way better than 9-5 regardless of the trophy

Would you rather:

-win a conference championship and the  lose the bowl game going 9-5 overall on the year (unlikely but possible)

-lose the conference championship game after an undefeated year and win the bowl game, going 13-1 overall

We'd have to go 13-0 and beat the #5 team in a NY6 bowl to get upper top 10 in the final AP poll. It's highly doubtful we'd break the CFP top 10 unless the West Division winner was pretty high ranked also ...  And we use the term "midgets" to identify the non P-5 so even a lofty ranking won't change the "tallest midget" moniker.

 

Considering we are starting out at #20 (assuming we stay there with the real preseason rankings), I doubt that we need many things to fall our way to finish #6 or higher after our bowl game (assuming we go undefeated, which I am not trying to predict before game 1)

If we go undefeated and beat a really good team in a ny6 (possible playoff) at 13-0 , (after going 11-2 last year) no one will be calling us midgets. That will put us ranked somewhere between #1-5

And #6 is the low end... Houston was 5 or 6 midway through the season

All I'm saying is this. We go undefeated next year and strong leaves, we'll be the tallest midget. We go one loss next year and strong stays we'll probably still be the tallest midget. The difference between a 13-0 USF and a 12-1 USF is not very big on the national scheme. However strong staying an additional year....that has greater impact than that one loss imo

Well at least we can offer playing time (probably instant starting position at this point). I bet recruiting is going to be rough....

I definitly want to see it happen! And dump Tulane while we are at it

I agree, I'm going to be optimistic about this hire. If he can recruit like, 3 5-star guys, we could have a chance to win 12 games next year. 

I think this speaks on the lack of support for our football team than a positive for bball. Bball SHOULD be profitable, considering how little upkeep there is to it
