  1. I missed this part of the tiebeaker: When comparing records against a single team or collective tied teams (before ties are broken So it's not just Tulane, but all of the 5-13 teams. Both Memphis and SMU are 4-2 against those five teams. So then it reverts back to the record against FAU because of part d: d. If the tie cannot be broken after continuing down through the last team or teams in the standings, revert back to comparing records against the top teams in order and allow winning percentage to prevail even if there is a comparison of unequal games. Only then, if the percentages are both 1.000, is 2-0 better than 1-0. However, the reverse is not true – no team gains advantage when all have a .000 winning percentage (0-1 is never better than 0-2). Thus, Memphis #5.
  2. UAB and SMU, right. The loser will be 11-7 with Memphis.
  3. No, it's one at a time. I missed something in the tiebreaker if UAB wins, because SMU has already played (and beaten) UAB once... and the tie breaking procedures (as pointed out to me on another message board) says when one team is 1-1 and the other is 1-0 or 0-1, that team is skipped. So this is the procedure between SMU and Memphis, if UAB wins - it comes down to who finishes #10. UTSA with a win; Tulane with a Temple win. #1 USF - Both 0-1 #2 FAU - Memphis 1-1, SMU 1-0 #3 Charlotte - Both 1-0 #4 UAB - Memphis 1-0, SMU 1-1 #7 UNT - SMU 1-1, Memphis 0-1 #8 ECU - SMU 2-0, Memphis 1-0 #9 Tulsa - Both 1-0 Possible #10 seeds: UTSA - Memphis 1-0, SMU 0-1 ... UAB + UTSA win = #5 Memphis and #6 SMU Tulane - SMU 2-0, Memphis 1-1 ... UAB + Temple win = #5 SMU and #6 Memphis
  4. Memphis' 1-1 record against FAU gives them the tie breaker over SMU. UAB's victory over USF, gives them the tie breaker over Memphis. Therefore . . . If SMU wins #4 SMU #5 UAB #6 Memphis If UAB Wins #4 UAB #5 Memphis #6 SMU
  5. I hope USF works with the City of Tampa to get 50th street widened to two lanes with a center turn lane before the OCS is built. Given the donor lots that will be close to the stadium will be most easily accessed from 50th and Holly (rather than 50th and Elm) it could be a bit of a bottleneck mixing donors with the general public who may not know where to turn.
  6. That is exactly what the Southwest Conference use to be. Southwest Conference - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG
  7. Dude... I never said anything about ONLY using Bull Run. Why not use BOTH roads and two options for donors? And if the choke point is the ticket scanning, add a second location: One on Elm Street and one on Bull Run. This kind of inefficiency will be more problematic when the football stadium opens, so ... as I said ... I hope USF learns some lessons from the traffic flow.
  8. Don't forget that USF played in an MTE with one game: the Orange Bowl Basketball Classic in Sunrise, Florida. So USF could have scheduled one more OOC game.
  9. Basketball scheduling is basically done in the spring/summer before a season starts. USF had a new coach coming in with a lot of new players, so there was clearly an effort made to ensure our OOC was not as strong as these others. Scheduling USF to face a top 50 program outside of the AAC would have been suicidal. The 2024 schedule will be a lot better.
  10. The schools will clearly exist... there will always be a need for post-secondary education and research. Those schools may no longer offer intercollegiate athletics... but the universities themselves, especially the public ones, will be around.
  11. FSU is getting out and going to a conference where they can make that back up in a few years. Going from the ACC to the Big 12 will very likely be a money-loser for schools like Louisville or Va Tech.
  12. Blocking access from Fowler -> Lot 6 is silly. Bull Run is two lines wide in each direction... those donors should be able to use Fowler, enter on Bull Run, and go to their spots. They should not be forced to use 50th street to Elm Street, where they have single lanes... especially if non donors think they can park on Sycamore from the same entrance.
  13. Now that's just silly. Hopefully lessons learned from these three games.
  14. No, but the main Sun Dome ... er Y.C. ... lots are far easier to access than Lot 6 ... but did they incoming divert traffic on Bull Run to prevent Lot 6 access?
