Stats don't tell everything, but if Memphis could run back kicks every play, it might be close. UCF will hang  40 on them IMO.

Will probably be a closer game than these rankings suggest. Head to head like this doesn't really paint a good picture. Sure, Memphis' defense doesn't look that good, but they also played a UCLA team that will have a 1st round QB in the draft and probably a couple of other early round picks on offense..while UCF played FIU and a Maryland team that probably won't impress as much as that Texas win suggested the first week of the season.

even if UCF beats Memphis I still don't see the team running the table till Thanksgiving weekend(would love to be wrong). The team is filled with Freshman and Sophomores for the most part, there will be a wtf performance on the road.

 

Not having that bye week is going to make a difference. 8-9 in row is tough even for an NFL team. Also, playing at Navy is never easy - they never start off the year with much hype but usually emerge towards the middle of the year with a signature win and 5-1 record.

SMU game will be a track meet. Tie your laces up good for that one.

Really looking forward to UCF/Memphis. It’s the first real marquee conference game of the season.

Long season for both teams.   Still a lot of football to play.

I would argue it's much more difficult for an NFL team.

Eh I'd say it's a wash. You have higher class athletes so you would assume that they won't get hurt as much, but they are getting the snot kicked out of them by other elite athletes soooo....that said, NFL teams probably provide better treatment to players since they have more money to throw around.
