Most favorable AAC West Opponent?

[The Knightman Cometh]

I'm not afraid of Houston as I once was but let's be honest, I'd prefer a Memphis win/Houston loss so we can play Memphis in the AAC championship.

Who do you prefer?

And is there a scenario where we would want to challenge ourselves and play Houston? They only reason I'd play them is if they were ranked by the time of the AAC championship game. Other than that, there's no reason to play em if they're outside the top #25.

 

[muckdawg24]

I'll take Houston, cause they have no defense and missing their star QB. Who knows if Oliver plays either.

 

[SiberianKnightmare]

Didn’t we already clobbber SMU? I’ll take them.

 

[clmssun]

It will be the winner of Houston-Memphis. I think I would prefer Houston, but I think it will be Memphis.

 

[Poolside Knight]

I do not see Houston beating Memphis without King.

 

[Mikesi]

Undefeated defending National Champions don’t care about 2-3 loss teams from the west.

We will just kick whoever’s asses and take names later

 

[rainman614]

Memphis is a good team. Memphis is better at home than away. I believe Memphis will win this weekend and they will be coming to Orlando for the CG.

Another GOL truism is that it's tough to beat a team twice in the same season. I've paid attention ever since and he's right. Not saying that we can't though...

Except that we just did it last year.

This is all that matters....SMU blew their chance. Memphis is gonna be tough at home for Houston.

Especially with that new stout defense!

It would be sad/funny if we beat Memphis 4 times in 2 years.

Good thing for us that Memphis essentially beat us last time lol. Rule won’t apply

 

[firm_bizzle]

I don't want Memphis. They are due.

 

[muckdawg24]

Ok, if Houston wins, they are in, if Memphis wins they are in?

 

[Stetson_1883]

I'd rather play Houston over SMU/Memphis simply because we haven't played THEM yet.

 

[MckenzieMilton10]

Smu is already Eliminated.

 

[CFKnight]

Houston, because they are ranked higher in the Colley Matrix and we need to improve our SOS.

Colley Matrix (week12)
UCF #6
Cincy #16
Temple #43
Houston #49
South Florida #64
Memphis #74

I want Memphis, because it's going to be a repeat, but opposite of last year. We've already played the "close" game, now will be the blow-out game.

Yep. The world will scream “Upset alert!” And then we ruin everyone’s dream.

OP this thread should be a Poll. Please UCFix.

Then I'll vote.

Just because it happened doesn’t mean it’s not hard. Last year’s CCG was a coin flip at the end. Luckily, as others have pointed out, we got that one out of the way early

 

[Asphalt.Jungle]

houston. memphis 4 times in 2 years and they haven't beaten us since forever. all streaks must come to an end and even though our team is full of ballers who rise to the occasion, i don't believe in tempting fate.

I don’t believe in jinxes or due.

yeah but the results are getting closer. game 1: blowout game 2: overtime game 3: 1 point win.

It’s a 3 game cycle that repeats itself

 

[beelit47]

Im simply not worried about memphis. They threw everything they could at us...and lost. We also made adjustments on defense and shut them out in 2nd half. Bring it to the bounce house and we will make them the next version of cincy

 

[G-Knight]

Sign me up for Houston. I am tired of playing Memphis.

 

[SiberianKnightmare]

Anyone think we think Memphis holds us to 21 at home? Really?

 

[HammerB08]

Henderson is probably the greatest individual threat between the two teams now that King is out for the year. I think we put up tons of points on either defense but maybe Memphis could keep pace in a shootout over Houston with a wet behind the ears freshman QB. They play this Friday for all the West marbles, so this will probably sort itself out and we'll get the tougher test of the two.

 

[Crazyhole]

Outside perspective: you want Houston. They are much more respected this year.

 

[UCF0509]

No King, no problem. With Oliver seemingly done for the year Houston is the easy choice.

I was thinking Oliver might be able to get good tape on us.

ESPN is reporting Oliver is playing in the Memphis game.

Good move now for a variety of reasons

He has to show he’s not injured and that he’s fixed the issue with the coach

NFL scouts jump all over that stuff

 

[MercedesKnight]

Would much rather it be Houston. We've already played Memphis 3 time in 2 years, with a 4th time it starts getting too repetitive. Plus, if you give a team too many opportunities, it's just a matter of time before they figure out a way to be competitive against you.

 

[Knight_Classes_begin_7pm]

Houston has a wounded duck
..aka the QB.....banged up. I'll take Houston

Seems like they’ve already figured out the competitive part. Let’s just make sure they don’t take the next step.
