North Texas lives up to expectations heading into the third season of coach Seth Littrell's tenure by winning Conference USA's West Division title. That performance vaults UNT into the C-USA title game for the second straight year. The Mean Green avenge a loss to Florida Atlantic in last season's conference title game and head to a bowl for the third straight season. UNT reaches the goal coach Littrell set heading into his first season -- guiding the Mean Green to a bowl victory. Littrell elects to pass on opportunities to move on to another school higher up the college football food chain and remains at UNT to continue building the program.
