Cyrus Smith: North Texas not reaching a bowl game. UNT was picked to win C-USA West and with Mason Fine, they had by far the best QB entering the season. A great QB usually goes a long way towards success in this conference. Not this year. First-year offensive coordinator didn’t mesh too well with UNT’s personnel and was fired as a result. I still think Seth Littrell is a great head coach, but this year left a lot to be desired.
Adam Woodyard: My personal loyalties aside, to me it’s that for yet another year, we had zero ranked teams in the conference.
