From Bill Connelly. For the record, I think these ratings are flawed. This is the guy who ranked the 2015 Cougars outside the Top 30, behind teams we beat like Navy, Florida St and Louisville. He places way too much emphasis on recruiting rankings IMO.
But for discussion purposes:
1. Houston (49)
2. USF (56)
3. Memphis (61)
4. Temple (67)
5. Navy (71)
6. Cincy (75)
7. Tulsa (77)
8. UCF (78)
9. SMU (81)
10. Tulane (94)
11. East Car (100)
12. UConn (125)

Other foes
Texas Tech 66
Arizona 68
UTSA 91
Rice 120
So basically, we have 4 games where we should be big favorites (UTSA, Rice, Tulane, East Carolina), and the other 8 games are against halfway decent teams we are ranked higher than. We play no one in the Top 50.
