Analysis: Top notch rankings across the board for the Mean Green, including two Top 20's. They've played more non-conf games than anyone, averaging 5 per year in the BCS era, mainly because they're in the Sun Belt (and were in the Big West). But they're scheduling less BCS teams nowadays, which isn't a positive development. Their usual fare is two to three BCS teams and one to two non-BCS teams.

Fact: North Texas' schedule with the good and the bad - their BCS and non-BCS opponents have average wins ranging all the way from 2 to 11 and 1 to 8, respectively.

Fact: 25 of North Texas' 27 BCS opponents earned votes in the coach's poll sometime in the previous five years. The only two that hadn't were Baylor in 2003 & 2004.

2008 Outlook: Nothing too easy - one of the most challenging of 2008 for the Mean Green this year. @ LSU is brutal, @ Kansas State won't be easy, @ Rice is winnable, and Tulsa at home might be tricky.
