Tulane in that year plus the next 2 are 32-10, with a 1-2 bowl record... the 3 years prior cajuns were 34-5 with 3 bowl wins.
Including 13-1 compared to 12-2 when they played usc (so just 11-2 when chosen)
Iowa state and Mizzou are both meh but a ranked win against a P4 for a program like ours is great regardless of who it is. All the cards fell right for us in 2020 and parlayed that into 2021. Had we beaten Texas to open the year who knows where our program would be right now. Obviously a ranked win over Texas while we are also ranked trumps anything we’ve ever done as a program. Mizzou has been quietly building since drinkowitz has been there and it wouldn’t surprise me if they were ranked around the 10-15 range when we play them. Having said that we won’t get many chances to jump the mwc or aac conference champs in the playoff race. It’s imperative that we steal on from Mizzou.
