While the University of Texas San Antonio remains one of three unbeaten teams in the FBS, it will take a meteoric rise to sneak in to the College Football Playoffs. The Roadrunners haven’t been on the committee’s radar, but the upstart Group of Five squad can at least go 12-0 on Saturday.
UTSA head coach Jeff Traylor for the time being trolled the CFP committee for getting the school’s acronym wrong. Chair Gary Barta called it “USTA” instead of UTSA on Nov. 3..

The Roadrunners look to control its path to a 12-0 season for now against the North Texas Mean Green. Last season, the Roadrunners owned the Mean Green at the Alamo Dome.
The Mean Green could avenge last season’s loss, spoil UTSA’s perfect season and obtain a bowl game bid with a six win.
“I know they (UTSA) have a lot to be playing for being undefeated, and looking to go play in the conference championship and compete for one,” Mean Green head coach Seth Littrell sand according to KSAT.com. “We have a lot on the line, too, because one more win gets us bowl eligible and gives us an opportunity to win a bowl game. That’ll only make it more special.”
North Texas comes into the game on a four-game winning streak after a dismal 1-6 start to the season. The Mean Green thumped Florida International 49-7 last time out on Nov. 20.
