Ranked Undefeated Mid Majors. Essentially serves as an AAC prop piece, pretty good read. Even says we could get a team into the playoff: http://grantland.com/the-triangle/college-football-mid-majors-houston-memphis-toledo-temple/

Man I wish we were one of these undefeated teams.

If it's good for the American, it's good for us. Better opponents, better TV coverage, better attendance (???).

AAC attendance is up pretty significantly this year. Thought I saw a tweet from the AAC Football account a couple weeks back that said somewhere around 8% rise in attendance throughout the conference. If we can get the bigger stadiums to sell out regularly (Memphis, ECU, Temple) it can help prop up schools like Tulane and Tulsa who have small stadiums and smaller attendance

Temple has plenty of room for improvement. :-D

That being said there's legit buzz around Temple football for the first time in the 20 years I've been living in the greater Philly area. Even during their couple of good MAC runs they haven't had this kind of local media attention.
