For those University of Memphis football fans still reeling from last weekend’s thumping at the hands of UCF — and fretting a dangerous Arkansas State team Thursday — another 2-10 finish seems unlikely.

The remaining schedule is filled with struggling opposition.

Outside of Southern Miss, there are no teams with winning records among the nine left on the Tiger schedule. Three of the opponents — Marshall, Middle Tennessee and Rice — are 0-4. The overall record of the nine opponents remaining is 7-25.

CollegeFootballNews.com compiles a weekly ranking of the nation’s 119 Football Bowl Subdivision teams (yes, it’s the group formerly known as 1-A) and seven of the U of M’s remaining opponents rank 95th or lower. MTSU is 104th, Tulane 113th, Marshall 114th and Rice 118th.

The Tigers aren’t much better. They are listed this week at No. 100.

While the remaining schedule is far from attractive, it lends itself to a postseason run. If Memphis isn’t able to take advantage, there’ll be another uproar amongst Tiger fans who were loudly critical of last weekend’s 56-20 loss to UCF.
