I've been thinking about this game's importance for the past few weeks. There's a lot on the line.
Publicity: If we win, it'll be a coveted P5 win on TV on a Friday night.
Ranking: We probably get ranked afterwards as we are on the cusp of being ranked already.
Malik's Draft stock: We aren't going to have too many players hyped as a potential top 10 pick. This is huge for Malik and the program. This game is probably top 2 in importance this year for his draft stock.
Conference realignment: We're right in the thick of the AAC trying to add schools to their conference. We have been on the outside looking in. Does a huge win here get us closer to the inside of the conversation?
I'm sure there are a trillion other reasons that add to the importance. What do you guys think? Where does this game rank in importance so far in program history?
