Coming off of a four game winning streak, Tulane will pack its bags for a trip to Florida Atlantic University with the hope of spoiling their Homecoming game.
Bulletin board material of the week? Tulane is a 4-point underdog to the 2-6 Florida Atlantic. Never fear. In the six wins this season thus far, the Green Wave has played as the dog 5 out of 6 times. The lone exception? The folks out in Vegas did have faith in the Wave to beat the subdivision Jackson State.
Here's the link roundup. Catch up on your Green Wave.
---
1. CBS Sports - Tulane is up to 46th in the latest BCS standings, making the Green Wave the highest performing team in C-USA thus far. If you put any value in that, both Rice and ECU are almost equally ranked going into Week 10.
2. The Advocate - The ongoing debate over the Tulane Legislative Scholarship program has now reached Ben Weiner Drive. The Advocate alleges that the baseball team, in particular, has feasted on these scholarships given by legislators across Louisiana.
3. ESPN College Football - ESPN continues to place Tulane in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl against UL-Lafayette. While worse snubs have happened, it seems unlikely that Tulane will crumble with FAU, UT-SA, and UTEP left on the schedule. The New Orleans Bowl is the lowest ranked bowl that C-USA currently is tied to.
4. USA Today Sports - In their re-rank of college football, they have elevated Tulane to 40th in the nation. The team was originally predicted to finish 109th on the year.
5. USA Today Sports - A second USA Today piece highlights Tulane and Duke as the "doormat" programs finally taking revenge on college football in 2013. Another nice profile for the squad.
6. Here's a fan video of the celebration after the Tulsa victory. I don't know that the sheer number of fans really reflect the team's progress yet, but the passion definitely seems to be picking up.
