Looking at the 2021 pre and postseason rankings both squads were overachievers....

UConn - 2022 Preseason Rank 131
2021 CFN Preseason Rank: 129
2021 CFN Final Rank: 128

UMass - 2022 Preseason Rank 130
2021 CFN Preseason Rank: 130
2021 CFN Final Rank: 129

...setting up this year's tilt in November (scalpers should be making a killing)

Even ESPN the self-described 'leader in sports' has already weighed in on this year's tilt with their matchup predictor:

Utah State was a 24 point favorite at home vs. UConn.  UConn jumped out to a 14-0 lead, gave up 24 straight points but closed to within four points in the 4th quarter but couldn't overcome QB Zion Turner's sub .500 pct., 2 INTs.  Nathan Carter did rush for 190 yards for UConn.  Huskies even with the loss should move up the ranks (125?) after a fairly competitive road effort out in Logan, UT.

Let’s Gooooooo

Huge success. Hopefully they can get blown out by a respectable amount next week and keep the momentum going

Au contraire mon frère.  Next up for the Huskies is Central CT State and there's only one big dog in the nutmeg state:

Uconn  7
C Ct St 6

Closer drive from hard hittin' New Britain to the Rentsch than it is from Storrs to the Rentsch.

Home-field advantage for the Blue Devils.

Double cringe

Winning streak snapped at 1

2021:
Fresno St. 45; UConn O

2022:
UConn 19; Fresno St. 14

Huskies at 2-4, will probably lose to Ball St. BC and Liberty but should beat FIU, UMass and Army to finish at 5-7, just one game short of bowl eligibility and with that breaking into the Top 90, a vast improvement over 2021.   In 2023 there'll probably be many CFB roads going through Storrs, CT

UConn just beat a top 20 team, is now 6-5 and bowl eligible
