America’s "other" unbeaten college football team is enjoying itself immensely.

No, not Cincinnati, the other one, the one that doesn’t have a spot in the top 10 of the rankings, no shot at playing in the College Football Playoff, just a chance for a season that’s perfect in every way.

If the UTSA Roadrunners — the University of Texas at San Antonio — thought the only way things could get better than 10-0 was to go 11-0, they were wrong.

The only reason UTSA has gotten a little national attention within the sea of America’s college football programs these past few weeks is because the Roadrunners are, along with No.

"If you watch the games enough you’ve kind of figured out where we struggle at certain things," UTSA head coach Jeff Traylor told reporters.

There is nothing they can do to elevate much higher nationally — they’re ranked below three-loss Texas A&M in the Coaches Poll.

Amid the swath of college football matchups, many of which will have a greater impact on the rankings and the playoff picture, spare a little time to watch UTSA as they take on North Texas on the road and seek to complete an undefeated season.

As for committees, CFP commissioner Gary Barta accidentally referred to the school as USTA, the acronym for the United States Tennis Association, when justifying the decision to leave them off an earlier list, prompting Traylor and his team to release social media posts of players photoshopped onto tennis stars’ bodies.

There is a sense that the likable Traylor is doing it for the little guy, representing the mass of Texas high school coaches who know what they’re doing but never get the chance at a higher level.

His shot came late — he was still coaching high school until he turned 46 — before assisting at Texas, SMU and Arkansas, and then being named the head coach at UTSA.

They’re doing a good job of trying to build the program for the present and the future.
