In UTSA's first season as a member of the Football Bowl Subdivision, the Roadrunners finished the regular season at 8-4, but were bowl ineligible since they played four FCS schools going 4-0, but only one of those wins counts towards bowl eligibility, so really the Roadrunners were 4-4 in the FBS.  The Roadrunners played against a “much easier” strength of schedule, meaning the Roadrunners strength of schedule was more than two standard deviation higher than the the "league" average strength of schedule.  UTSA's best regular season victory against in-state rival #99 ranked Texas State by a score of (38-31) and their worst loss was to #64 ranked Rice by a score of (14-34).  UTSA finished the season as the #84 ranked team overall, with the #102 ranked offense and the #40 ranked defense using the Complex Invasion College Football Production Model from the data provided from www.cfbstats.com.
