UH- Oregon

Rice–@ UCLA, @ Texas
Southern Miss– @ Alabama

Not many.

Marshall might beat Kansas State;
Tulane has a chance against Miss. State;
Memphis beat Mississippi last year and this year they are at home;
I think UTEP beats New Mexico.

Hey, don't forget...SMU@A&M. Will we win? Came close a couple of times post dp, but probably not this time. However, never say never...afterall, Baylor beat them.

SMU beating Baylor and/or TCU would go a long ways towards helping CUSA's credibility. Remember...most people think we may be the worst CUSA has to offer.
