Week 12 Non-SMU Games to Care About

Postby Dukie » Tue Nov 19, 2019 11:32 am

Others feel free to add to this list; here's mine in descending order of how much attention I will pay:

* Temple over Cincy. Yes, it would cause an AAC team to drop in the rankings, but it would leave the Owls alive for the AAC East, facing only UConn, and therefore make Cincy need a win at Memphis to make the championship game. And almost guarantee that the West champion would host the game.

* USF over Memphis. Pipe dream, but still a desired result.

* Utah State over Boise State. Less of a pipe dream, as USU is 6-4 and will be at home, and Boise was having to play their third-string QB last week.

* Texas State over App State. And we're back to pipe dreams. But would knock ASU out of relevance *and* burnish an SMU win.

The Memphis game has the potential to be a real trap game for them. USF has a little more under the hood than people think and CCS is going to be fighting for his job and the team a bowl. I expect Memphis to win, but it could definitely get interesting.

Would love to see UT beat Baylor.

Another meaningful game is HP v Magnolia. I want the Scots to win, but they better not end up with a huge rematch against Frisco Lone Star on Saturday next week at AT&T.

No way... if UT wins, they'll get idiotically ranked. I rather Baylor lose to someone else.

Can't believe Arkyland Vs LSU didn't make the list since so many sit on the edge of their seats with baited breath wondering how the Beloved Razorbacks will do with Ex-HCCM and QB Hicks no longer in the picture.

USF gave Cincy a scare and my guess is that will serve as a wake up call for Memphis. As for UT vs Baylor, we will find out whether Baylor is for real. Thought they were for a good part of their game vs OU last week

If Rayplor U never wins another game it would still be one too many. Even against ut I can't root for evil.

The enigmatic game of the week...is there a lesser of two evils?

Cincy had back to back scares. They almost lost to ECU and now USF. Going on the road to Memphis is going to get them a loss and a big one. I'll keep my opinion that SMU and Memphis already played the championship game.

Those that want to continue to pile on CM will be rooting for the Barry Lundy led Hogs to knock off LSU.

I would still like to see the video where he lost his ship while being fired and then I'll be satisfied and move on.
