The author fundamentally doesn’t understand how the bowl system works but yeah. In 2019, anybody with a take can get published...

We have no room to complain. We were 3rd in a G5 division.

I'll take 3rd place as a top 25 team every season.

Would love to go 11-2 each year.
But I would like the losses to be to N.D and Oklahoma in out of conference.

Absolutely not. It sucks, but it is the reality in the current system. SMU, and the American, are going to have to earn respect, and unfortunately it is going to be a slow process. This season has been a great step for both, and hopefully we continue to build on it.

Let's play with a chip on our shoulder and score early and often so that people turn off their TV's. That will tell people in charge to schedule 10-2 teams in good bowl games. At least we're on ABC on Saturday and not ESPNU.

Aren't we playing against a 10-2 team?

I think we have a better matchup than Cincy does. Playing a 6-6 BC team doesn't exactly float my boat - and that is for the runner up in our conference.
