Moving up during bye is bueno

SMU at # 19 in USA Today Coaches Poll

AP voters barely put us behind previously unranked Baylor and Auburn after both had big wins. Coaches kept us barely ahead of them.

Just keep winning, Baylor and Auburn have more losses coming.

For the opponents we have played, we are getting some sound respect. It could be to juice the Houston and Cincy game but probably not. We've been opponents who have a combined record of 8-21 (only FBS). If we beat Tulane, that will be a 9-27 opponent record. Houston and Cincy are the only teams on our schedule who have good records.

Gotta root for everyone we've played including TCU.

CBS' new "Bottom 25" is out and we will be playing our 4th member of that select group Thursday night.

I've seen projections to #19 and I think that makes sense given our SoS so far and only moving up because of the top team losses. I could see getting as high as 17 due to the style points and prime time getting up 31-7 in the first half.
