JJ almost has as many wins against D-AA teams (5), as wins against teams with winning records (6).
Forget about our difficult OOC schedule, against C-USA & AAC conference mates with winning records, JJ is 3-19. We should aspire to be the UT of the non-BCS world. Can you imagine UT extending Mack Brown if he went 3-19 against B12 opponents with winning records?
3 Highest Quality Wins in JJ era: 2011 TCU, 2010 Tulsa & 2012 Tulsa.
JJ's 36 victories have come against teams with an average Sagarin ranking of #111. Here are the teams over the past 6 years ranked #111 by Sagarin: Maine, Central Michigan, Southern Utah, Pennsylvania, Weber State & Elon.
And last but not least. JJ is 3-2 against Rice. But when Rice has a winning record, we are 0-2 against them.
Still don't understand how the Fresno State W or Nevada W are not considered higher quality wins than the Tulsa wins. Makes me question using Sagarin for this sort of analysis.
I would rather beat a 6-6 Pitt team than a 7-5 Utep team regardless of what Sagarin says about their ranking.
It think he might be talking about regular season wins. We did not play Pitt during the regular season.
JJ has only defeated 5 teams with winning records (defeated Tulsa twice). 2 of those teams were bowl opponents Nevada and Fresno State, so yes, it includes ALL games SMU has played.
Very simply - TCU, Nevada, Fresno State, ECU, Tulsa, Tulsa.....that's it.
