Well, we are not in the bottom 19. Tulane and Rice are.

I always wondered if Tulane's crop of Texans they got LAST year might be having a change of heart. I seem to recall we lost out on 2 or 3 2- to 3-star guys to Tulane...

NOTE:

2005 Schedule
CFN Prediction: 1-10
2005 Record: 5-6

How Syracuse is not that list is beyond me. They were awful and look to continue to be next year.

So, if I read this correct;y, we play at least 4 teams in the Bottom-19 in 2006.

Yep, Tulane, Rice, UNT and Arkansas St.

If we lose ANY of those 4 games...

In the immortal words of Elmer Fudd..."Kill da Wabbit, kill da WA-BIT!!"

Let's not put the cart before the horse. Unless, Phillips starts at QB we will have a starting QB that has not taken a Division 1-A snap. We have seen this far too often at SMU over the past decade. It does not usually make for a recipe for success in college football.

Personally, I find these bottomfeeder lists not worth the paper and the time that someone puts into writing them. SI's bottom 10 list tries (poorly) to inject humor into it, but it still is a poor attempt. The kids at these schools, most of them non bcs schools, work just as [deleted] much smaller budgets than the big schools, and these 'rankings' end up being more mean than anything else.

Add SHSU, and we have 5 that we MUST win.

So, even if we suck, we should be 5-7 next year. And I assume we DON'T suck that bad.

that's a good assumption.

We went .500 in conference last year. We should expect to do that well again. We play one I-AA team and two games against teams on this list from what is considered by any measure the worst conference in I-AA.

You can talk about lack of QB and holes at LB, but the fact is that with this schedule and 17 returning starters, seven wins minimum ought to be expected. I will personally be disappointed with anything less.

There is an old saying about people that assume....

good to see that they predict that ArkSt will be worse than last year

And I wouldn't want to risk playing Texas State either.
