If they win out, it could be this year. (but not likely)
If they win out and get some good recruits in the off season, it could be next year.
Don't get too hung up on the past when looking at the college football poll future. There are a lot of politics involved in the votes that are cast in the assorted football polls. A big 12 school can get votes just by having a winning record. SMU needs a bunch of wins before they'll get votes. However, I believe that if SMU can win a bunch of games (8-9) they'll start getting some recognition.

You never know.

Yep, it is "recruiting" all of those Division I transfers that did it for them.
