Posted: Fri Aug 29, 2008 3:54 pmMy guess is that it will be 39 games into the JJ era before SMU receives a vote in the AP Top 25 poll.
Posted: Fri Aug 29, 2008 3:59 pmHow about 25 in 25, though that makes it JJ's third season.

Posted: Fri Aug 29, 2008 4:06 pmThinking that it won't be until year two at a minimum for a bowl. Thinking 4-8 this year. Hope I am wrong but SMU is really deficient at several segments this year.

Looking at the last two seasons on the AP poll, this is what it took for a non-BCS team that was not in the preseason poll:
2006: Boise St (3-0), BYU (7-2), Hawaii (9-2)
2007: BYU (8-2), There were 3 non-BCS teams in the preseason poll, once out Boise St needed 7-1 to get back in.
So I would think that 9-2 should get us in.

10 victory season in two years with Top 20 by 2010, JJ's third season.

Vaulting our way to the top.
Posted: Fri Aug 29, 2008 5:44 pmAny visions of a top 25 wll take at least 4 years. JJ simply needs enough time to recruit the calibur of athletes necessary to achieve that standard. The 2009 recruiting class is exciting; but JJ needs at least 2 more classes that raise the bar to at least 4 star level skill position players. His ability to recruit will be somewhat proportional to success/wins. The quicker they start winning the sooner he can start attracting and competing for real talent.
