More GREAT pub. for SMU

Had the folks at ESPN.com not wanted to spread the wealth, this weekend's schedule might have seen a pair of matchups featuring ranked teams -- Rice at Duke and SMU at Baylor. Both the Owls, who were off last week, and the Blue Devils, who took out their frustrations on Western Carolina, dropped out of the Bottom 10 this week.
As did SMU, which also took the week off after getting hammered by Texas Tech on Aug. 30. The Mustangs' game against Baylor on Saturday, which the Web site dubbed "the pillow fight of the week," will have major Bottom 10 implications. So will the Rice-Duke game, whose loser could very well find itself back in the Bottom 10.
