"1. If you’re a purist, you may be appalled that SMU is bowl eligible. The Mustangs, 6-4, lost to Washington State. But SMU is Exhibit A why having 34 bowls is a good thing. The Mustangs went 1-11 in each of the past two seasons. They haven’t gone bowling in 25 years, two years before the death penalty. They’ve risen only to mediocrity but they still have a postseason goal. With former Hawaii coach June Jones in charge, the Mustangs are a natural for the Aloha Bowl."

Aloha Bowl?

Yeah, the old bowl game that died. It used to be played a day or two after the Oahu Bowl.

Yep, the Aloha Bowl. Was there in Dec. 1984 and watched SMU beat Notre Dame. Go Ponies

Pretty snarky. The Mustangs, 6-4, lost to Washington State and USC lost to Washington. Iowa lost to Northwestern. I guess those teams aren't bowl worthy either?

Call me crazy, but there is a chance for SMU to finish out the season 9-4, before a bowl. I think that makes them bowl worthy.
