... They would manufacture a way for SMU to win one of these next two games. The idea that the conference would not fill all its bowl tie-ins would be unacceptable.
Just sayin'

Which is why we will win one of these next 2 games. Houston most likely...the conference will want 1 of its members (especially a long term member and not Louisville or Rutg) to go to a BCS Bowl which is why I don't see UCF losing to us. We cannot lose a bowl berth to CUSA or the other G5 conferences

I'm pretty sure the SEC didn't make it's bowl allotment last year. May not this year, either.
Not with Florida stinking up the joint.

I guess we will need to see how favorable our officiating is on Friday to gauge if the AAC is thinking this way at all.

So, since you guys can't (and historically, usually don't) beat us head to head, you want the refs to hand a win to SMU.

We will beat you Friday. You can take that to the bank.

I'm concerned with two things:
1. I'd love to see our defense step up like they did in the USF game, or even better, like they did last year
2. QB situation
It's going to be tough.

Not sure how you can guarantee a road win over a comparable team with our starting QB and MVP doubtful to play

Comparable? UH is the better team. I think a win is certainly possible but let's not act like this is an otherwise even matchup. We're going to have to beat a better team on the road.

They didn't look so good vs. Cincinnati. I'm just saying I trust Neal Burcham as our Quarterback.

Well, neither did we...what's that? Can you hear it? I think we just left another 7 points on the field at Nippert Stadium.

anybody notice SMU actually has the better AAC record 4-2 to 4-3. Of course, UH has had much tougher schedule with UCF and Louisville already in the books
