I wonder what the UH fan who posts as 20 or so SMU "fans" on these boards has to say about this?

Well, it will be funny if they lose to UNLV and finish 5-7.

(not holding my breath)

Well well, a team looking for a better opponents and not worse ones. Good for the school and good for the conference.

You should always want to okay better teams, and not cry about the schedule you have.

And honestly, if you're worried about going 5-7 instead of 6-6 becuase of a game like this, who gives a [deleted]. Bowls games mean about as much as an NBA team making the playoffs In the eastern conference right now.

You're the eastern conference right now?

Then what does it say about you if you are not in a bowl game?

This is good for them and very different than SMU last year. UH was right to get another FBS game because UH this year was looking at UTSA, 2 fcs teams, and the only foe in non-conference that wasn't FCS 2-3 years ago being BYU.

Good for them. We need the Coogs and our fellow AAC schools to win as much as possible.

If Hart does his job right we'll never have a problem like this.

As opposed to going 6-6 and not going to a bowl game because you can't count 2 FCS wins. Not much difference there.

Houston's FB schedule is a joke just like their school. They proved they were better than us last year by whipping our sorry asses, but if we had their schedule we would have won 7+ games as sorry as we were/are.

7+? Let's look at the UH schedule.

On both schedules last year
Rutgers- UH win SMU loss
Memphis - Both won
Temple - Both won
USF - Both won
UCF - both lost
Cinci - both lost

So that puts you at 3-3

Then get rid of the gimmes.
Southern? Win
BYU? Loss
Louisville? Loss
You can't play SMU so we'll sub UH which was a loss.

That puts you at 4-6 which kills your 7+ wins theory.

Then there's Rice and UTSA. Teams in a bad CUSA. Rice was the champ, had a 10 win season, and played both UH and aTm closer than SMU did. UTSA goes 7-5, but plays UH pretty close until a 4th quarter turnover fest turns it into a blowout. I'd say they would have been competitive against SMU at a minimum. SMU could win against both teams, but they could just as easily lose to both. So I'll split it as 1 win and 1 loss.

And that makes the record against UH's schedule the same as SMU had last year at 5-7. Maybe fewer blowouts. Maybe if everything goes your way 7-5. But definitely not 8 wins like UH had.

We lost to Rutgers by 3 points, lost to Cincy by 3 and lost to UCF by 4. Those games could have been won and I wouldn't immediately chalk up BYU as a loss.

We did lose to those teams regardless of what could have been. NTXCoog lays it out pretty well. Houston was better than us last year. They proved it with their record and head to head. We need to work to change that.
