SMU cant lose even 1 game & go to NY6 Bowl - gotta beat TCU

[PurplePimpleOozing]

Lose to TCU and NY 6 Bowl Game is out the window for this year......and that applies to any G5 team. A G5 teams must go 12-0 to get invited to a NY6 Bowl Game.

Soo...the TCU game is really really important for SMU. Cant lose it and still go to a Bigtime Bowl Game.

And....this is the toughest game on SMUs entire schedule this year.

Gotta win this game or its back to THE JOE's AUTO SHOP & TACO STAND MEMORIAL BOWL GAME vs Prairie View A&M - at the Frisco High School Football Stadium, with payouts to each team of $800 cash and 2 free tacos and one free auto tuneup coupon for each player.

Does this person go away after Saturday?

Lose to TCU ..

Cincy is on our schedule and MUCH HIGHER ranked than TxChristianU!

Does this person go away after Saturday?

Yes. But since you said that: 1)if we lose he'll taunt us for another week 2) if we win, he'll leave for good.

Not true, 2015 Houston lost to UConn and still won the Peach Bowl.

If we lose to TCU, but go undefeated in conference and win the championship, we'll still likely go to a New Years Day Bowl unless BYU continues to run the table. They have about 4 P5 games left on their schedule.

Kind of like how back in 2014, TCU lost 1 game all season and went to the Peach Bowl. Seems like a similar result from the Big 12 and the AAC.

I'm old enough to remember the time where SMU beat TCU in Ft. Worth and knocked them out of BCS championship sending the Frogs to the Poinsetta Bowl to play Sonny Dykes' Louisiana Tech team (a game that they barely won).

What BYU does is irrelevant to our postseason chances.

What TCU or SMU does is irrelevant to BCS Championship.

BCS Championship will include 4 of the following teams: Alabama, Oregon, Georgia, Ohio State, Clemson, Penn State or A&M.

Since neither SMU or TCU play any of these teams - what they do is irrelevant to who plays for National Championship.

A couple of posters have been loose with descriptions, but this thread in general is not talking about the 4-team playoff. It's about whether SMU can get into the G5 slot in the top-tier bowls.

Your correct - My mistake - I was not talking about one of the 30+ bowl games that does not impact the National Championship - the bowl game that the winner of the B12 will go - aka the leftovers bowl(s) that happens to be between Dec 30th and Jan 1st labeled NY6 - which are very different than the 10 other bowls not labeled NY6 that occur between Dec 30th and Jan 1.

And....this is the toughest game on SMUs entire schedule this year.

Luke Fickell would like to see you in his office. Bring something on which you can take notes.

Also, it's not the most important game to either team. Yes, we want to beat Froggy High, and the Frogs want to beat us. A lot of players know each other, bragging rights, etc.

But if the loser of this game runs through their respective conference, you can bet that Gary Patterson or Sonny Dykes would be ecstatic about that outcome.

I did not know they had basements in Ft. Worth?

I like this person.
