AP #25: SMU

My bad, just saw on the ESPN site, thought they updated it.

[SMU1523]

I think you might accidentally be looking at last weeks. We are 25 in the Coaches Poll.

A big win with GameDay would be a HUGE way to shore up our reputation

[Puckhead48E]

We need the win against UH, followed by a solid win with sound fundamentals against UCONN, and we will really punch that consistency ticket with the media. A lot harder to ignore this team than last years when it comes to post-season considerations. This also means we have to show up big for Gameday...get that building full for the broadcast.

people need to start drinking at 7 am. get turnt for gameday and go home and nap until 4. Go straight to bar, consume more drinks and be nuts at the game.

Seth Davis ranting on Twitter about us being ranked even after our Cincy loss. He is such a hypocrite, voted SFA and Murray State this week. Seth can rant what he wants, AP thinks we are Top 25! Pony Up!

[LA_Mustang]

But SMU is getting a lot of love from others replying to his tweet.

[Mustangs35SMU]

Lost a ton of points from last week. Still deserved to be ranked. Well done.

We're pulling them up!! 2/10 Cincy at Temple will be a war. Final score in the 40's?

We are fortunate to still be ranked. But we deserve a break given the record and improvement this team has show. Two quality conference road wins helps.

Just depends if Temnple shoots well from the outside. Cinci's strength defensively is their interior defense. Temple will be happy to drive kick and shoot.

We scored a season high 84 in the last matchup and won by 31. Needless to say this will be a much closer game.

[Puckhead48E]

Think our home game on the 19th against Temple is going to be our most difficult remaining game. Need to keep playing 1 game at a time and let the results take us to as high a seed as we can get.

[SMU Spartan]

As many have iterated, all we need to do is keep winning.

This is true for any team, in any sport, in any league. Great post.
