SMU still earning respect

Post by RedRiverPony »

After a tough win against SMU, Oklahoma actually fell from 18 to 19 in the AP poll.

Some of those voters have to be racing to get a seat on the Deion/Colorado hype train...

Did anyone hear Taylor McHargue the former Rice QB who was the color commentator on the ESPN broadcast and who appeared on 365 Sports yesterday? He raved about SMU. Said Stone was better than the OU quarterback and that we might run the table from here on out. He thinks that we are the Group of 5 team to watch and that if we were in the ACC this year we would be better than 5 or 6 current members. BTW this is why it is a good idea to schedule tough out of conference opponents. Our performance against OU raised more eyebrows in a loss than had we won a lopsided game against Sam Houston.

I doubt that 69-0 win will earn any respect. Only if/when this team beats TCU in Ft Worthless are people going to take notice. That 69-0 just puts SMU on more people's radar

Because we beat a team that UNT beat and an FCS team

This latest CBS ranking has SMU & TCU moving much closer together which seems appropriate to me
