Polls are mostly educated guesswork at this time of year, and no, I haven't studied what many other teams added and lost from last year. But how cool would it be if we can get into the top 10!

Prediction: Beat Baylor, TCWho, and we will be 6 - 0 #10 going to Clemson.
May the forth be with us.

Youve got to admit when TCU and Baylor aren't even on the list, and SMU slots ahead of Texas Tech and Texas A&M, SMU has picked up a lot of respect very quickly.
