Seeing as the Fightin Teachers played better at Arkansas State than SMU did, I looked up some of the other powerhouses that did what SMU (and admittedly Memphis too) couldn't, in topping Ark State:
* La-Monroe
* Middle Tennessee
* Troy (in a 27-0 shutout at ASU)
* Florida Atlantic
Ugh. Yes, they also gave Texas a game before losing. Still ugh.
