SMU vs last year's D1AA Champ

by **kent dorfman** » Sat Jan 31, 2009 2:33 am

Who wins? I wish the NCAA would start each season pitting the D1AA champion from the previous season against the worst team in D1A from last season. Now that would be twisted.

We wouldn't be in the game. As bad as we were last year, UNT was worse.

Why add to the misery and add another loss to the season

To make it even more interesting, consider what professional football (soccer) teams need to worry about in their elite European leagues. Teams can be promoted or demoted based on their performance.

They score 10 more a game and give up 20 less. They scored 37 more rushing touchdowns than we did. Maybe we can recruit their linemen and put their tailbacks with BLM.
