ESPN projects SMU to win conference USA

[Stallion]

CUSA could have one less bowl right with Army playing well. I think they take CUSA's spot in Armed Forces Bowl at Ford Stadium if they are bowl eligible-they are 3-1 now. Most of the Big 12 have winning records through creampuff part of non-conference schedule but if the Big 12 doesn't fill up bowls CUSA could end up in Dallas Football Classic against Big 10.

That would be 2nd best scenario to Memphis...

That is great, let's beat Rice first.

Here is Mark Schlabach's projection
Beef 'O' Brady's St. Petersburg
(Big East vs. C-USA) Northern Illinois vs. Southern Methodist

so, is he saying that he projects us to be the 3rd best team in CUSA?

What in the H3LL is the "Beef O Brad's Bowl? I would rather go to the "Poulan Weed Eater Bowl".

lol.....yeah, I was suppressing my own reaction. I guess, someone's gotta pay the bills.

I do not think they will put a west team in the St Pete bowl.

you're right. it's all about maximizing bodies.
hadn't thought about that.

[skyscraper]

If we don't win the conference, I think we'll stay local for a bowl this year.
Dunno why, I just have a feeling. Either the Dallas FB Classic or Armed Forces Bowl if a slot is available.

[LA_Mustang]

The biggest joke is they both have Baylor going to a bowl.....looking at their remaining schedule, the only game I can see them winning is at Colorado, which would make them 4-8

[Pony_Fan]

Beat Rice, Tulsa, houston, Tulane, etc....then we can talk.

One game at a time...tap the breaks!

its like everyone has forgotten we lost the game Friday - close dont get you nothing. Lets take care of business.

no one has forgotten about the loss. this discussion is about conference play, and we don't play ANYONE that is as good as the team that beat us on friday. if we play like we did against TCU for the rest of our games, we won't lose again. i don't believe that will happen, b/c our kids played up to TCU's level for as long as they could. but i think June & Co. will have them ready for the rest of the schedule.

considering our performance in our two losses to vastly superior teams, i'm pretty happy with where we are, and pretty confident that we can at least win the west. Houston will still be tough. very tough, but winnable.

Yes, we should beat Rice, but there have been other seasons when we should have won down there.

Let's get past the Owls before we worry about anything else.
