├óΓé¼┬ó SMU (5-1, 3-0 Conference USA) asserted itself as Houston's chief competitor in the conference with a 38-17 rout of UCF (3-3, 1-1), which came in allowing 17.6 points per game. Now perhaps they can take their budding rivalry to the Big East.

Good shout out. But "chief competitor"? Didn't we win the West last year? I think that would mean they are our chief competitor.

Well, they've got a 5 game win streak against us, and we only won the West by tiebreaker last year. Houston probably would have won the division if Keenum hadn't been hurt. What he said is definitely fair.

yes, but until we start beating them, they get to claim the top rung in that rivalry.

I like my technicality, as we are the western division champions argument better.

Yes, we lost to them last year and in the past.

Yes, they have dominated the rivalry (if we should call it that) lately.

But we are the defending western division champs. Don't forget it. Even if it was because a certain QB got hurt and it was all based off of tie-breakers. I still count it.

It would have been MUCH more prestigious if it had of been HOWIE Mandel with a shoutout!
