we can make a bcs bowl

[PonySnob]

Ain't gonna happen. Best we can hope for is a bowl. ANY bowl at this point.

Truth. We need a bowl game, even if it's 6-6 and that's kind of BS. Having 2-3 extra weeks of practice would be big for the returning players in 2014 and it keeps the momentum going. Hopefully the bowl game can be JJ's "swan song" and he'll ride off into the sunset after another triumph in Hawaii or Birmingham.

It's hard to say the extra weeks of practice really help except to get ready for the bowl game. We start every year the same way........

True, but hopefully next season we'll be starting with a new head coach. Also, it would be helpful if we have any early enrollees in the 2014 class so they could get some reps as well.

This is something we could think possible if the following scenario would have happened:

1) SMU beats Texas Tech 35-31
2) SMU beats down Montana State 42-10
3) SMU loses to Texas A&M by 1 touchdown (VERY IMPORTANT!)
4) SMU beats down TCU (41-20) (VERY IMPORTANT!!!!)
5) SMU beats down Rutgers 55-17
6) SMU Beats down Memphis (48-7 type win)
7) SMU beats down Temple
SMU beats Cincy
9) SMU beats down Conn
10) SMU beats down USF
11) SMU beats Houston
12) SMU beats UCF

Wait, that's SMU going 11-1!! That's SMU being coached by a Kirby Smart type coach!!!

THAT DID NOT HAPPEN...so there's no BCS Bowl

[Charleston Pony]

SMU would have to win out and everyone else would have to lose at least 2 conference games. If that happens...and this team goes on to win a BCS game, they will go down in history as the "Miracle Mustangs"

[TidePony]

I just want to beat Temple at this point!

[BigT3x]

I'm not sure that a 72-0 beatdown in front of millions would be the best thing for our program.

True, see the 2007 Hawaii Warriors (hey they were coached by June too). The money would be nice but everyone would remember that team for getting blown out and basically nothing else.

UPSET ALERT!!

FTHP has taken a major tumble in the Delusional PonyFan polls with this latest post!

This is what makes college football so exciting boys and girls.

Can we confirm it is actually FTHP and the account didn't get hacked? It's very important we keep the poll accurate

What's the current poll standing?

[CalallenStang]

In a Tie, they take the team with the highest BCS ranking. We have ZERO chance.

I'll correct this. In a tie, a "mini-conference" is set up between the tying teams and the head-to-head records between those teams is examined. For instance, if UL, RU, and SMU tie, this would be the result:

UL 1-0
RU 1-1
SMU 0-1

And UL would get the BCS bowl, even if RU had a higher BCS ranking. BCS ranking is applied as the tiebreaker criteria only after the mini-conference is used (for instance, if UL and SMU ended in a two-way tie, both would be 0-0 in the mini-conference, and so BCS ranking would be used)

this is why loserville and ru must lose again and we must win out.

Exposure, exposure, exposure. I would take being in a BCS bowl over the BBVA/Hawaii bowl any day.

[EastStang]

Let's beat Temple this week and then take it from there. Yes, we have an outside chance to win the conference.

[Nacho]

if we lose to temple we will have to rethink our bcs chances.
