Our "woe is me" non-conference opponents went an impressive 0-3 this week, including a home loss to Southern Utah.

SMU's Strength of Schedule according to Sagarin is diving at No. 80 in the Country meaning close to the bottom 1/3 in the Country. As I have said this ain't a tough schedule. Never was a tough schedule for a school allegedly "moving up to a BCS Conference." In fact I'll suggest that SMU has the EASIEST in conference schedule of ANY TEAM that has ever played in a BCS Conference because we ducked Louisville. We had the easiest route to the BCS ever with this schedule since we could have made a BCS Bowl without beating a team ranked in the Sagarin Top 25

Ha! I see LA Mustang made thge same argument about an hour ago

Where does our OOC strength of schedule stand? More important stat than overall. Probably still harder than UL, UC or UH. UCF may be the toughest in the AAC.

[Stallion]

The average rank of our non-conference opponents in Sagarin is 64.75 rounded to No. 65

[redpony]

but wait, wait! we played all those 'big' guys that used to be in our conference. Obviously, those who calculate those stats haven't talked to our AD/coach who thought our OOC was waYYYYYYYYYY too hard.

We were TCU's best game of the year for them...They have not put 40+ on anyone this year except SELA

OR maybe we're just that bad and they play in something called the Big XII.

Hate to tell you this. . . TCU didn't even put 40+ on SELA. . . TCU won 38-17

Wow so we were TCU's highest scoring game...48-17...jeez

[Stallion]

on the other hand we held A&M to its second lowest point total only 1 behind its lowest point total

LOL - that was a favor from Kevin Sumlin to June Jones. They could have scored 90 on us in all honesty.

Yeah, good thing Sumlin called off the dogs in what the second quarter? I wonder if he felt like the onside kick was a rhymes with tick move so eased off the throttle later.

SE Louisiana is ranked 38 spots higher than SMU in Sagarin and actually gave TCU a better game. Seriously, I'm not sure who SMU beats on TCU's schedule which actually is a Top 20 schedule. Kansas is the only team ranked below SMU on TCU's schedule at 112 while SMU is 110.

Wrong...whoever got to duck UCF has an easier schedule (38-35)

[Stallion]

we'll see-maybe-season not over. But Louisville is ranked 8 spots better in Sagarin. I know I'd rather play UCF at home than UCF and Louisville on the road like UH
