Seriously man, if your 0-4 with just 800 to spare in your only home game, you're not walking, your hanging on to the tightrope with your teeth. I think SMU is on the bubble, and UNT is worse off than that.

SMU isn't on the bubble... we only need 22,470 fans TOTAL for the last three games (7,490 avg).

The schools on the bubble are:
San Jose (11,360)
Middle Tenn (13,318)
Central Mich (15,255)
North Texas (15,803)
Ohio (16,077)
Eastern Mich (16,255)

everyone else is above 17K

Well of course you are using the "official attendance" figures, which rely on tickets sold, rather than actual attendance, which must be counted by one of the NCAA designated methods. To discount the accuracy of that official figure, all one would have to do at any given home game is survey the west stands. The "official attendance" was overstated at both games, but don't worry, like Mr. Hand advised Spicoli, I think SMU will "probably squeak by."
