That means SMU, UH and/or Rice (yes, Rice). Otherwise, the PAC might make a run at SMU, UH and/or Rice to get an entre into Dallas and Houston. So, I think Stallion is spot on. UT has a game against Oregon State. It should pound them. TT is playing today against Minnesota (a trap game for TT without a coach). Rice has a bowl game today as well.

Here's where all those same people say they totally agree with you and have thought the same all along

If we are in Death Match for final few slots in BCS consideration our best calling card is our Texas location, location, location. The better Texas teams do the better we look if we are among those suceeding. In the 1990s Florida kind of got that reputation and former Junior Colleges went from obscurity to consideration for BCS Conferences like USF and UCF. Unknown schools like Florida Atlantic and Florida International started brand new football programs and all of a sudden were in the discussion. SMU has the market (the Metroplex) but SMU also is in the recruiting goldmine that produces more Division 1A prospects than any other Metro area in the Country. I don't think we have any shot in the forseeable future at the PAC but if you think we have a shot at either the ACC or the PAC then being in a recognized recruiting goldmine is one of our best calling cards. The reputation of all Texas schools is enhanced nationally when SMU and Baylor run their opponents off the field in Bowl Games and A&M beats Alabama. 2 straight Heismans. Every Conference will want a piece of the Texas action-both TV market and recruiting market-and those are really the only strong cards we have to play
