Depending on the situation, if we end up losing the western conference then only 6 conference games and 6 OOC, if we have western then the typical 8 conf and 4 OCC

After their season opener vs UO they played Northwestern State. Id rather see SMU schedule easy OOC games so rack up wins and give the players a chance to recover. We don't need to win amazing games OOC in the Big East, if you win the Big East you get to go to a BCS bowl.

Football season is a grind, and players need all the chances they can get to recover. We only need to win the Big East to get to a BCS Bowl. Don't have to invite every top team to Ford or run our players ragged running around the country every week.


Agreed. These teams realize that losing one game could take them out of NC consideration. Losing one game to a strong opponent can hurt a lot more than trouncing a weaker opponent.

COMPLETELY agree. Interesting that many here on PF do not.

Any news on A&M game? When will we know if it's for sure at Ford next year?

Also, I'd love to see our TCU game get moved to a Thurs night next year. Think that would be great for the program from an exposure standpoint.

The point writing this is not to refute your arguments. I already know that is a waste of time. It is so I can come back in a few years and quote this, while laughing at all of you for being too arrogant to be able to see whats coming. Good day.



Just thought I would bring this up. *Laughing out Loud*
