Official: SMU vs UCF Pedictions

[ALEX LIFESON]

We can't have a repeat performance, of last years Homecoming meltdown. Golden Dossier open's as 13 point favorite.

SMU beats UCF 34-31 W...We fall apart early, and grind out the 4rth quarter for the win.

48-28 UCF.

They run the ball really well and are very balanced offensively. Defensively, they are stout. To win this, we need to be at least plus 2 in the TO column. I have no faith in our defense. We won't be able to wait til halftime to make adjustments, etc, and come storming back. They are too good and are NO Tulsa or Cincy. We will need pretty much everything to go our way and they will have to make tons of mistakes for this to be close. Probably the best team we'll face the rest of the year.

51-31 UCF. Our D is not gonna stop them enough to give the offense a chance.

Would love to be completely wrong.

As a fan: 63-56 SMU. Complete offense and no defense. Our offense is better than their defense. Our defense gets demolished but comes up with one stop to make the difference.

As a realist: I think having homefield advantage, being bowl eligible (taking the pressure off), we will compete but I think ultimately we aren't going to be able to match blow for blow: 56-42. UCF

SMU Mighty Mustangs. 45

Our defense plays the first half (unlike previous games) and Florida directional school canΓÇÖt keep up with our explosive offense.

Delta Tau Chi Spike's the defenses Gatorade cooler , they all play out of their bodies - Hicks yoga classes pay off and is 29 for 29.

The kicker sets a new NCAA field goal record and SMU wins by 1 with no time left........ laundry on the field. The referee announces that field goal has been reversed and points taken away because of excessive happiness.

37 36 Knights.

FYI they are no longer referred to as golden just the knights

I really want this one for the program, but I just don't see it. UCF is really good (probably top 10 good). It will take 50+ from the offense I think (we always struggle w/ option concepts on defense see: Navy and Memphis).

52-38 UCF

One side of the stadium will be full, the other...not so much.

That seems about right.

Can't see a win here. Are they TCU good? This is the way I like to watch a game, little hope that we will pull it off, so if we do it's a heck of a moment. (Houston 2016) I was barely able to be sober by the end of the last two, expecting blowout wins!

[SMU_Alum11]

I might be missing something but at least here's what I gather:

Sagarin:

UCF (#15) vs SMU @home (#48). They're still ahead of us but comforting thing is:

We played competitively which we all know rivalry games change the dynamic but #66 SMU took on #10 @home TCU, so anything is possible!

There might be something wrong with the site, but still nice to see:

Why are you posting inaccurate "Fake News" Sagarin Conference rankings again? The AAC West is not ranked ahead of the SEC East or Big 10 West or AAC Coastal like in your post. Come on man quit posting crap-for the 2nd week in a row. This is the original source link
