4. SMU at North Texas
A revenge game for North Texas as they start a new era under Seth Littrell. SMU defeated the Mean Green 31-13 last year for one of their two wins in 2015. Chad Morris had an offense that could score last year for the Ponies, but the defense wasn’t up to par. This clash between two teams looking to bring new life to their programs will be big in recruiting in the North Texas area.

...and their #1 game has only one Texas team.

So does game 2 and 3

That has to be the stupidest list I've ever seen.  SFA versus Texas Tech?  Oklahoma versus Houston #1 with UCLA and Notre Dame in the state? 

The Top Five Should Be:
(1) Notre Dame at Texas
(2) UCLA at Texas A&M
(3) Oklahoma at Houston, some sort of kickoff game the SEC didn't participate in this year...because they are already in other kickoff games.
(4) SMU at North Texas, rivalry game
(5) New Mexico State at UTEP, rivalry game

There isn't much to choose from after you get past ND at Texas, and UCLA at A&M.  TCU and Baylor both host FCS...same as Texas Tech. 

If you are going to put an FCS versus Texas school team in there, why SFA?  They were 4-7 last year.  South Dakota State, which visits TCU, at least made the FCS playoffs last year.  Maybe...maybe they hold TCU under 40.  No way in Dante's Frozen Hell does SFA keep Tech under 50...what a yawner.

I think you're underestimating the importance of the OU vs Houston game. IMO, there's more interest in that game than UCLA vs A&M.

^^ No one cares about UCLA around here unless they're beating Texas.

Houston has to demonstrate why it deserves a Big 12 spot, and send a metaphorical message to OU about wanting to keep them out (whatever that rumor was that I don't care about).

SFA at Tech? Surely you jest.

I haven't looked, but I'll guess there isn't a sixth FBS game involving Texas schools the first weekend!

The OU-Houston game is a joke.  OU is double digit road favorite.  TV folk know it's going to be a blowout as well; that's why they stuck it in the 11 a.m. time slot.

Just think how high the game would be ranked if we could get rid of smoo and replace them with Western Michigan or South Alabama.
