Will they be ranked after they  kick TCU’s ass?

Yes. Has me wondering, our 2 losses are against what looks like a tough SMU and a solid rankee Cal team who just beat Ole Miss. Maybe UNT isn't that bad this year? I guess time will tell.

So if SMU is actually this good, and we just lost by 6 to a 4-0 Cal team who just won on the road against a good SEC team, maybe just maybe though of us (me being chief among them) who were crying that this team had no chance at a conference championship were way off? Hmm...

SMU/Cal look like tough games and we are already 1/3 of the way through the regular season.

2017's team that went 1-2 played a mediocre SMU team, and a solid Iowa team. Overall this years team and schedule is waaaaay better

Watching the SMU/TCU game.  SMU is legit, scoring 31 points in the first half against a pretty solid TCU defense.  Buechele is the real deal- don't forget he STARTED at UT as a TRUE freshman.  

If SMU gets to 4-0, they may crack the top 25.  Unbelievable what a bunch of P5 transfers can do...

Im like... 78% positive something shady is going on. Would not be remotely surprised to see them investigated by NCAA... Smu history has always been shady. And not one single school had near the p5 transfers they do

If SMU continues at this pace it will be interesting to see how many schools try and follow their "transfer" method

I hereby dub this the "hyundai method"

I’ve been chewing on this, but part of me wonders if SMU just lucked out. Aren’t transfers really tough to grade/predict?

Depends. If your transfers never played at P5s due to work ethic or attitude then why believe they'll be any better at a G5 school?SMU got a variety of transfers, several of which had injury issues which prevented them from playing previously. For SMU a few of their transfers were productive at their previous schools. 

Their QB transfer Bueschele was a starter at Texas for a year and some games so I think many expected him to play well at SMU. SMU also got Abercrumbia, a DT from Rice who was 3rd team all C-USA last year. Their linebacker McBride from Auburn played in the SEC but suffered a neck injury in 2018. He recorded a couple tackles in their SEC championship game against Georgia in 2017.

As much as I hate to see SMU do well at anything, this makes our loss to them look a lot better. If they end up ranked, it leaves a window for us to crack the top 25 by the end of the year if they and Cal stay good.

I can’t see any way that their success is good for us. 

SMU recruiting: We are a top 25 team 

 

UNT recruiting: Hey we lost to a Top 25 team! So there’s that...

Well let me put it another way, is it better for us to have lost to a good team or a shitty team? We got blown out by them and we cannot change that.

UNT always the brides maid never the bride. I’m even more upset NT didn’t play better. What a turn around Dykes has done to that program. They absolutely stunk last year.

      So sick of the crap this football program slings us

      State fans showed up because they rightfully expected to win in this game. If the AD thinks they're going to depend on people to show up just cause NT has a team there, they are dead wrong. There are a few, but there are many many more who will not show up when they don't think their team will win. There are too many obligations and opportunities to devote precious time and money watching a team lose.

      So sick of the crap this football program slings us

      After Morris and Sheffield transferred, how many here were actually expecting to win? Many of us were just hoping TXST didn't handle us like they did UTSA this year or Rice in last year's First Responder Bowl. Sure, it's the head coach's job to have his team ready to play and in position to win regardless of the adversity faced, but it's still incredible the performance Mestemaker had. Tonight was better than any game C. Morris has had since Memphis. Coastal Carolina lost their starting QB to the portal and got dog walked in their bowl game against UTSA in their own building. Yes, the loss increases our bowl futility streak to an active high, and it sucks to lose to an intrastate program in an inferior conference, but that shouldn't take away from Drew's game. The biggest disappointment to me was how badly we were outnumbered by TXST fans. We went from packing the lower level of the Cotton Bowl to being matched ON OUR OWN SIDE. Like our team, our fans also struggle to wear green. However, there should be optimism surrounding next season. Eric made a poor hire with his first DC obviously, but made the tough (but right) call in getting rid of him. Next year's presumed starter will be in his last year of eligibility, so no losing another 4000 yard passed before the bowl game. If we struggle to another 6/7-win season and bowl loss with next year's schedule, I think Eric's seat should be pretty hot again.

      So a lot of you think that NT is not deserving of your valuable fandom. I actually was proud of the team that continue to battle with a completely revamped lineup including a completely untested QB. Yeah and spare me the low expectations accusations that are usually leveled at anyone that dares to not rave and rant about a loss.

      Wow. Really? What an asshole. As far as Drew is concerned, four words come to mind: ”A Star is Born”
