Thoughts on the SMU game

Look at SMU's schedule and results this year-then let's revisit this.

You think a team composed mostly of guys who tranbsferred to SMU because they couldn't get on the field at those SEC schools is suddenly ready to contend in that conference? Come on now. Going into this game, we hadn't played anybody, they hadn't played anybody--and yes I'm including BYU in that statement. SMU certainly had better coaches and athletes than Pitt, game planned us and our simplistic offense well, knew we were weak in the trenches and elsewhere, knew we only have one real offensive weapon and he weighs 175 pounds, knew the LBs, corners and the back end of our D are suspect, and came out and shoved it up our a$$es from the opening snap on.

Point being, the fact that they beat the brakes off this Pitt team that featured most of the same guys on the field that went 3-9 last season doesn't mean they're ready to take on the big boys. BYU, Duke, Nevada and Louisville all agree. None of them are even remotely in that class.

Vanderbilt is 3-2.
LSU is 3-1
Tennessee is 4-1.

Those teams aren't exactly juggernauts either.

An SMU/Miami ACC Final will showcase the ACCs biggest problem

Two urban schools, really small enrollments and alumni base. Both had about 35K at their games this weekend. One though was a sellout, the other showcased the aqua colored seats in their stadium.

Though the U has somewhat a national name and following, it still lacks a large fanbase. That is why the ACC is 3rd in the TV pecking order compared to the SEC and Big 10.
