Sometimes breaking into the top 25 is the beginning of the fall.
I do not want to play SMU in a bowl. We just did that 2 years ago. Besides, Dykes would kick our ass. I don't want TCU either, not when the game will be played in their stadium, although that is where we got our best bowl win. Also, we've already played TCU in a bowl.
UNC in the Indy Bowl would be fine, as would playing a good Cincy team.
I honestly believe a game between us and smu would look very similar to 2 years ago. Their offense is solid but Buchele just doesn't strike me as anything beyond a serviceable qb, and their defense does not impress me in the slightest, not surprising with Dykes.
