It was strange that we were still being discussed as the smaller program if you listened to the tone of the surrounding commentary.

Can we stop with the "we were 12 point underdogs and we won, so we're good!"

So, we don’t know that yet, but that’s what I’m worried about to be honest.

Also, with this, apparently NIU is a playoff team

Reminds me a little of the victory over Arkansas last year

Beating any P4 team on the road is good. This team is better than they were in

Many of the same folks touting the great win as a 12 point dog were also the

The reality is we don't know how good/bad SMU is

I'm confident that their O Line sucks tho

We know they aren't the 11-2 team of last year that Vegas expected

MaximusMeridius

Sep 8, 10:49am

Vegas didn't expect them to be 11-2 this year either

Indy Coug

Sep 8, 10:54am

Well they expected them to beat BYU by 11 so...

We are not good we are great….likely conference champions…go cougars!

Ok we all agree to stop. We will not pound our chest on a sports message board

Our defense was surprisingly good. That's what won it.

Agreed. And if our offense was halfway decent I'd be pounding my chest too

MaximusMeridius

Also SMU money went heavy their way which skewed the line. Vegas odds are to split the money

I thought the line moved towards BYU

MaximusMeridius

Sep 8, 10:51am

Wyoming, Arizona, Kansas, and maybe Houston are games

cougarmikey

Sep 8, 8:56am

Kansas State didn’t look great and that’s a home game for us

BYU '80

Sep 8, 9:04am

It was very clear after the first quarter that we were not a 12 point underdog

bythenumbers

Sep 8, 9:05am

Exactly. It's a good win but we didn't just beat some amazing team

You're using stats from last year. Same problem as FPI and Vegas

MaximusMeridius

Sep 8, 10:54am

And…BYU 2024 ≠ BYU 2023. SMU didn’t lose much from last year and added some good transfers. So that’s the only way you

I don't think one poster said anything like that.

Sep 8, 9:24am

That's true if you just ignore all the posts saying this

MaximusMeridius

Receipts? I'll wait.

Maybe start with the post I linked 😂. Do you want me to spoon feed you???

MaximusMeridius

Sep 8, 3:01pm

So you didn't actually read the post you're referring to?

coug10278

Sep 8, 3:11pm

"SMU won 9 games in a row, scored 50+ points, we were 11 point underdogs"

MaximusMeridius

Sep 8, 4:54pm

You're OP doesn't nearly jive w/ what you think that post meant. Exaggeration...

There's a search feature if you're interested

You’re the one that made the accusation of chest beating posts…

Caring less is not the definition of what you're doing. Unless you're caring

Cool your jets. That post is 100% response to all of the negativity…

I don’t see anyone pounding their chests about this win.

Then this must be the only post you've looked at in 48 hours

I’ve read pretty much everything you have…
