I'm very surprised by that too. Yes, they had a nice 11-3 record last year but also lost to all 3 P5 teams they played.

SMU's biggest weakness last season was rushing yards allowed, in all three P4

FPI has them at #25 (they have Utah at #27)

I would say the easiest path is to win all 5 of the top games and get 1 upset

I feel like FPI is normally reliable but BYU always gets underrated with that.

Definitely should add ASU to that list.

Hopefully ASU is a good shot at a win.

They were only 3-9 last year which included a 3 pt nailbiter win against Souther Utah so ...

Just looked at SMU's schedule and they will be in their 3rd week after a tune up

I could see us just winning the first six games

Just the first 6? I could see 3/3 or 4/2 for the last 6
