Texas
Texas A&M
Texas Tech
Houston
SMU
TCU
Rice

UTEP needs a win over 1-10 Memphis next week

good showing, I think the only D-I teams not to get to 6 wins is Baylor & UNT (pseudo D-I but I have to count them)

SMU @ Rice next week will probably determine which one of those programs goes bowling, and which one stays home yet again.

dunno - might be a shortage of D-I six win teams ................ hopefully they all all get in a bowl game

Rice hasn't been to a bowl since 1961. I think it's time.

Phil Bennet has saved his job this year with the season the Ponies are having.

Yes he has. Great season. The SMU fan base was ready to cut his head off after losing to UNT, but he's turned it around since then.

USA Today has these projections for Texas Universities:

New Orleans: SMU vs. Middle Tennessee State
Armed Forces: TCU vs. UTEP
Texas: Texas Tech vs. Rice
Liberty: Houston vs. Alabama
Alamo: Texas A&M vs. Purdue
Fiesta: Texas vs. Boise State



ESPN has these:

Fiesta: Texas vs. Boise State
Alamo: Texas A&M vs. Purdue
Liberty: Houston vs. South Carolina
Texas: Texas Tech vs. Louisville
Armed Forces: TCU vs. Tulsa
New Orleans: UTEP vs. Middle Tennessee State

*** no Rice ***

I'd love to see the Tech/Louisville match-up. Don't know if the scoreboard has enough digits for that shoot-out.
