When they do this 10 years from now...SMU will be higher than 103.

Baylor has to be better than Houston
Well maybe.
And they cant be that close to SMU.
Since they play Rice I guess we will find out.
The Bears must win the Rice game to have any chance of 6 wins.

Baylor only beat SMU by 5 points 2 years ago...and it was a game SMU should have won, as the Mustangs led 23-14 going into the 4th quarter

Yes they can. This is over the last 10 years. Baylor should probably be lower, but thanks to the death penalty, everyone feels that SMU is more in the pits than most others. SMU's winning percentage is higher than BU's over the last 10 years. SMU has 11 more wins in that period.

yes, but Baylor plays in the B12 and SMU plays in Conference USA/WAC

you can't tell me that is worth at least 11 wins

[burnet44]

true but vs who the WAC?
Aint like SMU has been playing 8 Big 12 teams each year.
Their record may be better. But in reality baylor is a lot better.
Im sure they will play and SMU will win lol
My luck
