SMU has a good offense but we match up well with them. They're erratic; beat good teams (Miami/Louisville) but lost to bad teams.

The Cats need redemption in San Diego because the Nebraska debacle was our last experience out there...

Hope we get a nice contingency of Wildcat fans in SoCal!

Why can't we play Notre Dame?

Why can't we play Notre Dame?

Because ND was butt hurt about being left out of the "Big" money.

Snob school right up the road from me.

I hate that K State and Iowa State turned down bowl games too.

Now there are two 5 win teams in bowl games.

What about those players? Especially the seniors?

SMU is before us. Let's get that 10th W!

Bear Down!

KSU and ISU both lost their coaches. If the staffs didn't also leave, assistants could take over. I understand their decisions, although you're right about the seniors (who will miss out on their final bowl opportunities).

Yes I was there for the massacre of Suh. This matchup may be competitive. I wanted a team like LSU as we will learn Nothing about our team in this matchup, but the likely outcome of playing a good game vs LSU would be losing players who prove they can hang with SEC level players to the portal.

At least vs SMU, as the last bowl game before the Final 4, there will be a spotlight on both schools as interesting options to consider transferring into instead of out of.

That said, I will be watching to see who opts out and "pre-transfers" before the game.

The Seniors are well compensated for their services rendered and should consider life after College Football if they aren't Pro Prospects (or find a Grad Transfer situation and not risk injury)

SMU beat Clemson by 11, who lost to LSU by 7. We indirectly have a 4 point margin of error, to beat LSU on January 2nd!
