2019 Week 10 SMU Mustangs Rankings

Main Poll Voters

User Rank Reason
hokies220 4 (Computer #4 Penn State) Ok. So. Since I won't put multiple teams in my top four the next few highest in points are left out right now sorry PSU and Bama. Then the next few after that all have losses so I had to go down and select the next highest rated undefeated team. **This doesn't mean I think SMU is currently the 4th best team.** They still have to play Navy and Memphis and Tulane and if they win those they'll get Cincinnati/UCF. Now if SMU wins out I'd be totally ok with them in the top 4.

T-Thugs 9 SMU is tricky to rank. Playing in the American, their schedule isn't awesome. However, they're undefeated and do have a nice win over TCU, who just beat Texas. Texas is Oklahoma's best win. I'm putting SMU one spot above Oklahoma

ACCBiggz 11 SMU would need a miracle to get to the CFP, but they have a top 10 finish in their sights with the remaining schedule they have. How they've played against this schedule has really hurt their ability to make jumps so they've been in this range for the past few weeks.

ttsci 12 The win over TCU looks even better after the Horned Frogs knocked off Texas this week. I'd like to see the Mustangs win a few more of their games by comfortable margins instead of single scores, but undefeated is undefeated.

_Brazenhead_ 19 Another example of the virtues of taking care of business. When compared to Cincinnati, they beat their common opponents slightly worse, so they were edged out for a higher ranking.

crownebeach 23 It's well known but bears repeating that the American is actually pretty awesome this year. SMU didn't play all that well this week, but in a weeknight game on the road with some bad weather, I get it.
stripes361 24 SMU struggled against a 3-5 Houston team which has some tough losses but also hasn't performed impressively in any of its wins (all against bottom feeder opponents). A ranked P5 program would get skewered for a result like this (or results like SMU's close calls against Arkansas State and Tulsa for that matter). There seems to be a weird pattern where G5 programs don't get enough credit for legitimately impressive performances against conference opponents (like SMU's and UCF's blowout wins over Temple) but also get too much credit for poor performances like this one. In the end, I still have SMU ranked below the human consensus but well above the Mustangs' 40th place rankings in FPI and SP+, so I am in fact giving them a solid amount of credit for their performances so far and based on eye test.
