I'll guess that the Huskies fans who want to land in the ACC will be more for Pitt or don't care, while those that are more supportive of the NNBE will pull for SMU.

Just saw the BBVA CEO do a little promo greeting. Speaking rather slowly, I think either he has a slight speech impediment or he was trying to hide a non-American accent.

I'm going for SMU. I've always hated Pitt anyway though so it's nothing new.

I was originally thinking of rooting for Pitt since the BE gets stuck with their bowl record but given they are playing SMU, a future BE member, it seems more appropriate to root for the Mustangs. The BE is already guaranteed of having a winning bowl record this year anyways I suppose.

My thoughts exactly. Plus if SMU dominates it shows that the BE is bringing in 3 potentially dominant programs in SMU, Houston, and Boise and losing only one in WVU.

I would say that "potentially dominant" is a bit generous if SMU wins, given how mediocre Pitt has been for a while. Boise being called dominant, yes. Houston, not sure. Normally UH beating Penn state would be a huge deal but unfortunately not this year...

SMU and Houston have the potential to be dominant based on geography alone.

Boise , SMU and Houston may be looking pretty formidable for next year.

Except also, we just have to get better. With a few people catching passes, and not fumbling on key drives, I think we win three more games: Vandy, WMich, and Louisville. We were really close to an 8-4 season. And that was with virtually no QB play. So, I have to think we can play with these teams, with the reinforcements coming in by the day . . .

Pitt because at this moment they are members of our conference. However, I am really enjoying the public beating they are taking.
