Texas Tech wasnt expected to have a good year. Rice is part of our OOC most years. Then we had opening in the OOC when Boise wanted to move the game to another year and we filled it with an FCS team (PV). We were supposed to also play Vandy---and that match-up was exchanged for a game vs UConn. So our OOC schedule went from a pretty respectable OOC schedule to an exceedingly weak OOC. As far as the conference schedule goes---we have no power over it---but it happens this year we don't play Cinci or UCF. So---the our toughest games on paper are probably Memphis and SMU---and we get them both at home. Dana couldnt ask for a better hand----and yet I still see SMU as the most likely foe for Cinci in the CCG.

SMU May be the stronger squad but with Navy, Houston, Memphis and Cincy on the road.... we’ll that’s a tall order to be even 3-1. Houston could actually win out.... right into a championship game massacre.
