Thanks, Mark. Appreciate the blurb.

"...Memphis now will enjoy a 2-week bye with a very real possibility that they will clinch the division before they ever play another game..."

But as a former statistics student, I would point out that even if SMU loses its next 2 games against UCF and Navy, they can still win the West.

Not likely, but mathematically possible. Not eliminated yet.

SMU would be 3-3 in the conference, coming in, and Memphis is 5-1. But SMU can still win...IF...

* SMU beats Memphis in Memphis...AND...

* SMU beats Tulane the nexrt week...AND...

* Memphis loses to ECU the next week.

SMU likely has to win 3 of its last 4 games (against UCF, at Navy, at Memphis, and Tulane), and definitely including beating Memphis. Unless Memphis can somehow lose to ECU at home. Then SMU only needs to beat Memphis plus one more.

"So, you're telling me there's a chance!"
