We are getting to the “I told you so” portion of the season but I don’t remember anyone being this bullish on SMU.
I do not think they are elite but they are one of just three Group of Five teams that are undefeated at this point of the season.
A loss to Tulsa seems unlikely so it looks like they can push that rock a little further up the mountain.
Tulsa Golden Hurricane
Tulsa is 2-2 and it breaks down pretty simply, they are 0-2 against the Power 5 and 2-0 against the Group of Five. Not much of a surprise.

Even with that split in terms of competition Tulsa has shown that this is not the explosive Tulsa team we might picture in our heads. They do not fling the ball around and score much.
The passing game is the strength of the team but I am not expecting a 4000-yard passer as we have seen in the past. I think there is a connection to the fact that they cannot run the ball well too. You just don’t have to respect them the way they used to.
At the same time, the defense has been better than expected. Their best result might he holding Oklahoma State to just 40 points in a loss. That team can really score.
This game might have been close to a pick’em coming into the season. Now Tulsa is a big underdog but it is justified.
SMU Mustangs
SMU was a nice story but they have really jumped up in attention after beating TCU a couple of weeks back.

To be clear they are not an elite team but they have beat every other team by at least a touchdown.
SMU’s success is being driven by their offense. They have scored at least 37 points in every game this season. They are really balanced too which is nice for continued success.
Transfer QB Shane Beuchele has fit in nicely. He is not mistake-free but he is playing better than he did at Texas and he completes a high percentage of his passes so he can keep his drives going.
The Mustangs are in a great spot to keep running their perfect record forward. They have back to back home games to fatten up on but they also have to stay focused.
They are not good enough to mail it in and win.

Free Week 6 NCAA Football Pick
It is hard not to like SMU taking on a Tulsa program that hasn’t risen up and bitten someone in a while. SMU looks better in all phases of the game right now.
4* Free NCAA Betting Pick: SMU -13
I like the break this one down as winning each half by a score. SMU can do that even if Beuchele is a little looser with the ball than I would like for an undefeated team.
I can see the total being in play here too. If Tulsa does give them a push it will because they get their offense going. That forces SMU to ratchet it up a bit more too.
