That is my thought, but I think it is the way to go. I wonder about all the "let down" stuff. All the games that are on tv make every game more special. However I do agree that this was a tough loss because of National impact. My reasoning is that Temple is 1-3 RF more than 7pts, 2-5 1st of BB away, and 1-6 vs <.250 opp (Playbook Ref). I believe Temple is ALL defense with very little offense. They actually rank 112th out 127 schools on offense. SMU has improved on offense at 58th. They tend to throw as their passing offense is 43rd. They have terrible defense though. Mainly versus the run. SMU is averaging 30.2 pts per game at home. Looking for them to stay with in the line.
TAKE: SMU +12.5
