T.M. Selection: Texas State (10* GAME OF WEEK).

Do I think that Texas State will upset BYU here? I do not. However, I think that the Bobcats have made significant strides from last year's team which went 3-9. BYU was 10-3 last year and it won this game 47-17, but I think it comes in a bit complacent and gets caught "looking past" its lowly non-conference opponent. The Mustangs lost their top WR from last year and their top two RB's. QB Shane Buechele is back under center for BYU and he's going to have a big game here, but there are some definite question marks on this offense that need to be worked out. And I think that's going to take a bit of time. Brady McBride is the new QB for Texas State and he'll benefit in having the team's top two WR's returning. Note as well that SMU is just 2-6 ATS in its last eight non-conference home games as a favorite of 21 points or more. I'm grabbing the points!

T.M. Prediction: 40-30 SMU.
