What's on the line
SMU comes off of its bye week wanting to get rid of the bad taste the Houston loss left in its mouth. A win would move the Mustangs to five wins, one away from bowl eligibility for the first time since 2012. Then, with five teams in the American Conference's West Division sitting at one league-play loss, a win over Cincinnati keep alive SMU's goal of winning the division.
