With wins over Memphis and Tulane, SMU is in the driver's seat in the American West. The Mustangs hold the tiebraker advantage over both schools.
However, if SMU loses to Memphis, it would put a halt to that. But the Mustangs could still advance under the right circumstances. If SMU loses Friday it would need Tulane to beat Houston and then lose to Navy; and Houston to beat Memphis. In that situation, SMU would once again hold the tie braker and advance to the conference title.
