Clemson +19.5 is looking pretty good right now.
If Clemson can jump out to a good lead, they may have a chance. They will be looking for some payback from that blowout loss last year.
One of the criteria is % of bachelor degrees. I would assume we have a lot higher % of technical degrees in this area with all of the refineries. Most plants don't require a degree or only a 2 year associates so that would skew the numbers some.
At the other end of the spectrum, Beaumont, Texas, ranks as the least educated city in America, with one of the lowest percentages of bachelor’s degree holders as well as graduate or professional degree holders, and one of the lowest numbers of doctors per capita.

It's hard to compare Beaumont with San Antonio. UTSA is in a major city with no pro team and has over 30,000 students. Hiring Larry Coker didn't hurt either. UTSA will be a good mid major that big schools won't want to play as long as Coker is there.

Should be some decent games. Any upsets?
They were supposed to use turf this year but changed their minds. The grass was installed 35 days ago and hasn't taken yet. The Lamar game was ok, but Friday it rained 5"+ in College Station. That field was unplayable and not safe. It looked like some A&M players weren't going full speed and I can't blame them.
A&M won't play at home again for 4 weeks, so that should give the grass plenty of time. Hopefully the injuries last night weren't too serious.
