If Clemson beats SMU does SMU still get in...

and if so at what seeding? That could really screw up the standings.

Yes, and we want them to. It would “screw up the standings” for one team: Alabama.

 

[C-south]

If Clemson blows them out they’ll try and justify kicking smu behind bama. If it’s a one score game they may still try and do it. It’s obvious they will do all they can to keep bama in.

I was just looking at the chaos if Clemson, UNLV, and Georgia win. Does Penn State drop below OSU if they lose? Where would Texas drop? Could not put Georgia behind them in the rankings.

I know I’m beating a dead horse here, but that’s all that matters to me. It infuriates me to no end how the Gumps can get even the slightest of a second chance to make a run. Take care of your sh*t during the season, why does that not seem to count for them in this scenario?

 

[BDHVOL]

No. I think they just showed us that the ACC is a one bid league by what they did to Miami.

 

[D-Vols]

SMU beats Clemson
Jawja beats the short horns

 

[stolitonic]

Don't see the ACC getting in more than one team regardless.

 

[VOLS INC.]

Not sure what seed. But if they keep it close and lose, I think they get in over the Bammers.

But who knows. If they want Bama in, Bama will get in.

 

[wmcovol]

I think if Clemson wins a close game, SMU gets in.

 

[VolCalls]

I think both are in if Clemson wins, unless it’s a 30-40 pt beatdown.

 

[Volinnooga]

I think if Clemson wins a close game, SMU gets in.

If Clemson wins, they won’t put SMU in over Bama.

yes. No way they bounce a one loss regular season team from the 12.

Clemson would probably end up being the 5th highest rank conference champ, so seeded 12th

If it knocks Bama out, I’m all for it

 

[C-south]

Clemson then would probably end up be the 5th highest rank conference champ, so seeded 12th

Which would be weird if they kept smu in and seeded higher.

 

[VolCalls]

If Clemson wins, they won’t put SMU in over Bama.

Yes they will. Committee chair basically said a team in the field currently who loses their CCG this weekend is not likely to drop out.

 

[bpalmer28]

It could go either way, but honestly I’d drop SMU below Bama because they haven’t beat anyone with more than 8 wins and if they lose to Clemson they will have proven that they can’t beat anyone with more than 8 wins. Bama has beat Georgia, Missouri, South Carolina, and LSU. All better than Clemson.

Pretty sure he didn’t say that

As of tonight the committee is saying SMU is better than bama. Regardless of outcome how could they be worse for having to play an extra game while bama sits at home?

 

[C-south]

Pretty sure he didn’t say that

He said conference championship games would be taken into high regard.

 

[WillisWG]

Which would be weird if they kept smu in and seeded higher.

It would indeed. It would be a hard decision to rank SMU above Bama after a L to Clemson. A loss probably means SMU is ranked no better than 12th, so basically out of the playoff picture

 

[BP4Prez]

There is less than zero chance they put SMU in over bama

 

[C-south]

After all they’ve said I’m not sure how they would justify it but I wouldn’t put it past them for sure.

 

[Carl Pickens]

I’d like to see what the spread would be of all the teams in the bracket head to head on a neutral site
