Agree. SMU is in. The team in Tuscaloosa will be watching from home.the CFP needs to get rid of the human factor and let a ton of computers decide the teams. There is no way SMU doesn't deserve to be in the playoffs over Bama with two more wins and they way they competed vs Clemson! Bama got embarrased by OU and scored 3 pts two games ago. How could the KNUCKLEHEADS put Bama in over SMU should Clemson win the game???
Also, whoever said the championships game would be lackluster because of the playoffs following them is totally wrong! The last three games today have been some of the best football games of the season easily. It was a great day of football. Glad UT is still in it to win it!!!
GO VOLS!!!!
Yes, they are liars. I guarantee you they walk back on that statement. There were a lot of people that had a big problem with that statement, including people on the committee. They are going to penalize teams that lose in the championships, but SMU shouldn’t be. They played a great game. Better than Bama.I get that, but if they only choose to penalize smu after saying these games wouldn't be penalized, they're liars.
Smu sucks. The cross play into the SEC will be the death of them.the CFP needs to get rid of the human factor and let a ton of computers decide the teams. There is no way SMU doesn't deserve to be in the playoffs over Bama with two more wins and they way they competed vs Clemson! Bama got embarrased by OU and scored 3 pts two games ago.

I agree Clemson shoudn't get a first round bye! ASU and Boise should get the bye over Clemson. But, Clemson deserves to be in more than Bama, SMU too!Clemson getting in and having a first round bye with 3 losses in a weak conference just by beating a joke of a team is ridiculous.
Glad of it knocks Bama out but Clemson should not be in the playoffs
I don't recall them saying that at all. Just that people not playing couldn't improve or get worse in relation to each other.I believe they said the conference championships wouldn't penalize teams as well. I was under the impression the conference runners up in the Power 4 wouldn't be left out for losing unless they were totally embarrased or lost 3 or more games. Hell, Bama has 4 losses if they went to the confernce championship. Y'all can argue for Bama all you want. They don't deserve it, PERIOD!!!
Finally, someone with some sense posted in the thread I created! OU embarrased them. I don't care how weak of a schedule they played. I guarantee you SMU would give Bama all they wanted in a neutral game! All they would have to do is spy on Milroe to shut him down and keep them from rushing more than 150. Milroe isn't a good passing QB!!!Exactly. Bama didn’t lose a championship game they only lost to vandy, OU, and UT.
Dude, you need to quit drinking and go to bed! SMU was 1st place in the ACC this year! I agree with you I wouldn't like them in over UT with UT having 3 losses. But, if we got waxed by OU like Bama did. You can bet your ass the committee would leave us out. BUCK FAMA! They don't deserve **** over SMU! Neither does Ole Piss!I don't recall them saying that at all. Just that people not playing couldn't improve or get worse in relation to each other.
I think Ole Miss deserves it over Alabama, but all 3 loss SEC teams deserve it over SMU. If we're 9-3 next season, I don't want to hear about some 2 loss team that's best wins are over 4 and 5 loss teams, should be in over us.
There's zero logic that says SMU should have ever been ranked 8th in the playoff poll. They are a G5 team that lost two games.
Ole Miss won’t jump Bama in the rankings either way.I think Ole Miss should have the spot, but SMU doesn't deserve it. Their premier wins are vs a 4 loss Louisville team and a Pittsburgh team that ended the season on a 5 game losing streak.
Every 3 loss SEC contender would likely be 12-0 with their schedule and we know that Clemson got smoked by both SEC teams they played both at the beginning and end of the season.
I don't agree. We're a good team. Sure we might lose in the first round but we're capable of beating anybody anywhere.I’m afraid we ain’t gonna last long in the playoffs. These teams are playing lights out. The quarterbacks are playing awesome. I just hope we get somebody we can beat so we aren’t one and done. Go Vols!
It isn't about what anyone thinks. Would you want UT to get penalized for losing the SEC and having 3 losses? SMU shouldn't be penalized and be left out, period. Hell, it may could be argued that SMU played almost as tough of schedule as ND. Shouldn't ND with no conference affiliation be eliminated by losing to Northern Illinois? Many could argue that SMU played as tough of a schedule as ND!Does anyone honestly think SMU is better than Bama, Ole Miss, and South Carolina ?
We want the best 12 teams in the playoff right ?It isn't about what anyone thinks. Would you want UT to get penalized for losing the SEC and having 3 losses? SMU shouldn't be penalized and be left out, period. Hell, it may could be argued that SMU played almost as tough of schedule as ND. Shouldn't ND with no conference affiliation be eliminated by losing to Northern Illinois? Many could argue that SMU played as tough of a schedule as ND!
No, Clemson is 1st place in the ACC this year. The ACC is a G level league now. 1 bid. Their 13-0 champion got left out last year vs teams with losses.Dude, you need to quit drinking and go to bed! SMU was 1st place in the ACC this year! I agree with you I wouldn't like them in over UT with UT having 3 losses. But, if we got waxed by OU like Bama did. You can bet your ass the committee would leave us out. BUCK FAMA! They don't deserve **** over SMU! Neither does Ole Piss!
