If SMU gets booted from the playoffs,

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!!!!
Agree. SMU is in. The team in Tuscaloosa will be watching from home.

Bama got curb stomped by 3 TDS just a few weeks ago. Oklahoma was on their 6th, 7th, and 8th WRs. Let’s stop acting like that didn’t happen.

SMU should be in.
Doesn’t matter to me but if you were a coach ask yourself which team you’d rather play.

I'm sorry, but SMU doesn't deserve to be in the playoffs. Who have they beaten this year ? Alabama beat the SEC Champion. Alabama should be in over SMU.

Alabama is going to play in traffic after nobody stopped at the highway exit to give their groveling asses some change.

Burn in hell Alabama!!!

I get that, but if they only choose to penalize smu after saying these games wouldn't be penalized, they're liars.
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.

Smu sucks. The cross play into the SEC will be the death of them.

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 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!

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!!!
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.

Exactly. Bama didn’t lose a championship game they only lost to vandy, OU, and UT.
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!!!

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 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.
Ole Miss won’t jump Bama in the rankings either way.

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!
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 hope it doesn’t happen (Bama getting in) but never doubt Greg Sankey. He is not going to stomach 4 Big 10 teams getting in and the SEC only 3. I am certain he will be lobbying hard for Bama. We’ll see if the committee has the nads to resist. Should be interesting.

Does anyone honestly think SMU is better than Bama, Ole Miss, and South Carolina ?
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!

We want the best 12 teams in the playoff right ?

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.

Clemson was the ACC champion in 2022 and we were 3rd in the SEC and we beat them badly. Their 2023 champion, FSU, got beat 63-3 by the SEC runner up last hear. That means their champions got beat 94-17 in the post season the last two years vs teams that didn't win the SEC.

It's damaged their reputation to say the least. It didn't help that their champion this season got destroyed by the SEC champion this season and beat on their homefield by the 6th place SEC team.

Think of that. The 6th place team in the SEC defeated their champion, and people here want to leave out the 4th place SEC team that beat both teams that defeated the ACC champion, for the 2nd place ACC finisher who's best wins are vs a 4 loss Louisville team and a Pittsburgh team that lost their last 5 games.
