Clemson makes the field goal, win 34-31.
I think that keeps SMU in the playoffs 🤷🏻
We all think it SHOULD keep them in the CFP. But we all know what is about to happen. Alabama can now claim they have a win over the SEC champs. That will be the main talking point from that sleaze bag from Michigan. Plus, we all know they want Notre Dame-Alabama.
 
Kirby sounds very WWE, doesn't he?! And he's lying, of course. They played 4 road games like everybody else.

I think he is claiming that Atlanta is a road game. It's a home game for Texas, I guess.
I think what he is saying is their road games were tougher than pretty much anyone, not the number of games because of course we all play the same amount home/away. Alabama, Ole Miss, and Texas on the road is a gauntlet.
 
Gonna be interesting to see how they sort through seeding tomorrow. Seeds 5-8 are going to be a hot topic of debate because Ohio State has a head to head over Penn State on the road, Texas’s only losses were to Georgia, Notre Dame overcame their horrible NIU loss. Penn State has the weakest argument of the bunch. You could really rank those teams anywhere in that group other than bumping Ohio State more than one spot, but I have no idea what they will value more.

As we all know, Alabama was destined to make this playoff. The committee just needed an excuse to put them in and now they have it. As for Tennessee, the Oregon-Penn State game started off well for us but they were too competitive for us to get a hosting spot. Ultimately, I still think we should be ranked ahead of both Ohio State and Penn State but what I think doesn’t matter. We have more of a gripe over Penn State than Ohio State, because Penn State’s best win is #21 Illinois while we have the #11 Alabama win. They may even decide to leave Penn State ahead of Ohio State due to Indiana being ranked 10th and not wanting a first round rematch from the regular season. Anyways, I think it will look something like this:

1 Oregon
2 Georgia
3 Boise State
4 Arizona State
5 Texas
6 Notre Dame
7 Ohio State
8 Penn State
9 Tennessee
10 Indiana
11 Alabama
12 Clemson
