Yep, it would solve a lot of problems if SMU lost in ACCCG. Alabama would be gone first off. Then it would also mean SMU would be one of 3 teams we would face in Neyland. (SMU, Indiana, or Texas)Clemson could beat SMU and they would keep SMU in that situation. So that is a very likely scenario.
We want Oregon, Texas, Clemson, and UNLV to win this week. That would place the Big 12 as the 3 seed, Clemson as the 4 seed, and UNLV as the 12 seed. Alabama completely out. There is a chance we slide in front of Georgia and maybe even Penn State depending on how that game shakes out. If all that happens then it could look like this. So we could end up getting SMU at home and the Big 12 champ on a neutral field for a chance to go to the semis vs Texas/Penn State/IndianaYep, it would solve a lot of problems if SMU lost in ACCCG.

Hmm, we want Clemson to beat SMU.

And those teams have been dropping that much for lopsided games. Miami to their extent have lost close games. Miami is the easiest pick to make for final at large spot so the committee can avoid having to justify picking one of the 9-3 SEC teams that all have reasons to be picked over each other.Not happening. They’ve been dropping teams 6-8 spots after a 2nd loss. That means all the 3 loss SEC teams will probably be ahead of them.
You’re right it is an easy pick. Easiest pick is for Miami to be out. Miami has been getting down by multiple touchdowns in multiple games all season long. Their defense just isn’t going to do them any favors for the committee and their résumé just isn’t that good compared to Alabama and South Carolina. Not only will Miami not be the last team in, they won’t even be the first team out. They will be the second, possibly third team out. The SOR and the game control is ranked behind Alabama and South Carolina. Miami has zero argument. If they wanted to be in they should have beaten Syracuse. They could have lost to SMU and still been in after that.And those teams have been dropping that much for lopsided games. Miami to their extent have lost close games.
