I’m just not seeing how getting an easy conference draw should be rewarded if you can’t beat the top of it


It won't be.

SMU avoided Clemson, Syracuse, Georgia Tech and Miami.

The first tough conference opponent they played had them down 17 at half. They lost to a B12 opponent at home.

Their biggest win was an overtime victory of Duke and a 7 point victory of Louisville.

They literally don't have the schedule to withstand a second loss. The same goes for Indiana but they did well to avoid playing a second tough team.

Easy money Alabama.

It would literally not make sense with how they ranked the last two weeks and how they bounced Miami.

Nobody in that committee thinks SMU is better than Miami. SMU just avoided Georgita Tech and Syracuse.

Bama vs Penn State or ND would be more than they could turn down.

The amount of people that would hate watch either of those matchups would be far more greater than anything SMU could bring in

Slightly off topic, but why is Notre Dame still allowed to participate and still aren’t part of a damn conference? If we are gonna have these oddly specific rules about conference championship winners then why aren’t they forced into one? Literally still being privileged because of their team history and legacy.

It is ridiculous that ESPN keeps her around just for the playoffs.

That would've been a trash playoffs. Yes let's give JSU a 9-4 G5 team a spot in the playoffs just so they could lose to Oregon by 40 points and call that an amazing playoff game even though no one would watch

Those bozos over on that sub are really something. People have this obsession with conference champions even if they are an unranked conference champ

Brooks enters the draft and adds a nice shout-out to Bama in his announcement

I've been saying , but maybe it's time to step out of the conference to get more recognition.

I think it would take a major brand to do so to realize... This is the way.
