They are deserving. Bama is not. Any rational cfb fan knows this. If they do this teams will start refusing to play conference championships.

What makes SMU deserving? They've played one of the worst SOS in the country. They had a chance and failed (again) to get their first ranked win of the season tonight. Seems they can't beat ranked teams, but we're supposed to put them in the playoffs against ranked teams? Doesn't seem that deserving to me.

In this chart, SMU will fit in right above Miami with a SOS higher than 60, 0-2 vs ranked teams and 0 unranked losses.

The only argument people are making for SMU is an emotional argument because "they tried real hard" against the #17 team in the country.

That's why Alabama is ranked #11 instead of #4.

This isn't the 4 team playoff.

How could anyone see a team lose by 21 to a 6-6 team in Week 14, and think they are playoff worthy?

How could anyone argue that a team that lost to 6-6 Vandy and 6-6 Oklahoma is
Playoff worthy?

The only arguments for SMU are emotional ones.

They just lost to the #17 team in the country and it was the best team they played all year.

Because it's a shitty 12 team DEI playoff. The same reason you're sitting here trying to claim a team that played a SoS ranked over 80 and lost to the only 2 good teams it played should be in.

Can't lose to every ranked opponent you play and think you deserve a spot playing ranked opponents.

Why not? We give a spot to a G5.
