SMU had beaten Clemson.

In fact, Alabama absolutely got destroyed by a mediocre Oklahoma team by 21, but that was not held against them.

SMU looks WAY better than BYU

I think we saw the result. They have a better O. We have a better D.

Yeah, lower SoS will do that

You’re likely right but Clemson isn’t great by any means

And they are going to the CFP… 🤮

They won their conference, what do you want?

Then we will have 10 teams from the SEC and B1G in the playoffs haha

BYU would have looked even better against that G6 SOS.

Not g5 esque. SOS is a bad metric

They had 8 wins because they were in the ACC.

I'llgive you a pass for saying that considering what happened to your team today

Why do HYPOTHETICAL wins count more than ACTUAL wins in this sport?

Title game loss. That’s the reason

BYU didn't get a chance for title game because of lame tiebreakers

One of the losses is head to head

And each lost to their conference champion.

Sure even if you lose head to head.

Not when you play in a weaker conference

The problem is how much can you really discipline a team for making the CCG?

The real problem is, no one is asking the question, why is the CFP Committee

Simple: more fans and money and voters on the east Coast!

Texas is the east coast now?

SMU is not on east coast, and BYU has a much larger fanbase

SMU has a very small, but rich, fanbase. Don't bring eyeballs like BYU.

That’s still dumb. Their only ranked win was in the CCG.
