would have to come from ACC/B1G/SEC.

Can those 3 gobble up 7 at large spots? I think ACC is cooked at 1 at large spot (could be 0). To get two at large spots means SMU is in (because they would have to be one of the three teams) (which further means our win over them is looking AWESOME).

So for us to not get in at 11-2 means BOTH the 4th place teams in the SEC and B1G (or the 5th place team in the SEC) gets in over us.

I just don't see it happening. Which is why the SEC and Big 10 are trying to expand the number of auto bids for their leagues.
