Bro Arizona is God fucking awful.

Sagarin has us 4.5 better than Clemson. That isn't a toss up. I think the line being around a FG is fair. FPI and Sagarin actually both have Lousiville higher than Clemson. Clemson better hope they are better than they've been against our common opponents. Although I think SCAR is good and they played them well. SMU @ UL - 31-24 UL @ Clemson - 33-21 - Virginia @ Clemson - 31-48 SMU @ Virginia - 33-7 - Pitt @ SMU - 25-48 Clemson @ Pitt - 24-20 - Stanford @ Clemson - 14-40 SMU @ Stanford - 40-10 - Clemson @ FSU - 13-29 FSU @ SMU - 16-42

Please kick the absolute shit out of these condescending pricks, Texas. They have a little 5 year run and think that they are God's Gift all of a sudden.

That game was 21-14 at one point.

The more I think about it the more I think that SMU dog walks Clemson and a lot of this discussion is silly.

Agreed. It's a stupid fucking system that is already being exposed in its first year. Hopefully we can dial it in better in the coming years.

Do you need me to follow college football for you? No wonder the average take is such shit here - half of you don't do anything but watch Texas play.

Same record as this atrocious Cowboys team now.

Well. They used to. Now they wear that god awful yellow shit.

I watched some of that 2nd half and it was brutal. Feel like they were lazily playing for NBA Cup +/- after the game was virtually over.

And 5 fouls and 5 turnovers. Really poor night from him honestly. Branham with another DNP after 4 garbage mins against the Lakers. That nightmare might be over.

Lol everyone in the building knew KJ was missing one of those. Cannot believe we inbounded the ball to him. Fortunately they fucked up the rebound.

Wemby a lot for SAC to handle right now.

After a bunch of dogshit weeks my team has somehow put it back together. Just in time for the playoffs I guess. Also had a lot of good stuff on my bench.

Maybe after the game. Not after the rankings reveal. SMU needs to treat this like a ro16 playoff game. That's basically what it is. When you lose in the playoff you don't advance to the next round. 🤷‍♂️

Is that bad?

I will also say that I don't think we "deserve" a spot if we lose to Clemson - but I'm not the one making the call. I don't think #11 or #12 would be some heinous end of season ranking. I think we are better than Indiana and did more with our season than Bama - but I'm not going to cry if those 2 jump us.

That's pretty disrespectful unless you think the ACC is just total dogshit. GaTech didn't have any trouble hanging with a "top 10 team". Clemson lost but played a very good SCAR team about dead even. SMU beat #13 FPI Louisville on the road. Beat the dogshit out of #37 FPI TCU, #50 Cal and #51 Pitt - won a pretty tough game against #47 BC. The only WTF game was @Duke and they just finished 9-3. At some point you have to get credit for winning games. If you don't include Indiana getting molested in Columbus we've played a better schedule than they have. Sagarin - fwiw - doesn't have one team in the country giving a full TD against SMU. Ohio State and Georgia have fucked around and lost against worse teams than SMU. Notre Dame and PSU just straight up don't scare me. Need to back all of that up this weekend but I think we will. We're more dynamic than anyone Clemson has seen all season save maybe UGA - but I like our QB and skill position talent better. Clemson is a solid fuckin team though. Won't be a gimme. Also - SMU is better than it's season metrics. The team from the first 3 games where Preston Stone was trading series with Jennings is not the same team that we've seen against TCU and in the ACC.

All of this is easier of course if SMU fucks Clemson's shit up. I don't think Miami deserves an at-large. They played a relatively tame ACC slate and lost 2 of their 8 games and could have lost 2 more.

The format needs tweaking because if SMU wins we are the 3 seed - if we lose we potentially fall past 12. That doesn't make a ton of sense. If Clemson wins and BSU wins then BSU is the 3, the B12 winner likely gets the 4 seed and Clemson is maybe on the road to start their playoff? I guess it's just one season - maybe it will be a bit more clear cut going forward. The SEC and B12 eating themselves alive has made a lot of it weird.

If you add the o/u of both games and take the total score of all 4 teams it's probably close.

I'm not even sure Purdue should be a data point for them. Purdue would struggle to win 7 games against a good FCS slate. I also think SCAR should be in over Bama but it won't happen.

Love the Taaffe.

We'll see what the committee does but it's like that loss for tOSU didn't really matter.

I don't trust anyone against this D.
