As I said yesterday, going from 4 teams to 12 teams was a bit ambitious for the NCAA. SMU is completely and thoroughly outmatched on both sides of the ball, how they came back on Clemson is a head scratcher. If Coach Franklin keeps his foot on the pedal and runs the score up to sixty something to nothing I have to believe changes will be made next year. JMHO

I say keep it. Winning matters. Bama would be in if they beat Vanderbilt and/or Oklahoma. Remove as many subjective criteria as possible.

oof, good kick return. The kick was a line drive to the 6. PSU whiffed on a tackle at the 25, and he returned it to the SMU 47

Greg McElroy was awful last night. You’d have thought he went to ND with all the love he was professing.
Sean McDonough (sp?) took the cake last night. Because Indiana lost to ND (even though ND was supposed to win as the higher seed playing at home) he used that to declare the committee needs to stop considering the Big Ten better than the ACC or Big 12.

what's the point of a FG there...Hope SMU coach gets hammered for that just like IU coach di last night over the punt on 4th and 11 from mid field. Still down 4 scores.

Simple optics to make sure they don’t get shutout, and a little feel good confidence builder for his offensive unit..he probably figures they won’t get back there too
