Don't be surprised is going forward SMU becomes to class of the ACC. Back when it was illegal to pay players they were on their way to being a powerhouse because they were paying players. They have a crap-tonne of oil millionaire alums who (at least back in the 80s) were willing to fork out the dough to have a winning program. With NIL and the portal we could see a quick return to the pony express days.

Clemson is not a threat in the CFP. Would rather see then win and have Bama nudged out.

I am never pulling for Clemson, but if they win, and they surely can, it makes us looks better. It will be painful but if they win, they will get a spot in the top 12 that everyone knows should have been ours.

Everyone will know that.

SMU is grossly overrated, so we will see.

I can't get over how lucky those some-beeches are, playing in the EZZ, and with a chance to back into an auto bid.

Speaking of overrated, I expect UGA to beat Texas today.

The good thing is, Arizona State blew Iowa State out of the water in the big 12 championship game. So if Clemson were to win, they would not get a four seed because I don’t think they will jump Arizona state. Arizona State is already ranked ahead of them and won their conference championship gave him a blowout. Unless Clemson were to win by an even bigger blowout, which is unlikely.

I would be fine with Clemson getting in and getting bounced in the first round if it Alabama getting bumped out.

I wouldn’t bet on that if Clemson were to beat #8 smu handily. Clemson was just behind both those teams and would have beaten a much higher ranked team.

It's possible if they beat them badly enough, but they haven't done that to anyone this year, so I'm not super worried. I definitely don't think they have the horses to make any noise in the CFP and I'm still steamed about Bama getting such favorable treatment, so I just want them out.

Committee does, obviously, prioritize brand names and Clemson is more of one than ASU, so if Clemson does enough to make it a debate, they'd probably get the edge.

I get it, I was just saying. What I don’t understand is a 3 loss bama is a bubble team and it Georgia were to loss they are in by default.

Well if they don’t call those three linemen 5 yards downfield like that TD pass - SMU won’t have a chance. That was sooo obvious and no penalty

So is the ACC sold out ??
Looks that way so far - ACC wants the taters in - and also wants SMU in so they need to make sure the taters win so they are in automatically and then whine saying SMU deserves to be in with a 11-2 records

One of the commentators (maybe before the game?) said they think this is the best team SMU has played all year. That may be true. If this unfolds the way we don't want it to, does it suggest it is better to be in a weaker "P4" conference?
