So is the Orange and Cotton the semis?
Right but those aren't assigned based on the historical affiliations. It's just whatever is closest to the 1 seed goes to the 1 seed's side of the bracket. Meaning Oregon to Dallas.

What’s the best scenario?

SMU loses in OT, or SMU wins?

If SMU stalls out right here and the game ends at this score I don’t see how the committee can justify putting Bama in over them. Doesn’t mean they won’t but there’s really no justification outside of tv revenue they can even offer

SMU should just kick the field goal to make the score closer rather than risk losing by 7.


I kid.

This. If SMU barely loses it either kicks out Bama or forces the committee to admit openly they don’t give a shit who earned it or deserves it.
I would say right now even if this ACC title game ends with this result it may have accomplished this.

We know they will have no problem admitting this whole arrangement had one thing in mind:

Create a “B1G-SEC Challenge”, using geographic region rivalry as the basis of igniting fanbases to a much higher level of interest than simple bowl games ever could.

The 4 outsiders are nothing more than an annoyance that can try, but won’t, change that vision.

Alan was a 5-time (FIVE TIME) defensive player of the week. He wasn't some walk-on scrub, he was a star.

But he was getting beat like he stole something when the game was on the line, so Coach Yost put Petey in. He's better.

Except the computers ALSO say that Boise and SMU are fringe teams at best. You can't code SEC bias into the statistical models.

ND will be 7th seed. Play IU at home, then Georgia (w/o Beck) in second round. Fine with it
