Gonna really regret not pulling the trigger on this if that's case. Only concern was a close Clemson win which I read was the only way they keep Bama out & still put SMU in. Rn I'd still be nervous af if I bet this but I agree..Bama gets in.
SMU is in or else teams will start opting out of Conference Championship games if they are ranked in the top 12 already. Would set a terrible precedent if SMU is dropped.

Agreed..really should've gone for 2 despite the final outcome. Would've been harder to justify keeping them out based on a 50/50 play. They might still lose on a long FG but the fallacy of the predetermined outcome doesn't guarantee things would've played out the same way.

Playing and losing a conference game should be a non factor.
If presented a 1 loss SMU and a 3 loss ‘Bama - which would you take ? I’d give the edge to a 1 loss SMU - granted they played a lesser schedule - but I’d give it to them over ‘Bama.
