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.

I thought they should have gone for 2

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.
