SMU failure on defense here.  Clemson getting a change to win on about a 55 yard field goal.

Bama the biggest SMU fans this side of Dallas. After hoping they got their brains kicked in the first half lol

[LamarCheeks 18,785]

SMU's poor kickoff coverage costly in this one. 

[RaceToTheTop 25,616]

Good.  Clemson wins.  What a meltdown by SMU.

[johnsoniu 6,406]

Bye bye bama

[tyappleg 3,085]

Night night Bama. 

[Hoosierfan1901 6,235]

Clemson wins it 

[Hovadipo 55,946]

Hi where do I sign up to play either one of these teams

[LamarCheeks 18,785]

Clemson beat SMU, but did this to 'Bama ...

SMU likely to be anxious but have to remember that they were three spots up on Alabama.  I don't see them going ahead of SMU.  

[RoadRage 1,775]

I bet we go to Texas!

[LamarCheeks 18,785]

Another big winner from tonight: Arizona State.

They go from barely getting in to probably getting a bye.

Imo this was the worst case scenario. Wouldn't be shocked if SMU stays in ahead of IU pushing IU to the last at large bid vs Alabama. The committee is not above doing whatever they feel like in the 11th hour.

41 yard kickoff return, 17 yard pass play, 55 yard field goal to win in 16 seconds, that was amazing!

[LamarCheeks 18,785]

Sean McDonough basically forcing a former 'Bama QB to say 'Bama shouldn't get in. 

McElroy's probably got his toes crossed. LOL!

Per the committee chair, nothing will change amongst teams that didn’t play. So Bama theoretically has no path to jump us, nor Miami over them. Well see if SMU drops a spot behind us or not…but they deserve to be in over Bama.

My prediction for Tuesday's CFP rankings:

1. Oregon
2. Georgia
3. Texas
4. Notre Dame
5. Penn State
6. Ohio State
7. Tennessee
8. Boise State
9. Indiana
10. SMU
11. Alabama
12. Arizona State
13. Miami
14. Ole Miss
15. South Carolina
16. Clemson
17. BYU
18. Iowa State
19. Missouri
20. Illinois
21. Army
22. Illinois
23. Syracuse
24. Colorado
25. Memphis

 

That would make the seeding:

1. Oregon
2. Georgia
3. Boise State
4. Arizona State
5. Texas
6. Notre Dame
7. Penn State
8. Ohio State
9. Tennessee
10. Indiana
11. SMU
12. Clemson

That would make the first round matchups:

12 Clemson at 5 Texas

11 SMU at 6 Notre Dame

10 Indiana at 7 Penn State

9 Tennessee at 8 Ohio State

Winner of Clemson/Texas plays at Arizona State

WInner of Notre Dame/SMU plays at Boise State

Winner of Indiana/Penn State plays at Georgia

Winner of Ohio State/ Tennessee play at Oregon

So what are the odds they have Alabama jump us so they can get Alabama in without bumping SMU?

The committee has flat out said that idle teams have no additional data points and would not exchange positions with each other.   I'm not sure why you keep being concerned about IU being in.
