Game Thread: Non-SEC Conference Championship Games (12/7/24)

[Krymsonman]

Right now, I'll pull for the SMU comeback.

 

[CrimsonTitles]

SMU is letting this game quite literally slip through their fingers with all these drops

 

[22Musso22]

1st down SMU!

 

[Krymsonman]

It's starting to look like we might see OT.

 

[KrAzY3]

If the game goes to OT and SMU still loses, that would have been the worst case scenario...

Edit: Although losing by 1 on a failed 2 point conversion would be about as bad.

 

[AlistarWills]

These qb's are terrible. Klubnick throws past a wide open guy to a guy covered up.

This sounds eerily familiar

I’m so sick of hearing win the games in front you. Yes that’s true. But give any of the top SEC teams SMU’s schedule and they’re undefeated with a season of blowout victories.

 

[rolltide_21]

Which basically means they're out.

Correct. Clemson is in (if they win) and SMU stays in and Bama drops to 12 is a plausible outcome. May not happen but could easily see that tomorrow.

 

[rtr90]

This is exactly what ACC wants close game

It will be easy for committee to drop Bama

 

[toliver2]

Just remember, this is all about money. Bama travels, bama is a bigger brand. Everyone will watch bama play because they want to see us lose. Who cares about watching smu/ Indiana play each other?

 

[RollTide_HTTR]

Come on SMU please punch this in and hang on for OT

 

[rolltide_21]

You can’t forget about the automatic qualifiers. #15 ASU is in

Yes that’s true too. I can see SMU falling all the way out losing to the #17 team. The comm. has already set the precedent dropping teams that lose outside the top 15

 

[B1GTide]

SMU has to win now or Alabama is out.

 

[Special K]

Good grief. SMU will probably score, go for 2 and miss it, lose by 1 and sneak into the CFP ahead of us.

Any chance the committee would say, "well, we know Clemson sucks, so I guess SMU sucks just as bad"?

honestly they should just go for 2

 

[CrimsonJazz]

SMU needs to score and go for 2. OT favors the deeper team and Clemson’s D will already be tired and on their heels.

 

[Power Eye]

My Alabama bias on the results of this game aside, these are not very good teams.

 

[CajunCrimson]

SMU is acting like they aren’t aware of the time left.

 

[smith5753]

I agree
