So, where does that leave us? SMU is in even if they lose to Clemson, which must win to get in.

Winner of Arizona State/Iowa State is in.

I'm looking right now at:

--ACC--
Clemson (assuming a win)
SMU

--B1G--
Oregon
Penn State
Ohio State
Indiana

--SEC--
Texas
Georgia
Tennessee

--BIG 12--
Arizona State or Iowa State

--MWC--
Boise State

--IND--
Notre Dame

Does this sound about right?

- There is no way Clemson should get in if they lose. Its a joke they even ndphysics 11:32am · 12/1/24
  - Exactly, I would be pissed.NT THEISMANCARR 1:46pm · 12/1/24
- Curious, how did they word that? NDNEIL 10:14am · 12/1/24
  - Exact wording "We will not ove⁰rly punish teams for losing in a Conference Championship game".NT Chrisb 11:20am · 12/1/24
    - Interesting. So they did leave themselves an out.NT NDNEIL 1:12pm · 12/1/24
      - Yeah, the interpretation I've heard is.. Chrisb 4:22pm · 12/1/24
  - They mentioned it on College Gameday a while back MarkHarman 11:09am · 12/1/24
- But they will. The money grab conference championships make zero sense w/ 12 team playoff. conorlarkin 9:06am · 12/1/24
  - Correct - get rid of them and the ND penalty Nigel Tufnel 11:18am · 12/1/24
  - Yes, the conference championship game will affect their seeding but not their participation MarkHarman 9:44am · 12/1/24
    - It needs to end. Makes no sense other than SEC/Big trying to stack the playoffs. LanceManion 11:57am · 12/1/24
    - Rewarding the winner is more equitable than punishing the loser.NT conorlarkin 9:47am · 12/1/24
      - But that may punish a team ‘already in’ if a team outside wins a conference championship ndinga 10:15am · 12/1/24
        
        I think there's some room for fluidity in these cases MarkHarman 11:12am · 12/1/24
        
        I say if you play the game, feel the consequences ndinga 10:18am · 12/1/24
        
        The flipside is that Notre Dame would not have finished 11-1 playing a conference schedule. conorlarkin 10:32am · 12/1/24
        
        Thank you, we actually agree on something. Not sure that has ever happened beforeNT WoodstockIrish 1:31pm · 12/1/24
        
        That depends ndinga 10:39am · 12/1/24
