I’m obviously biased but I think there is a legit question as to whether SMU stays in the CFP if they lose to Clemson. They would have ZERO wins against teams that finished the season ranked at that point and two losses. Bama has already jumped Miami for basically the same reason. 

With that said, I’m not teams should be penalized if they lose in a conference championship game, as it relates to being in the CFP or not. Seeding may be affected, but other than an absolute dismantling, I can’t see penalizing someone for an extra game that they are playing only because they performed so well in the regular season.

Remember when Auburn was penalized for losing in the SEC championship game after beating Bama to get into the game then Bama went to the playoffs after Auburn lost in the game Bama didn't qualify for?

Clemson is in ok, but they'd much rather see Bama in over the losing SMU, SC or a Miami. I know it's about money, but there are a number of 2 loss teams that deserve it more than Bama does. It is what it is though. The CFP will never be like March Madness with its cinderallas and upsets. It'll always be SEC/Big 10 heavy with the other Power guys rounding it out plus one "other school" like Boise St every single damn year. But what really screws it up is Notre Dame. They don't play in a title game so they'll almost always have an "automatic bid" yearly with up to 2 losses. Stop being a fancy bitch and just go ACC football, you Irish dolts.

Based on what the committee has outlined and said….there shouldn’t be room to move a team that doesn’t play up.  Now you can move a team down by losing the championship but they have said you shouldn’t really be penalized for making it and losing.  So winners can go up.  SMU is at 8….so that would be a pretty big ding to drop them below Indiana, Bama, etc (who shouldn’t move)

I think Boise State might get dinged out in a loss.   But it would be essentially a one spot drop.  SMU would have a bigger drop.  

but who knows, they want Bama in. Bama got way more eyeballs interested than these small schools

ND has the worse loss off all these teams against Northern Illinois and they are probably going to be gifted the coveted 5 seed. An easy path to the semifinal.

    • Kalkbrenner and Sion James received regular contracts and not two ways, so the Hornets have some work to do to cut the roster size down. 
    • Gustavsson would be insane. I think we would have to break the bank to afford that move. Which, I don't think is necessarily a bad idea. Ultimately, Freddie isn't likely to be around more than a couple of seasons more. We can all agree that unless they have a fleet of sports psychologists working on Kochetkov, he will never be capable of getting his head on straight enough to compete.
    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
