It’s the most fascinating of the conference championships.
All of the others are for positioning except for the Big 12 Championship, and that doesn’t have the repercussions this one will.
Everything is cut-and-dry if SMU wins. It’ll be the 3, Boise State will be the 4, the Big 12 champion and Alabama will be the 11 and 12 in some form. Boom. But if Clemson wins, then comes the fight.
The Tigers would be the 12 – probably – unless the committee decides to put in SMU and leave out Alabama.
