If you want to use JS as your arbiter, he ranks Bama as the 6th best team and SMU 10 or so. Additionally Jeff ranks LSU very high and Bama baot raced them on the road which gives them another W that is as good as anything SMU defeated (and by many more points and in a much more difficult environment).
Yes, I would put in both Ol Mkss and SC over SMU. Missouri is a more difficult case because of their QB. Hes been in and out of the lineup all year because of injuries. I think if it was between them I’d pick SMU because Missouri didn’t beat anyone either. They played MUCH more difficult schedules.
My point is you HAVE to best someone to gain entrance. Additionally, just watch the two teams. Does anyone really think SMU is a better team the. bama.
