First team out in CFP rankings

[EastStang]

We’re sitting in a great spot 4 weeks out if we can beat BC.

100% agree, the teams ahead of us will beat each other up. Roll the next three then fight it out with Miami and I think we’re in if we give the U a great game.

Oh man don't remind me about last year's CFP ranking.

[indianmustang]

overall in twitter there is outrage as SMU is not ranked in top12

[leopold]

A fair ranking. That's all I ask for

[Terry Webster]

I am afraid that if we win out but lose to Miami in the ACC championship game, we will be left out.

completely agree unless it's a super close game - but even that might not be enough

[AusTxPony]

I am so proud of our coaches and players. #13, just wow!

[Water Pony]

Only thing the team should be focused on is beating Boston College.

However, we can be very proud of them and the coaches for the brilliant start to our inaugural year in the ACC.

Unlike last year and all years past, our destiny is in our hands. That's all we can ask for.

The chair of the committee was specifically asked that question and while not wanting to go on the record, he did say that if the game were competitive (not specifically us, but any of the teams that lost in the conf champ games, as that would give them one more game than the others) that would make a difference. Well see if that is true or not.

Go stangs, beat BC!

Leave the "Committee" no choice...
They will be doing ESPN's bidding...
Win everything
