Absurd, ridiculous hypothetical
DISCLAIMER: this won't happen
If we ran the table and smoked everyone, and our conference and OOC foes turn out to be good, could we claim some Mythical National Championship? We would have an even better case if some lower seeded sleeper went all the way in the tournament. The parallel in football of course is the AP Poll not being beholden to the BCS Champ and having split championships, but I dont think the AP does a final poll in basketball after the tournament

I think if they win another AAC championship regular season championship that would be good. Just hope SMU is not totally forgotten about when March Madness comes.

You can claim whatever you want in this day and age. If we stramroll people, I'm all in for bold claims.

Use the A&M model to claim championships.

Of course we could, unless the NCAA champ ran the table as well.
I can see the t-shirt now:
NCAA CHAMPS*

We invented a Championship for Phil Bennett in 2005 and printed T-shirts-why not?
What was it the Texas Division 1A-II State Championship and the William P. Clements Texas Division 1A-II Championship Trophy

If SMU went undefeated their is a decent chance we would be the number 1 ranked team in the country going into the NCAA tournament. If some lesser team won the NCAA tournament SMU might finish ranked number one on the last ap poll.

It all sounds good to me!
I would love nothing better than to rub the NCAA's nose in it, leave them with a tainted champ.

If we win the AAc that should qualify us for National Champs. Why not?

Re: Absurd, ridiculous hypothetical
I like it East Coast - then Add to it by getting the Big Aussie to join us for 2016 and
we would have a year of success under our belt using Semi, Shake, Sed, Foster and
with Ben and Sterling coming back to help indoctrinate the two Aussie guards, we would
be a terror again in 2016/17. That should jumpstart a lot of gifted players to want to
come to SMU and be part of the successful avalanche in 2017.
