1- I actually haven't watched live recently, but I don't remember them saying they "wouldn't punish"...but that they "value making it to the CCG and would take it into consideration with a loss"
2- again, I think it boils down to "resume"; while I would agree 10/2 > 9/3...the fact that both of SMUs losses would have been to #17 and #18 Clemson and BYU and no wins...whereas Bama has 3 losses, but wins over #5 Georgia and #12 South Carolina..
And I'm not arguing "for" Bama...I can just see the reasoning..I'd love to see them left out as much as anybody
