McElroy argues that punishing SMU for participating in a conference championship could de-incentivize future participation in such games. SMU, currently ranked No. 8, faces Clemson, and a win for the Tigers could secure them a playoff spot, potentially pushing SMU out of the bracket.

Controversy Erupts Over BYU's Disrespectful CFP Ranking

The first College Football Playoff rankings for the new 12-team format have sparked controversy, as traditional powerhouse programs appear to receive preferential treatment over less established teams.
