Even the SMU fans know that it should have been Alabama in this game. Playing close against a Clemson team which didn't even deserve to be in the playoff was not a valid excuse to let SMU slip in. Alabama can slug it out with the big boys, tiny private SMU just gets embarrassed on this stage.
SMU's only victory may be their ability to deplete Penn State of fireworks.
I'm pretty sure it was the Northwestern players that started all of this back in 2013 when they started to demand compensation. So yeah, the players are just as guilty.
