Bottom line: SMU is now officially out of our league. They have hundreds of millions of dollars in that program. Money wins now. Only money. They have it. Just a fact.    we need to move on and

I dislike SMU as much as the average UNT fan, but if they get left out, they’re getting screwed.  Nice reward for making the conference championship…getting left out of the playoff while Alabama sits

SMU’s playoff resume: - Zero wins against teams currently in the Top 25 - Opponents’ combined record of 75-68

We’ll see what the committee does

they kept the undefeated ACC champ out last year. 

I know there are 12 spots now, but I’m Not sure they would let a 2 loss team with the 75th toughest schedule and 0-2 against ranked teams in this year

They are currently ranked 8th.  How can you drop them 5 spots for losing the conference championship on a last second field goal?  Oh, I know.  Because there’s an SEC team needing the spot.

No if they get in with their resume vs Bama and their resume. Bama is getting screwed.

That was true last week, but they were ranked ahead of Bama and playing Clemson helped their strength of schedule.

If any team is punished for losing the conference championship on a last second field goal while another team is rewarded for not playing, the system is more screwed up than ever.

But it’s not about Bama. I might put Tennessee in over Bama and for sure SMU 

It’s about Bama because Bama is the team that’s going to get in at SMU’s expense.

Would you look at it the same if it we’re UNT instead of SMU?

I don’t know why bama would get in over Tennessee. Tennessee’s resume is better. And they have 2 losses. Like SMU. SMU made the conf championship yeah. But in a much easier conference with a much easier path. And Tennessee beat Bama.

We'll see what the committee does.  I am sure the SEC mafia will be putting a lot of pressure on them.

One thing we do know is that the ACC champ will not be one of the 4 teams to get a 1st-round bye in the playoff.

Tennessee and Bama are both getting in.  Tennessee is ranked 7th.

      Consistency and efficiency on offense if the biggest concern to me. And as mentioned no go-to shooter. We have long periods of stagnant offense. 10 passes around the horn to end up with a rushed unplanned shot is not a good offense. Multiple missed layups and free throws each game are also a concern. Fox Sports is launching a new post-season tourney this year. Thus, the NIT is changing it's selection process to combat it. (think more Brand name teams)... AI Overview Yes, the NIT is changing its selection process for the 2025 tournament, with the most significant change being the allocation of "exempt" bids to the top two non-NCAA Tournament teams from the ACC and SEC, essentially giving them automatic bids to counter the new College Basketball Crown tournament launched by Fox Sports; this change is primarily aimed at maintaining relevance in the evolving college basketball postseason landscape. Key points about the new NIT selection process: "Exempt" bids: 16 teams will receive "exempt" bids based on their ranking, with the ACC and SEC getting two automatic bids each. Power conference focus: The new format prioritizes the top non-NCAA Tournament teams from the major conferences, particularly the ACC and SEC, to compete with the College Basketball Crown. Response to competition: These changes are seen as a response to the new Fox Sports-backed tournament, which has secured deals with the Big Ten, Big 12, and Big East.

      That’s been the case at FBS…but FCS too?

      True, but the entire North Dakota population is 783,000, which is smaller than Fort Worth. Put a strong football team in Denton and we'll have advantages from being in DFW that are better than being the top school in a small state.

      We will always have to worry about TV viewership. TV dollars are the big divider between the haves and the have-nots.
