Committee will adjust their early rankings next year

I think you’ll see the committee adjust their early rankings prior to conference title games next year based on SOS. They’re learning with this first year and should adjust some philosophies. If they did this again, I think SMU would be below a number of SEC teams which makes it easier to keep a conference championship loser out of the playoffs. They put themselves in a corner due to where SMU was ranked prior to ACC championship game.
