I’d put SMU ahead of Alabama.
#1 Oregon <— winner of #8 Penn State v #9 SMU
#2 Georgia <— winner of #7 Ohio State v #10 Alabama
#3 Boise <— winner of #6 Notre Dame v #11 South Carolina
#4 Arizona State <— winner of #5 Texas v #12 Clemson
#13 Syracuse first out. #14 Miami (Fl), #15 Indiana & #17 Tennessee didn’t play tough enough schedules. But the ESPN Invitational will want brand names over resume.
