Adam Grosbard, SMU football beat writer for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answered questions about the Mustangs and American Athletic Conference during a live chat Wednesday. Here are some highlights:
Question: Do you think it's possible for a non P5 school to ever make the CFB Playoff under its current format?
Grosbard: Yes I do, if that team schedules enough P5 competition in its nonconference slate. Houston beat Louisville and Oklahoma last season. If the Cougars had gone undefeated they would have an interesting argument for an opening. I don't think Houston would have been chosen, but a different team with similar circumstances and wins could break through down the road.
