Led by Eric Dickerson and the Pony Express, SMU didn’t lose a game in 1982, but lost out on a national title to a 1-loss Penn State team. Can Rhett

People inside the College Football Playoff aren't happy that news of SMU edging Alabama went public before they made the announcement.

The spread opened at Penn State -8 but has since inched up to -9 in some spots and could steam up to the key number of -10 by kickoff. PSU’s moneyline dropped at -298 and is up to a high of -350, while SMU has improved from +240 to +270. The game total opened at 52.5 but that has since spiked to a high of 54.
