NCAA hates SMU, c'ya

Ah, this takes me back to the 1980s. Powerhouse SMU gets the 'death penalty' in 1987. Well, it was a powerhouse in the early 80s anyway. It made me think of how they would've fared if there were a legit playoff back then. These games always excites and makes me wish I could borrow Stewie's time machine. DAMN.
