RICE70
SMU2720

This game hit garbage time at Q4 11:57 — 24+ point lead, 20:00 or less remaining. The “real” score is frozen at the last genuinely competitive moment; it never changes any ranking or projection elsewhere on the site (see the Garbage Time Reality Check page for the full leaderboard).

TeamSuccess % (garbage-time-weighted)3rd Down % (garbage-time-weighted)Garbage Snaps / Total
RICE41.6%45.6%9 / 47
SMU51.9%76.3%8 / 47

Weighted splits count each garbage-time snap as 35% of a competitive one toward these rates, rather than excluding or fully counting it — see SITUATIONAL LINE above for this game's unweighted numbers.
