SMU2720
UTEP5745

This game hit garbage time at Q3 10:18 — 30+ point lead after halftime. 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).

SMU29.3%26.0%13 / 44
UTEP27.3%0.0%19 / 48

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.
