Final Score“Real” Score (before garbage time)
UTEP2720
SMU4033

This game hit garbage time at Q4 2:58 — 12+ point lead, under 3:00 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).

SMU46.9%46.0%4 / 46

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.
