Well, now, if we forget the OED and rely upon common pronunciation
(by no means a safe or sure guarantee of accuracy), then it is
smOOch; such at least is the way I heard it and pronounced it when I
was a young tad up in the great Northwest and the Snohomish river
valley.  So I guess I will stick with the Americanese I am familiar
and comfortable with.
