11/8 Night Games

Texas has UGA and TAMU left. OU plays Bama next week. GT still plays UGA. All three are ahead of us. So you could theoretically have us at 13 if we win out. If we can get to 13 or 12, then H2H vs ND finally comes into play. How each of us plays Pitt will be crucial. If they hammer Pitt and we win an ugly squeaker, it won’t look good.

Honestly I’d rather miss the ACCCG and get the 11 seed or something.

Probably need to be 10
Acc champ and g5 would take out 11 and 12

But winning the ACCCG vs a rematch against SMU puts us at 4-seed in the CFP. An 11 seed goes on the road vs 2nd best SEC or Big Ten. No bueno

We have a shot to get in second...need a little help, but it looks more possible after today.

Miami wins out, Pitt beats GT, Duke beats UVA, Louisville loses to Clemson then beats SMU you’d have Duke as a one loss reg season champ, then Miami, Pitt, UVA, GT, SMU, Louisville if they don’t lose Friday, all tied for second with two losses. And honestly, that’s pretty freaking realistic.
 
We need basically 5 teams to take 1 more loss each in the next three games...and its actually possible. Then we need SMU to lose 1 more.

If nd and usf gets in then we’d one of the only teams to have beaten 2 teams in the playoffs. If we win out it would be really hard for us to not be neck and neck with nd.

Pitt is going beat ND next week. Last game of the season is a play-in like last year. It’ll be another opportunity for a ranked win and on the road. Wins over a ranked ND USF and Pitt we won’t be left out.

Two teams in front of us just lost and there will be more coming. Texas won’t be 11 for long and Oklahoma has an L on the way too.

Committee is going to have to admit that the ACC is a deep conference or go with a 9-3 SEC team maybe more than 1.

Duke will lose to their in-state rival Wake

SMU would get in. Their only ACC loss in your scenario would be vs Wake. They would play Duke in ACCCG

I agree, I’m saying there’s a very realistic path to 13 with no upsets happening. BYU and how far they fall Tuesday is the big question. If they fall to 13 and then lose the Big 12 title game that gets us to 12. Vandy still has to play UT which is not easy. That would be 11. Then it comes down to us and ND for the last spot.

If Louisville loses Friday and beats SMU, we would be right back in the thick of second place if we can win out. I’m not even going to attempt to understand the tiebreakers.

Getting to Charlotte would take a miracle. Our easiest path is Duke and SMU winning out and playing for the title. Only the winner gets in bc they both have 3+ losses. We’re sitting at home 10-2 with the best resume in the ACC.

Would likely need a little more help like a loss from ND, BYU, TT, Vandy, Utah, and the obvious teams who will definitely lose like Texas and OU.

What was the injury? Thought it was a concussion? If so, every doctor in Virginia will be forced to give him the green light asap.

By the time I turned it on, he was out. I didn’t see what the injury was.
