12 and Climbing ....

[ssvir]

If BYU wins this week and loses the Big 12 title game they’re not getting left out.

Same for Texas Tech ... lose the B12 title game to BYU and they both get in. Not punishing anyone for losing title game.

Same for UGA too - lose title game and end up with 3 losses but will be in. Need GT to beat them.

I like our chances provided we take care of business vs Pitt.

 

[LeanMeanOrangeGreen]

Don't think you are correct. They used the excuse that it's a four team pod so H2H amongst two teams isn't as important as "ND passes the eye test".

I don’t know how they make the final decision. Remember these are just rankings for now, not the teams they’re choosing and the seeding. It’s all hypothetical. The fact we keep moving up says the CFP wants to give us an opportunity. I’d like to think when the season ends, they look at all the At-large contenders and make the decision then, and that’s when they’ll actually consider the H2H matchup with us and ND. Idk if just putting us ahead of them now is how it’s supposed to work? It’s all confusing tbh

Think this is setting up for us to jump Bama if they struggle with Auburn. "18 to 12" move signifies we're a team everyone should be afraid of.

Bama could win 2-0 and they are in

12 and Stuck ....

Here’s where I think us vs ND only comes into play. Bama wins out, including the SECCG. BYU loses. That puts us at 11. Bama beats TAMU they’ll jump ND. Then ND slides to 10 us to 11. Then it becomes a very legitimate question. You can say ND is better for CFP ratings and such, but those early year OOC games are absolute cash cows. You put a team who lost a H2H in then you’ll see more teams go the IU, Ole Miss, Oregon routes.

I've got some real estate to sell you

 

[Tony4Canes]

Just ******* beat Pitt

 

[Pearson704]

We need to handle our business and play our best ball on Saturday.

 

[tdjones34]

The committee has now jumped us over 2 teams recently; Vandy and Utah. If we beat Pitt convincingly we could jump BYU next

We are jumping byu with a win
Just need 1 team to lose and that counts bama's 3rd loss in second title game

I think we only jump them if we can somehow get to #10.

If we jump them at #10 and #11 then they're getting eliminated and we're getting in. No way the committee does that.

They'll only let us jump ND if we're both safely in.

 

[Yoyo423]

We are jumping vandy with a win
Just need 1 team to lose and that counts mama's 3rd loss in second title game

Vandy? We're already ahead of vandy.

You mean BYU?

 

[tdjones34]

Vandy? We're already ahead of vandy.

You mean BYU?

Yes meant byu
Thanks

 

[TexasCane90]

We play another top 25 team to finish the season and a chance at a 4th (at the time) top 25 win

If we get left off with that resume I really can’t defend this committees approach… they really assumed we would **** ourselves out of the playoffs but we are still in range to jump teams to get in… auburn playing bama super close can be a “bad win”

 

[Cognizantphotos]

How is Bama still in?

Bama still has to beat auburn, and let’s say they do and make it into SEC ship game if they lose that they’re out anyways. We just need to worry about Miami and beating Pitt the **** up. The rest will fall into place.

 

[dk72]

Hunter is an idiot.

They said they compared us and head to head didn't matter.

Then dodged the question about WHY it didn't matter.

They're just doing what they want.

The committee makes up the rules and change the rules on the fly and on a whim, and they aren't beholden to anyone so they can get away with it

 

[Gables Canes]

Joel Galloway was so salty when they talked about comparing Miami to notre dame and kept saying we were only better week 1. He's too biased.

Joey Galloway almost jumped the set to knock out booger McFarland when booger said Miami deserves to get in over ND. Joey’s hatred for Miami is real. He was visibly shaking with anger and said Booger’s stance wasn’t reasonable.

I think we jump byu with a win. But that only puts us at 11. We need to get to 10. Who is the committtee going to bump to put us at 10? Bama? Lols

ND ain’t moving down.

at least part of it is elevating NDs resume. If miami actually isn't that good then there goes one of NDs "quality losses"

Saturday is an unofficial playoff game.

Every game since SMU has been a playoff game.
