12 and Climbing ....

No lube

I think we all knew the likely outcome weeks ago.

I just don't see us making ACC or playoff. Second year in a row. First out.

Is what it is

 

[AUcane]

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

Our only chance of making it is a convincing win at Pitt and either a bama loss or bama barely beats auburn and doesn’t play welll.

If things break our way then BYU winning the big12-cg knocks us out am gonna start doing strong drugs

Probably best with this fan base. A first round blow out loss to an Oregon and we would be all b@@@@@ anyway. Saves us the headache

 

[Pearson704]

Even if we were ranked ahead of ND we'd still have to win Saturday.

 

[FL Cane]

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

They are absolutely getting left out in that situation. They'd be 11-2, losing to the same team twice. One good win on the schedule. They'd be first or second out.

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.

Maybe. There’s game left to be played. Stanford is being run by a pro coach with ALuck in the building, yes their season is effectively over but I don’t see them just dying for ND. If the last time we see us and ND is us hammering Pitt and ND maybe playing with their food some, how does that change things?

I can understand why people say today ND is better than us. But we can erase that entire narrative by throttling Pitt. If we can hammer them, then we can point to look what we did to a team ND just played. Are we as far apart as some claim? Also, don’t let the weather factor not come into play. If we get to 10 we could play a road game vs someone with **** weather. Maybe Oregon, idk. The point is, if we can win convincingly in bad weather, vs a team ND just played, the conversation becomes A LOT more difficult.

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.

Fvck that OSU scumbag! Who gives a **** what he thinks

 

[Gi0logy]

We really needed Bama to beat Oklahoma.

 

[aelmiami]

What if we handle pitt and nd struggles with Stanford but wins.........

That’s my thing. Stanford doesn’t have to win. We beat Stanford what 42-7? During our doldrums. If that game is close, the talking point of ND controlling games, etc becomes less convincing. Just make the conversation difficult.

 

[ThomasM]

Saturday is an unofficial playoff game.

We don't do so well in those.

 

[canadacanes]

I hope that I’m wrong

 

[ssvir]

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.

If Bama loses in the SEC championship game they are definitely NOT out

 

[CaneinBroward]

God bless you guys who can watch that weekly playoff announcement show. I'd have so many holes to fill in my walls every time I hear a head-to-head win doesn't matter in a tiebreaker.

 

[tdjones34]

Oregon or Ole Miss could slip this week
ACC alive until it's not

Our only chance of making it is a convincing win at Pitt and either a bama loss or bama barely beats auburn and doesn’t play welll.

Someone else posted it but win vs Pitt, pass BYU. They lose CCG. Bama beats Auburn and wins SEC champ, passes ND to 9. ND vs. Miami 10/11, right next to each other there is no way they can avoid the H2H there. (Right?)

 

[scrantoncane]

We are in position. If one of bama, ole miss & Oklahoma don’t lose this weekend, combined with the ACC stuff and Oklahoma beating bama with a 4.8% PGWE, it’s just an all time bad beat.

All you can do is take care of Pitt and root for chaos. It hasn’t come in the past 2 weeks. This is cfb. We all know it’s due.

 

[Gables Canes]

Every game since SMU has been a playoff game.

LET IT RIP

 

[jps2344]

Look around at the schedules of the teams in front and around us. Then look at the opportunity we have this weekend.

Bottom line is you beat #22 Pitt on the road convincingly and we’re in.
