I’m starting to think were actually going to win this mother ****** lol
If Bama wins out and Ohio State beats Whisky (both likely) AND we win our next two, there is no CREDIBLE scenario that keeps us out of the playoffs even if we lose the ACC Championship game. Only a blowout of us (not happening) raises any doubt. Worst case, it would be Bama, Clemson, Oklahoma, and us.
The committee will put us in for now, but if we lose I think they'll take some other 1 loss over us. They'll say we don't have enough quality wins or something. I wouldn't be surprised if VT and/or ND lose some more at which point, everybody will forget that they expected us to lose those games and how we overperformed.
Whatever. Nothing we can do but win them all and force them to respect us.
WHO is this one loss team in my scenario? It can only be Wisconsin. Are you really saying that a one loss Wisconsin coming off a championship game loss beats out us coming off a championship game loss? Come on it ain’t happening. Already the polls are showing there isn’t this strong bias against that many are referencing. The nation is embracing the Chain Gang.
You'd really be that surprised if the committee thought OSU or Auburn with 2 losses were better than 1 loss Miami? They would each have more "quality" wins than we would and people love that. Look at all the respect ND got for the Georgia loss...it was almost as good as a win. Depending on what happens, I can absolutely see a 2 loss team getting put ahead of us.
Whatever, lets see how this plays out.
since when is dan wolken credible?
if bama wins out --> eliminates UGA and Auburn
if ohio state wins out --> eliminates wisconsin (ohio state is eliminated already even with Big 10 championship game due to iowa loss.... exactly same scenario last year with penn state who won the big ten but got blown out by michigan and were left out)
would be
bama
oklahoma
clemson
Miami
no way a two loss team gets in over us, and i believe miami, clemson, and oklahoma would be the only one loss teams in this scenario
Ohio State’s AD and Clemson’s AD are on the 13 person selection committee. This is a conflict of interest and should never happen. They are suppose to objective but how is that possible?
