Yea he has us at 10, nd at 9, and bama at 11. He says miami and bama we’re extremely close and miami and nd we’re also extremely close

He also has Ohio state at 2 and uga at 3.

I’ve been on the “they’re not letting us in” train but if McClintock has us getting in , that gives me some amount of hope
 
Honestly these are humans making the decisions - I hope the constant narrative that was on today by commentators that Miami deserves to be in over nd holds water for them.

Having a h2h over nd and beating the common opponent we have with bama in my opinion should put us at the seat of the table but we all know this committee has chosen to shaft miami so far.

ESPN and CBS's writers, and the betting markets are all predicting it'll be ND and Alabama, with no ACC teams getting in.

If they put a 5th SEC team (who has a common opponent with us) AND a team we beat over us, then playing the games truly means nothing.

Exactly. I keep seeing all these arguments about how keeping Bama out would end all conference championships going forward, as if they didn’t get blown out and have looked bad for weeks before that. Truly laughable.

Interesting, how accurate has he been over the past 4 weeks?

Last week he had bama at 10 when the committee flipped them to 9. He also had Texas behind Utah and Vandy even though Texas jumped them.

I think he’s really good at predicting on where the analytics say teams should be but he’s not necessarily accurate at predicting the human element in these discussions (who could be with this committee?)

Right. Which is why I still think they’re going to put us at #11. The two sacred cows win out.

Important to say the analytics/metrics specifically that the committee ACTUALLY uses. not whatever you just randomly find on espns rankings page.

It's obvious though that the committee can have 1 team up and down whenever they want with whatever bs reasoning they wanna make up.

At the end of the day Miami would need to get double ****ed to miss this playoff.
1. H2H to get completely devalued
2. First time ever a 3Loss team makes playoff.
