Adam McClintock - what's the verdict?

[NBCOwnsUs]

Did he have Bama jumping ND last week?

He did not. He was wrong about that but has been remarkably accurate overall.

 

[Handsome Squidbum]

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.

Doesn’t make sense to still have Miami behind ND.

 

[Canesq]

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.

I don’t get this. Any team on the bubble (8-10) shouldn’t feel safe.

When did the conference championship mean you could only move up if you win but nothing happens to you if you lose in embarrassing fashion?

 

[TexasCane90]

Heather Dinich is the one in the hotel with the committee and she has us out. So I would be shocked if we are in.

Building that drama

I still have trouble understanding whether she gets secret factual intel or she’s guessing

When you are asking ESPN…I’m sorry the Committee…to pick between us, Bama and ND. We will get the shaft. Hope I’m wrong but history is not on our side.

BAMA (3) losses sealed there fate ND lost HD HD Miami up #9 .

When looking at the committee I tried not to see politicians it was tough .

Politicians thrive on being compromised there conscience left years ago and has become wallets.

It will be a happy day !

Then we prove it was the right choice in winning

She’s probably just guessing mostly… she takes every word they say like the gospel even though it changes every week

 

[hasena75]

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.

most of the ESPN writers have Miami in
9 of the 12 have Miami in

I’m with you. I know what they should do, but the question comes out to…will they?

The only thing that cvnt gets is secret facials*

What about leaving out BYU? They lost in a conference championship and their only defeats have been to Tech.

 

[Rocketcitycane06]

It's us vs Bama. They want to see Jeremiah love and company in no matter what.

Agree 100% - his mod really values game control which ND is extremely strong at and per his model that’s enough to outweigh the h2h. Though he did say that this week it was extremely close.

The uga loss knocked bama’s control metric just enough this week to nudge them down below us.

The challenge I see is that these 3 teams are extremely close per the analytics and I’m nervous that the ppl in that room have narratives in their minds made up against Miami.

That’s why I’m hoping the bad showing by bama and the constant statements from tv personalities was enough to sway some minds.

 

[canefan96]

One issue I keep reading is about Champion Ship games and the teams that lose not being penalized.

BOTTOM LINE - THEN WIN THE GAME.

 

[GOCANES05]

Miami and TT are the (2) teams that nobody wants to play .
IMHO the two teams that will play with Passion in letting the CFB world know who we are the HATED and FEARED two most dangerous teams in CFB the establishment hates most .

Like the super Mario eyes we see here on CIS.

 

[305407cane]

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

It’s much easier for the establishment to ***** Miami. If you ***** Miami it’s the little ole ACC. Who cares. If you ***** bama you got the sec mob and sankey. Nd somehow has power even tho it’s NBC your tv rival.

 

[Canesrule230]

What’s frustrating about this is that we legitimately have the strongest case amongst the last 3 teams but are getting screwed over because they want certain brands in.

 

[F-MarioCristobal]

To be fair, I know we’re out, but they’re not giving away the entire hook of their stupid *** tv show 4 hours before it airs.
