And so it begins…..CFP rankings chat

Sarcasm. Lake (and I think D$) were trying to downplay how bad being in the ACC is for us because it’s an easier conference, but all that perception does is make it so you basically have to win the conference to have a shot.

It’s a ridiculous mindset, but extremely common in this fanbase, that basically we need to be perfect or we did it to ourselves, meanwhile other schools are totally fine to get the benefit of the doubt for ******* up just as badly as we do.

dont lose to **** conference teams in October/November yearly making it harder for yourself to get into the playoffs.

that ND team would be a double digit favorite against us if we played them tomorrow. we frankly got lucky CJ Carr was in his first start and not later in the year.

Right because nobody else in the rankings has two losses, plus both teams we lost to have winning records. One of them has a better record than us.

I hate Mario so much bruh. You know the conference doesn’t get the chances that others do. So we can’t play with good starts to the season

You know Miami doesn’t get the grace other programs do. So you can’t lose to fycking SMU and Syracuse.

We could have beat Notre Dame by more than what we did and make our other wins much more convincing. We let FSU close the score

This MF’er screws us every chance we get man

I guess you will never learn. SMU was the season. we didnt have a ranked team left post FSU. it wasnt an overly difficult finish. we flopped and flopped hard and are currently in a tailspin. we could win the next 4 and sneak in, but the chances of that are slim to none given our coaches lack of adjustments and now mounting injuries

What mounting injuries?

There are other scenarios but this is a straightforward one to me:

- GT loses to Georgia
- Louisville with no Isaac Brown and tricky schedule drops at least one
- Vandy loses to Auburn or @Tennessee
- 10-2 no conference title game Utah is not getting in over 10-2 Miami
- OU loses to either Bama, Mizzou or LSU
- Texas loses to either TAMU or @Georgia

Those are all pretty conservative picks. Vandy concerns me a little but is the SEC really going to go from 3 bids to 5 bids? Who is their best win?

The hard part is winning four straight. History and trajectory says we flop. I think the committee is baking that in. But if we’re sitting there at 10-2 with good wins, I’d be very surprised if we weren’t in.

Disagree here. These rankings show they dont respect the ACC. Highest ranked team is 14th. Look at Texas Tech with similar profiles to UVA, Ville and GT yet they are 6+ spots higher than any of the ACC teams. If Miami isnt in the championship game in a conference they view as the worst of the P5 how in the world are we getting in as an at large?
 
We need to be the biggest Pitt fans on earth their next two games. If, and this is a huge if, they won those two and we won out I have a hard time seeing us being left out. ND would have a third loss. GT would have a second. Oklahoma and Texas will both lose at least one the rest of the way, and I can’t see Louisville or UVA running the table. Pitt would probably go into that game as a top 12-15 team.

I’m kind of here too. Every year is different, of course. But just think about it for a second.

We went 10-2 last year, and finished 13th. This is while losing 2 of 3 to end the year, to two average teams, at best. No Charlotte obviously. And beating NO ONE remotely good. Our best win last year was Duke.

This year, at 10-2, we’d come in having won 4 straight, not losing 2 out of 3. We’d have 2 losses to a likely 10 win Louisville, by 3. And ~8 win SMU, in OT. With a win over a ~Top 6 ND.

I’m kind of with you. I think 10-2 and getting in is probably more likely than actually finishing 10-2. Hopefully we can see how it plays out if we get there.
