If the 5 conference champs automatically get in how are they saying Miami gets in but the ACC champ wouldn’t.

I didn’t understand that..

I’m starting to lean that way as well.

I went scorched earth after SMU, as we all did. But after a day or so when I realized I’m, at times, a partially rational adult, I started to think:

Last year we finished 13th. With literally zero even decent wins. We beat nobody. And we were stumbling down the stretch. No Charlotte. 10-2.

This year, in theory, same record, same no Charlotte, but on a 4 game winning streak, losses to 2 programs with winning records, one who is ranked currently, and more importantly 2 wins over ranked teams, one in the top 10.

The 2025 resume, were we to finish 10-2, would be miles better than the 2024 resume at 10-2.

Doesn’t guarantee anything, every year is different, but we didn’t miss by much last year. I think this 10-2 resume has a real shot to get in.

One thing that’s kinda weird that I don’t get. We were +350 to make the playoffs this morning at DK. Now we’re +400. And I think we actually went up 1 spot higher than most thought. I don’t love that.

I’m confused, isn’t the ACC champ guaranteed a spot?

We're just a placeholder as the highest ranked ACC team. The ACC is so screwy that without a declared conference champion they have to put us in now despite our odds of actually winning the conference being very low.

Yea they are but since technically we are the highest ranked team and still alive for the ACC champ, we are in it as the "mock" acc champ

They are just going on their rankings. Only thing you need to really know is that they are saying one ACC team is getting in. They believe Miami is currently the best team in ACC, they aren't necessarily looking at who has the best chance of winning the conference.

But they said something about Miami getting in even though they might not even play in the ACCG

The interesting thing about Notre Dame is 5 games on their schedule are either against us or teams we've both played.

-Miami beat them head to head
-They beat NC State 36-7
-They play Pitt
-They play Syracuse
-They play Stanford

The committee could absolutely justify getting them in over us by using the scores of these games as a comparison. Miami needs to soundly beat NC State for a multitude of reasons, but certainly because ND torched them. It's honestly why Mario should have kept the starters in for the end of the Syracuse game. 38-3 looks way different. Conversely, if Notre Dame struggles with one of these teams for some reason I think that'll be huge.

They very well may. They struggled against BC who is god awful this year until like 3/4 way through the 3rd

Learned last year that deserve has nothing to do with this. I'm not making any proclamations, but UM still has a pulse. Let's see where we are in three weeks.

This a reality show. Literally. It’s absolutely influenced by ratings and draw.

But if you’re talking strictly about Miami, we were not deserving last year. And this isn’t an I hate Mario we suck everyone sucks we all deserve to die typical CIS mope comment. We literally didn’t beat a single good team last year. And lost 2 of 3 to finish. We didn’t have a good enough resume. The committee got it right when it came to Miami.
