And for the 7 ACC teams who can still make the conference championship game; we’re all about to clash with each other soon.

Pitt v GT
Duke v UVA
SMU v UL
Pitt v UM

I’m now less worried about us making it if we handle business as I am more intrigued if another ACC team gets in.

GT winning out then losing in the ACC championship game would make it dicey but not definitive to knock us out as in that scenario GT would’ve beat UGA.

I see more of the upside to get 3 than the chance of the conference getting 0.

there won't be three. They will be lucky to get 1

But again no matter what we are ranked and what the other ACC teams are ranked isn’t the conf.champs guaranteed to be in?

The 5 highest conference champion is in, lets say duke wins the ACC, USF wins the the AAC and JMU wins the sunbelt, if JMU and USF are ranked higher than they both get in as conference champions.

EITHER WAY WE ARE OUT. We are aiming at the 10# spot.

We need 5 of 6 of the following to lose 1 game:

ND, Texas, OU, Utah, BYU, Vandy

Not necessarily. Only the highest 5 rated champs get in. It could happen to any conference. I remember last season when the Big 12 had like 5 teams in the running last year there was some small talk of the AAC champ getting with Boise over the Big 12. Which is why I think we will get moved up ahead of say BYU or Utah if it comes down it.

I think we want Louisville to beat Clemson.

***** an ACC Championship birth. We want Louisville to remain ranked until they play SMU.

ending the season with the same amount of losses as Louisville is not a situation I want to be in, seeing as they likely wont win the ACC and therefore would have the same argument over us that we have over ND for an at large

Fair enough.

We aren’t getting in over Bama with the same record, need as many SEC teams to have 3 losses as possible.

We win out and we’re gucci. I doubt it'll come down to Miami and Bama on the outs again.

OU and UT go to 3 losses and they’re below us. Bama is unlikely to get to 3 losses unless they lose in the SEC championship game. GT is arguably just as hard of a matchup for UGA as UT is based on that game last year.

Not worried about Vandy. Even if Vandy beats Tennessee, that’ll knock Tennessee outta the top 25. They are not putting a 10-2 Vandy with no signature wins over a 10-2 Miami. If OU beats Bama and Bama stays ahead of us, that doesn’t affect anything because both of those teams are already ahead of us.

I can see the committee have us jump teams like Vandy, BYU and Utah if we win out even if they do as well. We saw it this week with us jumping 1 loss GT. That ND win would carry a lot of weight if they keep winning.

Yea until the ACCCG becomes realistic, #10 needs to be our goal. Root for MN(Oregon’s opponent), UGA, Bama, TCU and Baylor this week. Even close games for the last two. And I hope Mario gets out of his own ******* way and runs it up vs NcST.
