CFP Selection Watch

[SCarolina Ibis]

I felt really confident this time last week. But now.. I think the rankings will look exactly like they did on Tuesday, right down to having BYU ahead of us.

No ACC teams get in.

ND gets in "because" (they want them to).

If they can't/won't punish Alabama, how can they punish BYU? They have two "good" losses to the #4 team in their rankings and a win over #15.

This is the safest path for the committee. Protect Alabama and the SEC. Protect ND. ***** the ACC. ***** Miami.

Man, Heather Dinich looks a lot different without her makeup.

 

[Gi0logy]

Miami moves up in the polls passing BYU to officially become the……first team out.

Vegas already letting people place bets on matchups. Not looking great.

 

[305407cane]

I’m at the point where I think they throw the ACC a bone in the form of Duke of James Madison instead of dealing with us

 

[PBJFanatic]

The line is moving our way. Was +165 last night, +145 an hour ago, now down to +130.

That’s not enough movement.

I disagree. H2H is more important than the future of conf championships

Keep us updated if you can.

This is BY FAR the most important thing to watch. Last year, the final rankings leaked to the sportsbooks a little over an hour before the rankings show started. It's probably safe to assume that'll be the case this year too.

Look at the unprecedented things that could happen today.

-No teams make the playoff from a major power 4 conference (acc).

-A 3 loss team makes the playoff.

-A team that beats another team head to head and wins the 3 of 4 common opponents argument between the two gets left out.

The playoff committee is a fraud and joke.

If Bama was 9 and ND 10 then the committee ignored the direct next to each other H2H with us at 11

 

[Elmer Leghorn]

Leave out the G5 there’s no cinderella in football

Exactly. I think everybody would agree that Miami is better than James Madison and Tulane. Makes zero sense to have them in. Zero

Yeah that's not happening. No way Bama stays at #9 although I'd like to see it (because I don't think they'd leave ND at #10 and us at #11)

But even if they decided not to punish Bama, they would flip ND and Bama just to avoid rematches.

Bama just hands down shouldn’t be in. This isn’t that complicated. Us and ND should be in over them

 

[dccane06]

At least there won't be a camera showing our reaction. No team meeting while watching the show

 

[Brickell]

I don't understand why if the committee doesn't want to rock the boat too much - they just leave out ND.

Setting aside whether they deserve it over Bama, it's simpler and more justifiable. Who would really be upset if ND got jumped by us? Having no ACC teams just destroys the fragile coherence of the thing.

No. We will be ahead of BYU because the know it doesn't matter

Mario - "I feel like I'm in court, trying to defend a case that should've never even been brought to court if we were solely looking at the facts."

That sounds bad

 

[Empirical Cane]

Dinich has us OUT

 

[Empirical Cane]

That sounds bad

Not Mario's style.
