Conference Championship Saturday

[SinisterCane]

I think if Bama wins this game, Miami is in. I’ve said it since Tuesday night. BYU loss and Bama win, Miami is in. I’m also ready to be laughed off the board for that take. But I’m 10 toes down.

All we need BYU to lose…… Miami is in

Ok, late to party & sorry if already discussed. So, we want Bama to win. Do we still have a chance if UGA wins or are we toast?

I'm still waiting on that answer. It seems there is more than one answer.

75 percent of McMurphys poll had Miami over ND for final spot....common sense may rule the day

 

[TXCane20]

Now... if Kirk and Fowler start pumping Miami > ND on THIS broadcast with millions watching, then we really know we're cooking.

 

[YankeesCane]

Who the heck does Heather Dinich this she is?

She basically said if Duke wins, James Madison gets in and its "sorry Miami".

How can someone, a person and a network, get to a point where they are so cavalier about whats right, that they completely disregard rational thought, and furthermore discard a team and its players who work so hard in the heat, gym, otherwise that the basis of beating a team is deemed worthless

ESPN, Dinich, all of them are like modern day news, say it enough and it becomes the truth

ESPN has to fulfill their self serving narrative

You don’t think a close bama loss would buffer both them and notre dame?

 

[section9]

I didn’t know that UGA was only a slight favorite. The game is essentially pick’em.

 

[YLCANE]

Not sure why we want Duke to win, if they win JMU will get in.

Because if duke wins
They are t going to playoffs and a power 4 conf (acc) would not have a team representing them which then may force committee to put Miami in as at large

Or not. This committee BS is criminal.

 

[OrangeBowlMagic]

I have thought the same thing about Bama winning to prevent the buffer. But since there is no actual reranking prior to the official release of the bracket, that doesn’t really matter. They won’t have to even put something like that out. They could theoretically just drop OU and have them appear to have been the buffer.

What? A bracket is released via the rankings. None of what you said is correct.

 

[bacane]

LMAO!!!!!!!! Go have your own tourney

So, Bama has the biggest win of anyone having beaten Georgia. Got it. And 4-5 SEC teams isn’t enough. This glutton wants 7. ****, just put P5, Big Ten rep, Big 12, ND, maybe ACC & 9 SEC teams.

 

[YankeesCane]

and BYU proved today that the "committee" knows crap

We all knew on this freaking board they are cheeks but we have to indulge the media and listen to how they're a good team

The same can be said for Oklahoma, Alabama, Texas AM and how Notre Dame boosted its record with an awful schedule but somehow the committee knows everything

Bama is -2000 to get in, so 95.2% chance. We have ~30% chance to get in rn according to Vegas. Our chances are better, still not great with Bama win. I don't think anyone really knows what will happen if Bama gets blown out. I think the markets would flip quickly and we would get in.

 

[One9]

not exactly a conference championship but Abliene Christian's QB just ran thru a mother****ers face.

 

[Hoyacane1620]

Here's another scenario:

Bama beats UGA and moves ahead of UGA for either the 4 or 5 seed. That would give the committee the fall back position to keep ND in despite the H2H with Miami by saying there is another case of the loser of a H2H being ranked ahead of the winner. (Bama would be ahead of OU).

OU would still be in but ranked behind Bama....

 

[SCarolina Ibis]

My biggest fear is even if bama wins they do some f*ckery and manipulation like rank Navy 25 and then start pointing to “CFB top 25” wins

You might be on to something, just not with Alabama.

It's Notre Dame beating Boise that concerns me. I can't help but think they're gonna put 9-4 Boise in the top 25. They just won their conference. But more importantly, ND beat them.

But you know who beat Boise? The same 9-3 USF team we beat 49-12.

The committee is toast. We're getting in!!

 

[bacane]

Bama is -2000 to get in, so 95.2% chance. We have ~30% chance to get in rn according to Vegas. Our chances are better, still not great with Bama win. I don't think anyone really knows what will happen if Bama gets blown out. I think the markets would flip quickly and we would get in.

Thought we needed Bama win so we’d be paired with ND. Is that right?

 

[YLCANE]

Fowler calls Alabama a virtual lock for the CFP

Herbstreit: "Can't wait to see these two brands play each other.

Not teams, but brands

Sankey has his minions in line

How many times will Fowler say
“The dawgsss”
Omg I can’t take him licking the dawgsss *** non stop

 

[joeB954]

It’s criminal that we’d have to “jump” a team we BEAT, and ended up with the same record as, in the first place! This legit makes my head hurt. It’s insane that they feel they have any argument at all

The mental gymnastics ND fans do to make themselves feel they should be ahead of us is insane. Don’t try to understand it
