Do We Need Alabama or Georgia to LOSE??

[1mg of Epi]

Georgia losing drops ND's SOS,....while Alabama losing would give them 3 losses and potentially open up another spot. (Edit: I see that Georgia played ND LAST YEAR, not THIS YEAR)

Given all the biases we already know about, which would be better?

Alabama is in no matter what. If they lose, they probably go between Miami and ND.

Bama needs to lose.

 

[Jedi Master Cane]

You're probably right. Still. I think Alabama close win is best case scenario for us

Sign me up right now for ANY Bama win, close or blowout. I think either way we'd get in.

Root for giant sinkhole

The committee would find a way to make this a data point in ND's favor.

Roll Tide.

So you’d rather guarantee 2 teams make it vs a chance one of those teams, with 3 losses, does not?

There is absolutely no way Alabama misses the playoff.

Doesn’t matter if they lose by 100, their entire coaching staff is fired and replaced by make-a-wish kids and their QB loses both arms in a freak garbage disposal accident….

Bama is STILL in.

If the above does happen, they’ll drop to 10, Miami is 11 and ND is 9… and we get ****ed.

I think we get ****ed anyway tho.

True sec teams would get in if all the players died in sinkhole

In theory, the outcome of this game doesn't matter. What we needed to happen (BYU losing big) already happened.

The issue is we are dealing with a corrupt, compromised, inept, and incompetent committee. As such we're all forced to try to guess what these a$$holes are going to do in the case of Bama/GA win or a blowout in either direction.

In theory....our clearest path is being compared DIRECTLY with ND one spot away in the rankings. IN THEORY, that is best accomplished with Bama winning.

But who the **** knows, we've now entered the WWE section of programming.

This could not have been better said.

The fact what you typed is true is sad what a scam it all is

I agree Bama is in. So both are 100% in and what we are counting on is that the loser is ranked in a place that Miami and ND are back to back and after multiple weeks on ND being in, they are out and we are in?

Sounds promising

 

[GojiraCane]

I 100% agree

it's just too loud and they played musical chairs enough, putting bama artificially between ND and Miami won't save the backlash of head to head for them now that it's the final ranking and one team has to get in and one team has to be left out

my biggest fear was BYU win or byu super close loss and staying ahead of us

we're absolutely in

I agree, but for sake of argument does it matter if there is a backlash? Nothing happens to CFB. Nothing happens to the playoff, except maybe that it gets expanded in the future.

 

[404Usernamenotfound]

Nobody really knows. That’s your best answer.

It’s hard to know when the committee themselves don’t know and change their mind each day

 

[sedlst11]

Im Curious on this. Why wouldn’t we want Bama to lose. We’re essentially at 11 right now with the BYU loss. If bama loses why wouldn’t that put them at 11 and us move up to 10 and ND to 9.

Bingo

 

[Kempo Cane]

When did Bama to lose that will give Alabama three losses?

No

Don't need any chance of Bama clogging up around us ,they win and they move up

Eassssyyy tiger
It’s not as common sense as you think
You are dealing with blue blood Great 8 schools!!!!

I am not counting on them doing the right thing by ANY means

I will be pleasantly surprised if it happens

Yea and it pushes back everyone back one spot.

 

[krashlite1975]

Bingo

If they lose small, they might only drop one spot. The committee said last week the closest call was between ND and Bama so we need some distance between them.

 

[smack99]

Going to be one of those classic SEC NO OFFENSE games that ends in a 13-10 score

 

[caneworld]

Bigger question is if Duke upsets UVa.... will they choose Miami as the best ACC rep.
No where does it say the winner of ACCCG has to be selected as the best team in ACC.

It doesn't make a difference to ACC if we make it instead of Duke.. in fact they might prefer that, since there is a better chance for us to make it to the next round...

That way all are in.. and Duke can go fly a kite
