Do We Need Alabama or Georgia to LOSE??

[Tony4Canes]

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.
It doesn't make a difference to ACC if we make it instead of Duke.. in fact they might prefer that.
That way all are in.. and Duke can go fly a kite

No

Duke win only gets JMU in

 

[WR Cane]

I think Herstreit just said we want Alabama to lose? True?

 

[deezydinh]

Why did Kirk say we need an Alabama loss?

 

[Fightinibis]

Herbstreit says we want them to lose, Mandell says we want them to win…WTF knows anymore

 

[YLCANE]

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.

Because they are playing an extra CHAMPIONSHIP game
They shouldn’t be punished for it while others sit at home(OU ole Miss)

 

[Tony4Canes]

Yes Herbie said Bama loss Miami fans

 

[CANEFAN83]

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

We'll see. The committee has not been favorable to us thus far. I can see being optimistic but to say we are absolutely in is a stretch i think. I hope you are right though.

If it is close either way, makes it harder on the committee...
..Blow out of Bama makes a better case to get rid of them as a 3 loss team, especially since they are the 5th SEC team.

But teams have been punished for it.

Just heard that
Not sure why he would say that?

 

[Kempo Cane]

I think Herstreit just said we want Alabama to lose? True?

He said it but unless it's a blow out idk

 

[YLCANE]

But teams have been punished for it.

If they lose
They drop bama to 10 imo
Not below

 

[FuriousStyles]

I just don’t see a scenario where Bama beats UGA and UGA drops in a way that’s beneficial to us… however, UGA could beat Bama in a way that helps our case from an immediate optics and 3 losses standpoint

 

[atlcane72]

Bama is on the bubble with UM. Definitely want them to lose.

 

[sedlst11]

If they lose
They drop bama to 10 imo
Not below

I disagree. But if that’s the case we should be 9 cause we beat ND. Cause right now with the BYU loss we’re right next to them.

 

[frank1886]

We need Bama to win so Miami and ND are next to each other in the rankings and then head to head comes to play. I think the committee made up their minds a month, they ND is better so they will make the playoffs.

 

[YLCANE]

If Georgia beats bama like TT beat byu
MAYBE
But
Them being number one seed in SEC
Them being a Great 8 school

I don’t see them dropping out under any scenario

We want bama to win so the entire discussion for committee is two teams…Miami and ND

The muddier the water the more
Bull**** they will weave

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

Isn’t it conference champions? If so another G5 school gets in.

[GonzoCane]

Won’t matter. Both these teams are in no matter what, which leaves 1 spot for ND.
