Does anyone have an easier final stretch to make the playoffs

[sfcane2]

Of all the teams left does anyone have an easier schedule to navigate. All the one loss teams have significantly tougher schedules to finish as do most of the undefeated teams. Thank goodness we don’t have a schedule like Oklahoma or Oregon.Even BYU and Texas Tech have to play each other still.

We all make the mistake of trying to pencil in wins and losses and it just doesn’t work that way. There will be “cakewalks” where a favorited team trips up, and it’ll happen multiple times. There will be games that were supposed to be tight that turn into blowouts.

an easier road would be playing more ranked teams

good question and point

 

[Hurricane23]

we'd probably do better in the SEC Mario is good in big games, it's the games that you expect him to easily win that he doesnt do well in

Yes, GT and UVA.

GT still has Georgia. But the ACC schedule is a cakewalk. Similar to ours. Virginia still has Duke. The game that could trip them up is the road trip to Cal. College players don’t seem to handle the trip out west well.

Wouldn’t surprise me at all if we lost 1, maybe 2 games down the stretch. That was a bad loss to UL.

 

[ThomasM]

If we had a gameday coach, yes.

Such a jinxing post. Where is some wood to knock?

So... go back indy?

 

[Memnon]

Indiana.

They have the weakest SOS for the remaining 6 games of the season amongst ranked teams.

They're basically going to be a shoo-in top 4 seed.

This. Mario has 5 losses as a double digit favorite in 3.5 seasons at Miami.

as Danny Kannel said, is it as bad to Notre Dame losing to Northern Illinois or Ohio State losing to a mediocre Michigan last year? I have a feeling Louisville ends up 10-2 this year.

Won’t they make the B1G champship game?

Drop that and they are out of the top 4, no? Now they likely make top 8 and play a home game.

The good news, @smu and @pitt are not likely to be double digit favorite type games.

@vt, NCSt, Stanford, and Cuse could be and if we dropped one of these, I’m leaning away from the middle to mope.

Pitt has like 2 losses (Louisville and WVU in Ot) and they were leading by a TD both in the 4th quarter
