ESPN Power Rankings

[Andrew]

Sure these rankings mean nothing, but ESPN typically does a fair job ranking teams. I don't see the CFP Rankings being much different.

1) Clemson
2) Oklahoma
3) Wisconsin
4) Auburn
5) Alabama
6) Georgia
7) Miami
8) TCU
9) UCF
10) Ohio State

Based off of these rankings you can eliminate every school below Miami from jumping Miami. Both TCU and Ohio State have 2 losses, and despite the love affair with Ohio State, Wisconsin being ranked 3 is good for us. I suppose if Ohio State blows them out then it's possible, but I think we are good.

If we beat Clemson then we are 6th (follow me here). The loser of Auburn vs Georgia moves behind us, which puts us at 5th. If Ohio State plays a close one with Wisconsin and doesn't destroy them than I don't think they jump us. If Wisconsin wins then a 0 percent chance we jump them. What we need is for Ohio State or TCU to win, but not by a large margin. (Unless we blow out Clemson)

Alabama is difficult to predict. They don't have any games left, so no more quality wins for them. The playoff committee is not the BCS, so there is no point system. It really comes down to whether they believe we are better than Alabama. If we blow out Clemson then we are in. If we don't blow out Clemson then it could be close.

It’s really simple.
ACC winner is in whoever that is
SEC winner is in whoever that is
Wisky win and in
OU win and in
————
Bama 1st in the event of Wisky or OU loss.

If both Wisky and OU lose then the commitee must pick 1 team from the following pool of 2 loss team or teams with a weak SOS.
SEC Runner Up(Potentional 3 loss AU), ACC runner up , OSU, OU, TCU, PSU, Wisky, UCF.

Stop spamming your own board. There are already dozens of threads on this topic, yet you felt the need to make a new one?

The committe doesn’t pick teams based on who they think is “better.” If you are going to totally ignore how the process actually works in your never ending quest to publically suck off Bama, stop posting.

If OU loses then you have a BIG12 Champion in TCU. I don't think TCU get's in above us though. I think the BIG 12 is likely out if OU loses.

I imagine the CFP rankings will be pretty similar. Take UCF out, flip-flop TCU and OSU, etc

Clemson
Oklahoma
Wisconsin
Auburn
Alabama
Georgia
Miami
Ohio State
Penn State
USC
TCU

That's my guess

This thread discusses the scenario under the ESPN Power Rankings, which was just released. Yes the committee picks the "four best teams".

If we beat #1 Clemson, no matter the score, we are in. Stop it with the Alabama and their 1 win over a 4 loss Mississippi State team. Stop it.

 

[407cane]

Gameday coming to ACC champ game. No way they leave winner out. Especially since Clemson will be #1 Tuesday

Wow, there weren’t any threads you could have posted this in? You are embarassing yourself. How many different posts do you need to make about how Alabama is going to get in over Miami despite all evidence to the contrary?

I wager my account that Alabama does not get in over Miami if Miami wins. Do you accept the bet? If you win, I’m gone forever. If I win, you can fix the IT problems with the site but can never post again.

When comparing teams, the committee considers the following: championships; strength of schedule; head to head competition; outcomes of common opponents. Where would Alabama have the edge on Miami?

You really felt the need to make ANOTHER thread where you could try to explain to everybody how Alabama is getting in over an ACC champion Miami (we likely aren’t winning the ACC championship game) despite there being ZERO evidence to support it. STOP.

The CFP will be decided by who wins on the field. The ESPN power ratings are something fun to discuss, but we win we in.

Actually if you read my post, I didn't predict Alabama would get in ahead of us. The thread has it's own topic, "ESPN Power Rankings".

Here is my exact quote

"Alabama is difficult to predict. They don't have any games left, so no more quality wins for them. The playoff committee is not the BCS, so there is no point system. It really comes down to whether they believe we are better than Alabama. If we blow out Clemson then we are in. If we don't blow out Clemson then it could be close."

I reserve the right to change my opinion based off the AP, Coaches and of course the CFP Rankings. This site is a forum, so reasonable discussion on a topic is ok. In most scenarios of Alabama being left out, they would end up at 5th, and the most likely scenario (everyone not losing) has us at 4th. To me it's reasonable to discuss the 4th and 5th place team.

No, I am not betting my account.

Jesus ******* Christ. Just deal with it. Andrew is worshiped as a God in the Federated States of Micronesia. Back off.

 

[305to404CANE]

So Miami wins, whether close or not, they would have legitimately beat three top 15 teams, including the #1 team in the nation, defending national champions, and you still put 2 SEC teams, a Big 12, and Big 10 ahead of the ACC. Man, you know how much **** there would be. Bama will only have won against two ranked teams, and that's assuming MSU is still ranked after this week, leaving, LSU as the only quality win.

Now do i put it pass the committee to pull some bull**** like that, no, but that should upset every college football fan if that was to happen, including our rivals.

 

[Jax Cane]

I think some of the Media is tired of Bama and Saban's arrogance

 

[moshated305]

We're jumping Bama if we beat Clemson. Period. Bama got y'all shook.

 

[jb6]

its really this simple, we beat clemson in the acccg and were in

 

[ShadowSpring]

#3 team in the SEC is not in a million years getting in over #1 in the ACC.

Go get yourself some Summer's Eve and clean out your little cooter.

Stop spreading your estrogen filled nonsense.

 

[canecat]

We will be 6 of 7 in the playoff rankings and we win and we are the 3 or 4 seed in the playoffs.
