Getting to the ACC-CG - the simple way

Y'all are really acting like all of the college football world wouldn't give their left 🥜 to ***** Miami. And the tobacco road mafia would gladly sacrifice us to Kali (iykyk) or any other god (little g) to stick it to UM. The fact that our playoff fate may be in the hands of those cucks should terrify every single one of us.

UGA was gifted a win against GT at home last season. 100% UGA should have lost that game. UGA is worse this season, GT is better, and the game is @ GT. Definitely not a guaranteed win, but I wouldn’t be surprised if GT wins that game.

It's at the Falcons stadium, but your point remains valid. Was weird that the game last year had SEC refs instead of road team refs

GT has a deal with Mercedes-Benz Stadium where they move one home game a year there through 2026. This year they decided to move the UGA game.

They're getting $10 million this year to move that home game.

The big one is GT. Any game can be lost. Gotta cheer for Pitt. Doesn’t hurt for Pitt to go all out win a big emotional one, and then we come to town off that.

The key players for us, Cal, Wake, Clemson. All each play 2/3 of the other teams. All three have a chance to beat those three teams.

I think UVA nose dives. 3 of the last four games in OT. The one that wasn’t, 2 point win to Wazzu. They gonna get clipped

There will be mayhem

Virginia has been EXTREMELY lucky so far. Of all the ACC contenders I believe they’re, by far, the biggest pretenders.
 
I could see Virginia losing two games. Their offense is tired and people have caught on.
 
Pitt beating GT and Louisville losing to Clemson or SMU. That's the most realistic way Miami gets into the ACCCG.

The best scenario for Miami is:

-GT going undefeated, beating UGA, and getting ranked in the top 5.
-UVA losing two games
-Louisville losing to SMU or Clemson

Then Miami gets a top 5 matchup in the ACCCG. In that scenario you have a shot at a first round bye.

But the biggest thing that needs to happen is Miami needs to dominate the remainder of the schedule. This bulls*** they did Saturday is going to cause a lot of problems for them. They need to look like Indiana and just blow all these teams out.
 
GT most likely going undefeated in ACC
UVA will drop 1 or 2
Louisville will drop 1 or 2

That being said, I'd rather just win out and go 11-1 and possibly host a playoff game at Hard Rock

Just between us girls, and we all know this won’t happen, but it would be so interesting if GT wins out, as in beats UGA, and finishes 12-0. They’re obviously in the ACCCG, and probably ranked #2 or #3 in the CFP rankings.

Miami wins out and is 11-1. Probably ranked, 5th? 6th? 7th at worst?

Louisville wins out, and wins the ACCCG.

They’re 12-1, ACC Champs.
GT is 12-1, ACC runners up
Miami is 11-1

VERY interesting. Obviously on the surface, 3 ACC teams are in. And that might be the verdict. But I’ll bet no one on the planet would admit right now that the ACC could get 3 in. Who gets left out? The B1G is almost certainly getting at least 3. ND at 10-2 is out? Ehhhhh. The G5 rep is in. Big 12 is in. That’s 6. So ACC gets 3 and SEC gets 3? People will set fire to whatever building these clowns hold the playoff discussions in. I’m here for it.

I think the decision would come down to 11-1 Miami or 10-2 ND. That week 1 win might be the deciding factor.

the ACC will never not be a circus. expect some losses you dont expect coming for each of those 3

If you have an 11-1 Louisville that beat us head on and 11-1 VA and 11-1 GT - it could happen. Unlikely, but if an undefeated FSU team gets left out, anything can happen.

I see only 2 ACC teams making it.

Still won’t happen. It would probably ***** Notre Dame.

I'll start this out very simply. I believe Miami needs to win the next 5 to make the ACC-CG.

There are currently TWO teams with zero ACC losses, and FIVE team with one ACC loss including Miami. Assuming we win out, we would move ahead of Pitt and SMU in the conference standings. Thus there are four problematic teams, and we would need to finish in the #2 (or #1) spot to make the ACC-CG.

Duke - currently 3-1 in ACC. Duke plays AT CLEMSON, hosts UVa, plays AT UNC, and hosts Wake. I highly doubt they win all 4, meaning we could bypass Duke with one or more Duke losses.

Louisville - also 3-1 in the ACC. Having missed our shot to put a second loss on Louisvillle, they now play AT VATECH, host Cal, host Clemson, and play AT SMU. Maybe I should start rooting for a Clemson resurgence, they could kill two birds with one stone.

UVa - currently 4-0 in the ACC. UVa plays AT CAL, hosts Wake, plays AT DUKE, and hosts VaTech. Ideally, we'd root for Cal/Wake wins, I'm just not sure if UVa will drop two, so we may need to best them on a tiebreaker.

GaTech - currently 5-0 in the ACC, so they'd need to drop 2 out of 3. GaTech plays at NC State, at Boston College, and then hosts Pitt.

Assuming Miami wins out and Duke, Louisville, and UVa take one more loss, I'd need a refresher on a 2-team tiebreaker (UM, UVa) where those teams don't play in the regular season.

To many if’s! Miami had a chance to control if they made it to the ACCCG……Now they just have to win out and make the playoffs.

Controlling it required going 12-0.

A pretty whack system if Miami went 11-1 with one ACC loss (and wins over Notre Dame, South Florida and Florida out of conference)—and missed out on a conference title game.

All these years of blowing a shot at an ACC Championship berth; it was always losing more than two conference games annually.

Got close out the gate in 2005; lost opener to FSU, choked late to GT—Hokies played the Noles and 9-2 Miami went to a Peach Bowl to get stomped by LSU.

5-3 in conference in 2009 under Shannon; missed out again and went 9-4 on the season after loss to Wisconsin in Citrus Bowl.

5-3 in conference in 2013 under Golden; another choke job—back to the Citrus to lose to Louisville.

5-3 in conference in 2016, year one under Richt—9-4 season after Camping Bowl win over West Virginia.

So many years two losses still could win you the Coastal; now 7-1 in conference arguably won't be enough with no divisions anymore.

System is whack.

At the end of day if we win out it might be a blessing. One less game to play. And at 11-1 we should still make the playoffs. The ACC isn’t beneficial for us. They have shown us that….I would rather go independent like the Irish.

The loser of the ACC champ game is in trouble to make the playoff. That’s why, in this scenario, we’re better off not going to the ACCCG and getting in at 11-1.

The committee set the precedent last year. They will not punish a team that was firmly in the playoff prior to championship weekend for losing in a championship game. The one caveat being that the title game loss needs to be competitive. If the ACC title loser gets blown out they will dump them for an SEC/B1G team if they can and even that would be highly controversial. FSU only got left out because Travis went down.

its looking like there will be 3 spots for ACC+ND.
B12 could throw wrench if it looks like they could get 2 with TTU and BYU. The reality is the B1G should probably only have like 3. But Iowa could change that as Oregon may still get preferential treatment even with an Iowa loss. SEC WILL get 4 minimum, even if they only deserve like 3. It'd be shocking if Ole Miss and A&M missed the playoff as of now. And You really think Bama+UGA aren't making it? A 2 loss UGA vs a 1 loss Miami (if neither play in their Conference Champ game).... hmmm tough call lol not...
