How does this play out?

[HSBD]

If:

Miami goes 11-1 with the one loss to FSU
FSU goes 11-1 with the one loss to Clemson
Clemson goes undefeated in the ACC (win over FSU)

Clemson and FSU play in the ACC championship game

Does Miami make the playoffs?

 

[Bird4um]

No.

Bigger problem is if FSU beats us both and we have the same record as Clemson. Who is going to ACC champ.

 

[Shooter McGavin]

Let’s just focus on Florida first

 

[dateline_]

Possibly. It all comes down to the eye test. Did we dominate our 11 wins and was the loss a quality loss? If so, I think we make a case for ourselves. If we stumble our way to 11 wins and look ugly in the loss, there’s no way we deserve a shot.

 

[Kempo Cane]

We not losing to the nole, just stop it!

OK coach

Does Miami make the playoffs?

Barely, with a pity vote, as at-large team in the 10-12 seed slot.

Very likely in the expanded 14 seeded playoff.

Yes! No way we are not top 12 in that scenario.

 

[OrangeBowlMagic]

11-1 in a P4 league gets you one of the 8 at large spots.

 

[mcnaire2004]

11 win the answer is yes. Very rare to see a 11 win power team not ranked in the top 10 at seasons end. I can't remember the last time it happened.

Coming down from the edible overdose I see.

Welcome back.

Why do you think FSU will beat us at home?

We are a much better team at the most important position, never mind better talent and depth; what is about the current FSU team that makes you pencil in a road win against []__[]?

 

[NorthEastCane]

I don’t see any scenario where 3 ACC teams get into the playoffs. The selection committee won’t let it happen.

I don’t see any scenario where 3 ACC teams get into the playoffs. The selection committee won’t let it happen.

Would be hilarious if in that scenario Clemson beats FSU, and you get 11-1 Miami in the CFP and 11-2 FSU out again. Just the meltdown FSU would have would be epic.

 

[Hegemon]

Lmfao if Miami is 11-1 and not in the ACCCG we make the playoffs

Don't get it twisted

 

[WeBallinBoyz]

…not a lock at all.

SEC and BIG10 getting 3 each minimum. ACC champ, BIG12 champ, G5 champ. 3 at large left including a media darling Notre Dame.

ACC is not a lock for 2 bids. 11-1 should get you in though…key word being should. 10 wins…that’s tougher.

 

[Mario Hurricanes]

Why do think FSU is going to win this year? I think FSU is going to fail because of spotty QB play from DJU. I think we lose one this year, I think probably Louisville on a letdown week from the FSU game.

You’re about to get a cease and desist from @TheOriginalCane

No.

Highest rated team.
