If we are ranked #12

[caneknight7575]

I don’t understand why everyone would think that the sky is falling. if bama and byu loses in the conference title game. Bama would have three losses and byu two. Why wouldn’t Miami jump both if Miami is still ahead of Vandy and Texas?

Cause they’ve said they won’t punish conference game losers.

 

[McGahee2TheHouse]

Cause they e said they won’t punish conference game losers.

And set this precedent last year with SMU in particular

 

[TheATLCane]

I suspect BYU will move down this week to handle this exact scenario

Possibly Bama as well

As we’ve seen they will adapt new precedent and discard old ones as they see fit. H2H used to matter but not anymore. Our only hope is them dropping BYU and Bama if both lose their CCG. That said I give it a .05% chance. Would need both teams to get blown out. I think both are capable of getting beat but nothing else has gone our way and I wouldn’t expect this to.

So if Virginia loses they are still in? That doesn’t make sense. So if Duke loses they are still in? The committee can’t pick and chose when that argument applies.

Uga struggles beating bama for whatever reason. What I hope Happens is notre dame drops to #10 spot so if bama wins they can’t jump a team they are behind ala Miami/notre dame

Why we need to move up to 11 on Tuesday. We beat a ranked team on Saturday…and BYU didn’t.

Bama covered the spread...

People keep saying it was bad loss but they covered...

Isn’t corruption neat

Bama and OU’s resumes should have dropped some after yesterday. Neither had good game control. Neither got a good win. Neither added to their SOS. Miami should have moved up in all 3 of those numbers.

I dont See how bama is a bonafide playoff team. Yeah their defense is elite but they have the worst offense in the top 25 of the rankings probably. Is that truly a complete team? No

I agree but bama covered and that could be all they need to lean on.

I think Miami would be favored in both those games.

If the committee wanted to put the best teams in they would rely on Vegas. I bet these guys are 50% in picks.

Also I think they could put Bama behind us bec if they win the SEC it doesn't matter.

But they have already, unfortunately.

Conveniently they’ll drop Pitt from the top 25 but somehow Tenn who hasn’t beaten a .500 FBS team all year will remain….because you know, SEC top 25 wins.

If we are not ranked ahead of notre dame Tuesday….. we need to hope for an Alabama WIN and byu loss. Bama would jump notre dame in that case and then Miami and notre dame would be right next to each other in the rankings which would force the committee to do something they are avoiding

I think smu proved you should punish conference losers lmao

They literally said last week we were in the comparator group and it wasnt close. Won't matter if we are one game apart.

They want ND in

Oklahoma has a worse offense
