Locked Out

Highly unlikely that we'll win out so is almost a mute point. We'll loose at least one more. Some random ACC team like Pitt or GT will play out of their minds and leave us all looking around like wha happen.

But, the committee, I think, values Petersen and Washington and they would also have one loss to an SEC team. Of course, I’d love to be wrong in my hypothetical.

That loss would be meaningless compared to a let’s say a clemson win in the acc championship

Hypothetically, let’s assume all of the below teams are conference champs at the end of the season, who gets left out?

11-1 Miami
11-1 Alabama
11-1 OSU
11-1 OK
11-1 WA

History says that won't happen. Fans always think there will be all these teams tied at the top, but it never happens.

History says that won't happen, that's kinda my point. It may not be "scientific", but these things mostly work themselves out. There have been very few years with any kind of real controversy in the last poll, but fans wring their hands about it every single year.

...but...

Washington and OSU come from conferences even weaker than the ACC, so those two in that order.
 
This is a bad take because Washington would be left out in this scenario. Easy. 0 OOC quality wins and while the same would be true of Miami, in this scenario, Miami would have the "win over Clemson" card Washington can't replicate.

If Miami can run the table to the ACCCG (which I believe is possible, probable even, from my point of view), then Miami would have made enough corrections to beat Clemson. And, it still might not matter to the committee because of the weakness of the ACC.

Yeah. LSwho is lurking in the shadows.

Washington is out

We will have to go through a top 10 VT on road in late November and #1 clemson in acccg in that scenario.

The Big 10 is not weaker than the ACC. They have more depth in their top shelf and middle of the road teams. The ACC has crap behind Clemson, Miami and VA Tech. Not to mention that the ACC venues have little to offer in the way of a home field advantage.

That’s bullsh*t a 1 loss Miami that happens to beat Clemson in that scenario will undoubtedly be in

Not when that 1 loss came to LSU who will have losses to Bama and UGA. Our 1 big game will be against Clemson who was a missed penalty away from losing to TAMU who will probably lose at least 2 games in SEC play. I can see 2 SEC teams in it again with the Ohio St. and Oklahoma as the other 2.

That was meant to be OK not OSU. But the B1G aren't looking nearly as hot as expected.

An article in SBNation today says that the ACC is so bad that even if tbe Canes win out and become ACC champs we would not make the playoffs.

It is a down year in the ACC, but a win at BC (2-3 losses) at VT & an undefeated Clemson will get us in easily.

If we win out its gonna come down to the "best loss" bs. Stupidest thing I've ever heard. If we win out and beat an undefeated Clemson it would be hard to keep out a conference champion with 1 loss that has a win over Clemson.

Only scenario I could see a problem is if Alabama, Ohio State, and Oklahoma win out and they're in and we beat an undefeated Clemson for the ACC title, which isn't happening anyway. Then, Alabama beat an undefeated UGA for the SEC.

It would come down to a 1 loss Miami (conference champ, wins over Clemson, VT, BC and loss vs LSU) or UGA (wins over LSU, Auburn, UF, etc and loss to Alabama. Non-conference champ). Can't trust the polls not to pick an SEC team in that scenario. Not that it's gonna happen but theoretically...

And Clemson BARELY scraped by the 5th(?) best SEC team and the media had a field day the day after about the incorrect call by the refs.
 
IF that comes to fruition we only have ourselves to blame. We had our chance against LSU and **** the bed. Never leave it in the hands of the judges.

The ACC is so bad, I agree with that, but the Big 10 might be worse. Also if Miami goes 11-1 (highly unlikely) we make the playoffs unless there are 5 other 11-1 or 12-0 to choose from assuming we're the only 11-1 team with a loss so embarrassing on National TV.

Don't even give me anything about the Pac 12. USC SUCKS, Oregon has diabetes right now from all the cream puffs they've played, and Stanford doesn't look that great IMO. That conference is just Washington.
