Miami opens at -7 next week at Pitt. Slightly higher than I thought, I guessed -5 last night. So we’re a TD favorite, go win and cover.

Other notable lines:

We are currently +235 to make the playoffs. That number was +300 yesterday morning, so a small improvement in our chances. I think it should be obvious to everyone now that we need to win and get help to get in.

We are currently +650 to win the ACC. That number was +850 yesterday morning, so a small improvement there too. Obviously this has to do with GT losing. This is actually higher than I thought, that’s a pretty big number. SMU is +125 and UVA is +150. Pitt +1200. It’s likely due to SMU and UVA being big favorites.

SMU is -10 at Cal. That game is at 8:00 eastern.

UVA is -10.5 home vs VT. That game is at 7:00 eastern.

We know we need some upsets here. Both these teams are “win and in” for Charlotte. Other notables for teams we need to lose:

Alabama -5.5 at Auburn in the Iron Bowl. MASSIVE game for us. We really, really need Bama to drop that game. That game is 7:30 on ESPN.

OU is -9.5 home vs LSU. Need LSU to pull an upset. Game is 3:30 on ESPN.

Oregon -7.5 at Washington. 3:30 kickoff.

So, we’ve got an uphill climb. Every term we need to lose is a favorite. And it’ll be slow torture all day. We play at noon, then all eyes on OU/LSU and Oregon/Washington at 3:30, then UVA at 7:00, the iron bowl at 7:30, and SMU at 8:00.

Let’s go smack the **** outta Pitt and see what happens the rest of the day.

That VT backup QB had a ton of energy. Wonder if they stick with him for this week to see what they have.

We’re in a ridiculously tough spot even though that recent loss is now a ranked team and our final opponent is likely a ranked team also. So it’s not as bad as it was but we genuinely needed that BYU loss and Oklahoma loss last week

- I hate UF (choked against Ole Miss) (Mississippi state will do the same)
- I hate Bama
- I HATE KANSAS STATE
- I HATE cincinatti
- I Hate Missouri
- I hate Iowa

And I ******* Hate Pat Narduzzi and his ***** *** telling his whole team that the ND game meant jack ****, lastly I HATE the ACC and this stupid *** conference.

Our Fate rests in VT & Cals hands….

10-2 with wins @Pitt, Vs ND, Vs USF, Vs UF and losing in OT on the road to a (more than likely) top 25 team & then Louisville and we will be the last team left out of the playoff because this stupid *** conference can’t get out of its own way.

Miss me with “should’ve took care of business” because we are stacked up against PLENTY of 2 loss teams yet we seem to be punished the most, with our wins SHOULDVE been a Guaranteed playoff spot. **** the ACC

Yeah I think that’s baked into the line. I don’t have much hope for that one but LSU’s defense is still salty as ****. I don’t think they can beat OU with Van Buren but the only reason we’re in this **** spot is because OU beat Bama with a FOUR (!!) percent postgame win expectancy. Four. The luckiest win of the entire season. So maybe the same can happen for LSU and they can win a game 10-7. Sigh.

Every game in college football all season has become a playoff. Lose 2 or more and you’re probably out of the playoffs. Keeps every week important and exciting.
 
odds maker have a large role in the current playoff set up as they set the standard for "style points" ... for example if we were a 10 pts favorite yesterday the win looks totally different
 
Unfortunately I think Oregon did enough yesterday to stay ahead of us with a loss at Washington. But it’d still help so I’m a Washington fan next week.

It’s just crazy how many chances we’ve had and gotten no chaos. We drop games up 21-0 at Cuse but can’t get a 7-point dog to pull an upset to save our lives.

Auburn started the true freshman deuce knight yesterday. It was against Mercer, but 15/20 for 239 2/0, with 9 for 162 and 4 TDs (!) rushing. Paired with salty defense, the iron bowl might be our best shot.
 
need Deuce Knight to turn into Cam Newton in the iron bowl

also, what if Bama gets beat by double digits in the SEC champ game for their 3rd loss?

I haven’t decided what I am going to do on Saturday:

1) watch the game
2) not watch the game
3) watch the game real drunk
4) not watch the game and clean out the garage
5) not watch the game and pressure wash the driveway
6) not watch the game and decorate the house for Christmas

So I have decisions to make as in which way I want to be a coward on Saturday. I know that game is going to drive me crazy if I watch it.

Whatever you decide, do it naked.
