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.

In one scenario, we need just 1 upset.
VT over UVA.

Unfortunately, they're the biggest 'dog.
Hoping for the Franklin effect to now settle in.

This is the week we see how Mario gets this team prepared. Block out all noise and scenarios outside and sole focus is Pitt and nobody else. I love that it’s an 11am game so there won’t be any time to see what other teams are doing. Just win and see where the chips fall.

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.

I tried not paying attention this week and before I knew it I was in the biggest cesspool on the internet… the game day discussion thread. What this team does to us is not good.

Bottom line is if the acc title or make acc champ game doesn't work out, can we make the playoff at large bid without help or do we still need teams ahead of us to lose to get in? The playoff rankings this week should let us know that story. We may sneak ahead of Utah this week. We shall see.

Need help.
 
It's complete trash that ND whose best win is usc and they have same number of losses as us yet we beat them is locked in the playoff and we are on outside looking in.

If nd was in our situation and roles were reversed, I guarantee we wouldnt be a lock for playoff had nd beat us and we were in their situation. The bias with ND and SEC is sickening.
 
If Ole Miss drops the Egg Bowl and Lane leaves the next day I assume there'll be some media hype around leaving them out.

Regardless, just beat Pitt by 3 scores and let the chips fall where they may.

They’re only -8.5. Lower than I expected.

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.

OU’s offense was anemic yesterday, Trumpycane watched and was falling asleep watching

Team reminds me of a much better version of our 2019 team

I will as well but I don’t see a 2 loss Ole Miss being left out.

However, we all know how this is going to play out:

We will lay an egg and lose vs Pitt and Auburn somehow pulls off a shocking win vs Bama.

Ole Miss would be left if they lost and Kiffin bolts in Trumpycane opinion
