Only reason they are keeping us below BYU and Utah is to justify having ND above us. We aren't in their tier so head to head doesn't matter right now lol

Guy actually went on national tv and said ND has better losses than Miami and didn't mention that Miami is one of ND's losses. This a complete joke.

Also no mention of Bama getting blown out by a 3 win team and then losing at home last week to a team without an offense. It’s all a joke. They already know who they want to put in. Right now they’re just hedging in case some 2 loss teams lose another. Look for Bama to get in with 3 losses if that 3rd is in the SECCG.

Need to blowout both VT and Pitt to get in IMO. Need to go up to Pitt and beat the holy **** out of that cuck Narduzzi for his dumbass comments he made before the ND game. Need to make that team look like they don't even belong on the same field.

Amazing that no mention is made anywhere about Navy sitting their starting QB against ND or Pitt Coach saying he doesn’t care if they lose by 100 because the game doesn’t mean anything. On a side note if the ACC doesn’t end their deal with ND because of stuff like that, they’re idiots.
 
Idgaf how, but I want ND in the first round of the playoffs. Make them 8 and us 9 for all I care. We need to stuff those guys in a locker. Again.

We heard what we needed to hear, and respect for the new chair head. He didn't give us all we wanted or deserve, but he left the door open and encouragingly said we will be compared to ND if we finish the job. Now, go out and pound Va tech like our lives depend on it and then we worry about Pitt next week. Preview, next week won't sound a lot different.

This is a very optimistic view. Everything I mentioned earlier in season and was told dont matter is what is affecting us now. Being aggressive, finishing games, style points, style of play, ALL OF IT is coming to bite us and being used against us.. Mario would have to drop his entire philosophy MIDSEASON to get us in playoffs. We can pull starters anymore, we have to play for shutouts..

There are no margins left where we can get guys reps because what people on here said didnt matter in beginning of season seems to matter a **** ton now. We couldnt even let that TD go against NCST honestly. We should have played for shutout. We are in an extremely bad lace and we can do everything right and still be left out. Will Mario run up the score? Will he even put his foot on gas? I dont even think he realizes what he has to do if he is just now trying to get guys reps.. Gonna be another wasted season.
 
We could be ACC2 in the CFP if we just win out, no ACCCG needed. Committee loves our OOC wins. Same record as last year but with better OOC wins gets in most years.

The obsession with “good losses” is strange.

We no longer play to win the game?

Top 5 all time rant.
 
We really need style points. Dawson needs to put up 49+ points per game while defense continue to stifle VTech and Pitt with sub 14-point games over these next two weeks. Language suggests that the committee is in a "what have you done for me lately" kind of mentality. Notre Dame, despite playing inferior schedule than us, are blowing teams out. Meanwhile, we are letting teams **** with us that have no business ******* with us--thank you big brain CMC and ACC-Refs, all this **** was preventable. I think the committee is baking in our yearly crash out in November, too. (Which makes this all so dumb. It is based on resume, not on what you will do).

Tired of seeing "Win and your in".

Winning out is the baseline. We need a little help--a team in the top 12 to get caught relaxing and fall to two or three losses on the season so we can get clustered.

If it ends up that we get cucked by ND in 2 weeks or so...Then it's no point for us to play them at all. It could literally mean that it hurt us to beat them. Strange as that sounds.

If that's the case, cancel next year's game, and dont schedule them during regular season. Seriously.
 
I have a question on who we should be watching and wanting wins from:

USC #15 @ Oregon #7.

Scenario #1: Oregon wins, USC is completely out of the playoff picture, Oregon is essentially a lock.
BUT
Scenario #2: USC wins, then Oregon bumps down to 9-2, USC climbs to 9-2 with a head-to-head loss with Notre Dame.

Okay, assuming we win out and all other constants remain, sort/rank the carnage. Who is the committee picking from?:

10-2 Oregon
10-2 USC (with h2h loss to ND)
10-2 Miami (with h2h win against ND)
10-2 Notre Dame
10-2 Alabama
10-2 Utah
10-2 Vandy
10-2 Oklahoma
10-2 Virginia
11-1 BYU
11-1 GTech

Assuming first 6 spots are a lock. (Ohio State, Indiana, TAMU, UGA, TTech, Ole Miss).
 
Utah ranked above Miami because they have better losses, yet ranked right below Miami is a SEC team with same record and their two losses being TEX and Bama.

This is collusion, it’s fraudulent and someone in Vegas is making a lot of money off this.

Well G Tech plays UGA to end the season. If they’re 11-1 then UGA is in that 10-2 field, and GT is a lock.

But hypothetically let’s say GT loses that and is 10-2. Four of these teams above would get in (ACC champ and G5 champ auto bids)

Bama, OU, BYU and Miami SHOULD be the 4.

The ACC needs to take a stand too. Especially if teams are sitting players out and coaches making comments about not caring if they win or lose. Either join a conference or find someone else to play.

Exactly. If it was two losses to two different teams, I'd buy that. If ND had lost to Ohio State and Texas A&M, sure. They didn't, though. They lost to US and Texas A&M.

Even if UGA falls to GA Tech, the only way UGA then tumbles out of the playoffs is a third loss in the SECCG (if they go). If they lose to GTech but don't get into the SECCG game, committee will keep them. Their resume is too strong.

So essentially, we'll all be tiger fans these next two weeks--Mizzou and Auburn that is. To keep that field of 4 narrow, we don't want Oregon or Ohio State to lose. That would then put Michigan and USC on the same competitive cluster as us and that does not bode well given the hatred the nation has for our program.

Agreed, I also think it would be hilarious to watch the committee scramble, so I want chaos. These two scenarios would make my day.

1) BYU loses this weekend.
- Realistically it would only be right to drop them, until you realize the team right below them is in same conference, with same record and BYU owns H2H, how do you justify them below Utah?

2) GT loses to Pitt then beats UGA
- Both GT and UGA that would be 10-2 (with GT holding the H2H in the last game of regular season) how do you justify them below UGA?
