Prepare for disappointment

I think if we win out, we're in.

Just remains to be seen how we'll perform on the Road @Heinz Field.

The Narduzzi has pretty much mailed in the rest of their season focusing the last 3 weeks solely on ruining Miami's playoff chances.

He wants to beat us more than anything.

That game is where we need to step up & play our best ball of the season, because if we let Pitt hang around at all, The Narduzzi will be energized with all kinds of evil mojo channeled into upsetting Miami.

At this point. All I care about it going 10-2. If we get ****ed out of playoff, well guess what? Should go 12-0 because we were favored in every game we lost and both games were extremely winnable.

AND if we don’t get in at 10-2 all I care about is winning a bowl game and going 11-2

I really think that too many on this board think we will get a fair shake and have a shot at making the playoff. It’s not happening. If we were getting in we would be better positioned right now. Our quality points have happened. The committee has spoken loud and clearly that they do not want Miami in. They do this buy creating this fictitious 3 team gap where you can not compare teams outside that and then move the goal posts with regularity. They also manipulate the back end of the rankings to bolster resumes. Convenient how Pitt pops into the top 25 just before they play ND to give them a ranked win, or how Arizona state pops in to help the big 12 resumes.

Saw this on Twitter and wanted to share. Excellent breakdown.

Here’s how the rankings are manipulated with teams like Tennessee and Missouri.

Alabama is #10
BYU is #11
Miami is #13

“Alabama has to stay ranked high because of their FOUR ranked wins!”

Half of Alabama’s ranked wins are Tennessee and Missouri. Those two teams are a combined 0-6 vs. ranked opponents and have beaten ZERO bowl eligible teams.

Let’s simply replace Tennessee with a team like 7-3 Louisville (who beat #13 Miami, Pitt, and James Madison), and replace Missouri with a team like 7-3 Arizona (who just beat #25 Cincinnati on the road last week).

If you make those two little changes, Alabama suddenly now has just 2 ranked wins.

With Arizona ranked, BYU now also has two ranked wins. With Louisville ranked, Miami’s loss to them is no longer to a “horrible unranked team!”

So now you’d have:
8-2 Alabama with 2 ranked wins
9-1 BYU with 2 ranked wins
8-2 Miami with a Top 10 win over Notre Dame

BYU clearly jumps Alabama (should already be ahead of some Top 10 teams)

Then what you’d have to take into consideration is that Miami beat Florida State, while Alabama lost to Florida State by 14. Miami likely jumps Alabama too.

With just a small change to #20 and #22, taking out Tennessee and Missouri (who have ZERO wins over bowl eligible teams), and replacing them with Louisville and Arizona (who have FIVE wins over bowl eligible teams), the resumes and CFP cases of teams ranked #10-#13 change drastically.

There are games in the next couple.of weeks that should firmly plant us in the top 10 regardless of the outcome. We just have to win out.
And it would help if we beat Pitt convincingly on the road.

Am I the only one who thinks Narduzzi is a ***** for his comments about Notre Dame game??
 
I understand everyone trying to do mental gymnastics about how we can get in the field of 12. We beat Notre Dame and they shouldn't be ahead of us. But we lost to 2 teams we had no business losing to. We've done this to ourselves and have nobody else to blame.

We may ultimately get in if there is more chaos the next 3 weeks.

He's made several bulletin board material comments throughout the season about Miami. He's undoubtedly the biggest ******* in CFB.

It just never gets any attention on our board because our fans are always foaming at the mouth focused on Fran Brown & Deion for whatever reason.

But the Narduzzi is a massive prick.

Now Franklin being announced this week is convenient. He's already lines up dozens of recruits to visit, including some OVs. He'll have that stadium wild at noon.

Pitt's RB was helped off the field last week. He's had an ankle injury all season. Hopefully Ga Tech loses but does some physical damage to Pitt....

Pitt has a solid True Freshman RB that’s is the backup to Reid.

You can tell Mario feels the same way

It concerns me because I think it makes Mario want to be even more Mario when we play them. Like he wants to teach Narduzzi a lesson. They’re similar in a lot of ways.

But agreed Narduzzi has the absolute most punchable face in CFB
 
Wouldn’t surprise me at all to see Narpuzzi throw the GT game. Also, wouldn’t surprise me to see the ACC give us a 8 PM game at Pitt so it is as cold as possible and throw in Jerry Magallane as the ref in that game.
