Run the table and…

I agree but I don’t see us running the table with 6 games left, no matter the competition. From the 4th quarter of the FSU game till we scored against Louisville the D gave up 33 unanswered points.

We basically need a Louisville gt Virginia loss. 2 of those. Plus some tiebreaker luck I guess and we win out to make the conference title game.

At 11-1 I don’t think we miss the playoffs. We will have a head to head against nd and USF. Who I don’t see losing

if we run the table a 11-1 miami team will not be left out
the conspiracy theorist in me thinks this is what the ACC wants
bc if miami won out and we won the ACC i dont think the acc gets more than 1 team in
but if another team wins the ACC, an 11-1 miami will def make an at large bid
we still have enought national relevance
i prefer we win out, and gt/uva play for the acc championship and we just rest up for the first round

I actually heard 2 or 3 different analysts talking about this scenario last week...however I think its kind of BS.

IF...IF GT and UM played against each other as undefeated teams in the ACCCG, there's no way the loser got left out.

There are three "likely" ways if we win out that aren't hoping for miracles:

Scenario 1 - Probably the best chance out of all these
-GT loses vs Pitt
-Louisville loses vs SMU/Clemson

Scenario 2
-UVA loses 2 games
-GT loses to Pitt

Scenario 3
-UVA Loses 2 games
-Louisville loses to SMU/Clemson

Or, as you said, any of these teams could drop unexpected games along the way.

The funny thing is the ACC probably has the most chance to impact Miami's playoff hopes at 11-1.

If Georgia Tech goes undefeated, beating UGA, then goes to the ACCCG and loses against an 11-1 Louisville/UVA Miami is probably left out. The SEC/BIG10 wouldn't have a problem with three 11 win teams. The ACC would.

Outside of that, it would be tough for teams outside the ACC to keep Miami out of the #8 or #7 spot. There's just not enough left for the teams above us that wouldn't harm the team below us.

If we lose another game but get in and win ACCCG (it’s possible), what would we need to happen.

if we lose another game, it becomes nearly impossible to get into the ACCCG. wed be basically eliminated at that point and will be playing for more life size pop tarts
 
(1) Win Out and go 11-1
(2) UVA drops 3 games. Decent chance they drop at least 2 out of their next 5.
(3) GT losses to NCST and Pitt. Losing to UGA would eliminate them from CFP at 9-3.
(4) Louisville losses to 2 of Cal, Clemson, and SMU.

To make the playoffs by running the table?
Be a better troll

We rooted for 2 things
Teams in front of us to lose to get a top 4 seed and or enough cushion for a 2nd loss

I was asking what else we should be rooting for to improve our chances, even if we run the table.

There is not 1 senerio an 11-1 isn't a lock for the playoffs
If you meant a bye at 11-1 or getting in with 2 loses

Explain how an 11-1 team ranked 5-7 in playoff poll the last week would drop out of top 12 in that senerio
