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

If ND and USF bomb, that would be enough for some shenanigans. If there is any way to **** Miami, they will do it. Add an undefeated G Tech losing the ACCCG close to a 1 loss team and you have the perfect storm.

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

We were ranked 13th end of last season losing 2 of our last 3 and no "big wins"
It's possible to get in with 2

They could both lose every other game and 11-1 gets you in

Should, for sure. In reality, there is a huge financial incentive to limit the ACC to one playoff team.

I think an 11-1 UM would almost certainly end the season somewhere in the top 6, so even if we miss the ACCCG we'd make the CFP.
10-2 and no ACCCG is where we'd need a ton of help and still we probably don't get in (like last season).

have to go 6-0 to control our destiny, win and win big no pulling in the horns and running 25 straight dive plays

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

How are you going to fit 3 ACC teams into the playoffs? Louisville or UVA would be in automatically. GT would be 12-1, win over UGA, and only loss in a conference championship game.

Based on today's rankings and the above scenario these 10 teams are in:
Louisville/UVA - autobid
GT
USF - autobid
Ohio State
Texas A&M
Bama
Oregon
Indiana
Ole Miss
BYU/Texas Tech - autobid

These teams are/would be bubble teams:
Notre Dame
UGA
Miami
Vanderbilt

Do you think Miami is a lock to get in here? What if Missouri wins out and beats Texas A&M and A&M only has 1 loss? My point is, Miami would not be a lock in this scenario at 11-1, even if it is somewhat wild.

100% lock
They aren't going to drop 5-7 spots in a week because UL wins ACC

They don't pick a team to take out the 12th team falls out

It's not possible. We're not making the ACCCG with 2 losses. If we lose another game, we're not going to Charlotte and we're 99.99% not going to the CFP.

I do wonder how the committee would view a 10-2 Miami vs 10-2 ND. They probably would rationalize getting ND in because our win happened at the first game of the season.

All these what if are really about a 10-2 Miami team
I think they would be in 10-14 range

Yup. And they’re ND. We’re out.

And last year it was all about wins. We didn’t get in because we didn’t beat anyone. But with ND, the narrative will be they only had 2 close losses to 10-2 Miami and likely 1 or most 2 losses A&M.

If ND is 10-2, they’re in. It’ll be the shock of my lifetime if the committee doesn’t let them in. At the end of the day, this is a television show. They’re not killing off ND before the pilot if they can help it.
 
I disagree with many of my esteemed colleagues here. Miami is a big draw. We still get in with 2 losses....but don't get me wrong I don't think we lose another game. There is no way Beck plays that poorly again.
There will be an ESPN 30 for 30 in about 10 years about this team. We will find out Beck learned 5 minutes before gametime StateFarm only offered $2500 for the Lambo he had stolen in Miami.
Boom.
