Stewart Mandel projects that we get in under one scenario only

I think the key is Duke winning.....thats it.

The CFP was built on P4 conference tournament, there is no world when not at least one P4 team for each conference is represented in the CFP. The two G5 rule was implemented in as an outlier but not without at least one P4 team represented in the playoffs.

NOW WAY A P4 TEAM IS NOT REPRESENTED IN THE CFP!!!

Just need Duke to win

Another path: Duke Win, JMU Loss, BYU loss. Then I believe an extra at large bid is born because the second group of 5 team (Troy or winner of Bosie St/UNLV won’t be ranked.

Really just need Texas Tech and Bama to win or lose close if that happens they will stay at 9 and Miami and ND will be flipped.
 
Just a note:

No one is talking about the comment made at the very end of the televised interview:

"At the conclusion of the conference championship games, the committee is going to re-rank the entire field of 25"

Who knows what that really means....

Feels like that comment was just building up drama for Sunday's show where we still get left out.

Seriously. Some of you are just delusional. Bama is 100% in no matter what. The SEC championship game loser will never be out.
 
What about this other scenario I keep hearing people like Pate discuss regarding a Duke win over Virginia? The theory being, if Duke wins they obviously won’t put them in, but the committee doesn’t want the black eye of a conference getting completely left out so they would basically be forced to put Miami in at that point. Do you think there’s any merit to this?
