Stewart Mandel projects that we get in under one scenario only

Agree but the committee won’t do it unless it’s back to back most likely. They want ND in.

Based on what? They already moved the goal post once, when they said we weren't in the same pod. They'll just do it again.

Vegas is speaking. Odds for Miami to make the playoffs went from +625 to +350 over the past day or so

If BYU and Bama lose, they will move Bama to #10 and ND to #9. Not only will it keep both in, which is the goal, but it also keeps them from having 2 rematches. A&M is #7 and OU is #8.

Nobody wants to see A&M/ND and Bama/OU again

Here’s a hot take that most Miami fans will disagree with.

If the committee finally decides to flip Miami and ND, on the one week where they didn’t play after all the nonsense the committee has spewed, is a tremendous disservice to ND and the rankings process as a whole (although they clearly don’t care about that).

The story would be ND gets screwed.

I can live with that.

Three weeks ago it was the same pod.
Last week it was back to back.
Next week?

Next week will be first games don’t count because teams just use it as an exhibition because it’s their first full contact in game situations…

You have to admit, after all the talk about Miami-Notre Dame these last few weeks it would be pretty funny if BYU won and we both get left out. At this point, I don’t see that happening but you never know. Honestly, if I could look through a crystal ball and see that they’re 100% going to put Notre Dame in over us, then I’m praying for a BYU win so the Domers get left out. If we don’t deserve to be in, neither do they.

If Bama plays them tight, which they will, they won’t drop with a loss. Why? Because they beat them once so they won’t get penalized.

Ive thought this too but with 3 losses how do they not drop 1 spot. Historically conf champ losers have dropped a spot and its easy for the committee to do because theyd still be in the field. Absolute must bama win, byu loss. If that happens i think the noise has gotten so loud that miami gets in

On Sunday it will be Miami needs to be 5 spots higher than ND for the head to head to matter.

Would Miami be at 10 if they had ND's resume? Answer is **** no.

On Sunday it will be Miami needs to be 5 spots higher than ND for the head to head to matter.

After looking at everything, the committee decided that Miami needed to be over 63% on 3rd downs vs Pitt to get them into the playoffs.

TT wins, 'Bama loses convincingly (out of it early, 2 score loss (min.). It would be loss 3, and FSU, in that scenario, would not be forgotten (??).
