The case is closed

[The U is back to work]

And Texas is +60000 and they lost to OSU by 7.

I know but they aren’t a real candidate for the playoff. Even with losses. We are right on the bubble and they are still not giving us much chance meaning to even get in.

Alabama isnt playing good football.

Struggled with South Carolina Clemson just hammered in same stadium.

Beat coachless LSU with backup QB by 11.

Lost at home to OU team with no offense.

Squeked by coachless 5 win Auburn needing a GW drive helped by the refs to win by 1 score.

They are soft, and shouldnt get the Nick Saban favoritism.

They also have worst loss in field to FSU which IMO should disqualify them, I dont give 2 craps if they are 1 seed in SEC. That is due to bloated leagues and unbalanced schedules. Bama avoided Ole Miss, Texas A&M, and Texas.

You are absolutely correct. The fact of the matter is, the SEC is not a conference filled with unbeatable juggernauts like they spin it to be. No team in the SEC has dominated any ACC school this year. They may have won but not dominated. However, a few SEC schools got whooped by ACC schools. UM vs Florida, Bama vs FSU, Kentucky vs Louisville, Clemson vs USC. This is not the SEC of old. Their teams can be beaten by anyone, and it's been proven on the field. Their only advantage is in the media, where their big money partnership with ESPN helps them create narratives.

Your argument is weakened because you make the assumption the criteria list is rank ordered when it’s bulleted. There is no suggestion that each criteria more or less important than other criteria.

The worst team in the ACC over the past couple years, FSU, beat the brakes off the crown jewel of the SEC, Bama. That's the end of the debate.

How about that 4th down play where Ty Simpson did some wild scramble and somehow beat 3 auburn defenders and got the 1st down by a yard. What the **** was that?!?

Voodoo

Bruh. The most unathletic play in sports history somehow results in a first down.

Let’s not forget the LSU QB scrambling to the right and throwing across his body for an interception instead of walking in for a TD against OU. That was the difference in the game

Committee chair going to put Miami @#7 and he's going to tell Reece, "we watched the D$ vid and it convinced us".

BYU, yes. You COULD make an argument that Bama beating UGA helps, because they would jump above ND and UGA wouldn't fall far, thus putting ND and Miami at 10 and 11. Can't spin the head to head there. Of course, the committee will just bump ND above Oklahoma to ***** us.

I don't get it. Miami draws a lot of eyeballs. Why would they not want them in over BYU or Oklahoma?

We want bama to win they won’t exclude an sec loss bama so it’s better that they jump ND

 

[JD4]

We will be #11 tomorrow and first team out

You think we jump byu?

Massive pull by the boys

They actually belong over Oklahoma and Bama as well. ND and Miami belong in the tournament. The AP and ESPN poll pumping the SEC all year ( for 2 decades really) is the backbone of the myth that the SEC was some murders row. Ole Miss only has 1 loss so they are getting a pass unfortunately.

It’s pumped up by fake “quality wins” when teams like mizzou and tenn who didn’t beat anyone some how some way stay ranked all season

Even though Louisville, Pitt, Smu, and UVA all have similar or better records and have beat other P4 teams

 

[Mikeiavelli]

not just notre dame

Nice of them to post this but **** them. Take Duke out of the championship game and put us in. Actions are better than tweets

ACC has to win games OOC, have to. Get no credit for scheduling them, which the ACC does more than any conference. Going 7-19 in the games or whatever it wound up being after this weekend, is the exact reason the conference can gain no traction or respect.

Do not be surprised if the committee has ND jump OU. ND will then be #8 and outside of our tier (I believe 5-8 and 9-12 are separate tiers). The committee will then say the head to head did not factor in because the teams are in different tiers and not directly compared. And we will be #11. Get ready for that BS.

What the **** is a tier? Shouldn’t, I don’t know, records be the tiers? They really just make things up as they go.
