The case is closed

I was talking more about Ole Miss. Tamu has the win at ND.

For a 2 loss team, OU should be on thin ice, but yet I turn on my tv after they beat lame duck coaches LSU on a blown coverage and see confetti graphics flying saying they clinched? Was that a championship game? They somehow "clinched" because ESPN said so? 20 seconds after the final whistle? I thought you "Clinch" when the committee says your in? But somehow a 4 pt. win over a backup qb led, 5-loss team makes you "clinch".

OU's fluke win at Bama (Bama owned the game, weird turnovers, etc hurt em) is really what sucks here. All 3 of them shouldn't deserve to be in, but the way H2H fell and Ole Miss not having to play in the SEC ship…is a perfect storm to f**k UM

exactly

My guess

6. TAMU
7. Ole Milss
8. ND
9. OU
10. Alabama
11. Miami
12. BYU

At this point, BYU ranking doesn’t matter. They are win and in or lose and still out so a move up to 11 for Miami is what the committee will do to “calm” the masses.

But point blank, the committee will say a team shouldn’t be dropped for losing their conference championship game, so they will protect Alabama there with a loss and you now add OU to the Miami buffer away from ND.

I could see them moving ND up in front of OM based on the coaching change, BUT they won’t move OM further down unless Alabama wins the conference championship.

Only metric ND rank ahead of us in is hair paint (gal) used/game

Was gonna say old boomers also loving them and hating Miami

if the resume is trash, you out of gas ... or somethin like that

If you lost to the Seminoles, your resume has got a gaping hole.
If you lost your coaching staff, your optimism should be cut in half.
If you can’t score, you can’t get in the backdoor.

We are not getting in over Alabama. They have the best win in college football according to the committee and are playing for the championship in the conference they say is the best. Yall need to let that go. It’s gonna be between us, ND, BYU, Oklahoma and Vandy. Gotta know the game

The also have the worst loss but everyone seems to ignore that

Miami and ND would both beat OU easily. OU has the 79th ranked scoring offense and is 91st in YPG. Their home crowd was booing them Saturday and Venebales was stroking out as they eeked out a win at home against a coachless LSU team with no QB that managed 9 first downs and 198 yards of offense. 26% of their offense and virtually all of their scoring was two massively blown coverages by LSU where the safety was nowhere to be found. OU has zero shot of even winning a first round game.

I couldn’t believe LSU couldn’t hold on.

Mateer has been a shell of his former self. I think he had 2-3 picks that game too

He was god awful on Saturday. That was such a maddening game to watch.

His 2 TDs were on a screen pass that the WR took 45 yards, and a 60 yard TD where LSU literally didn't cover the kid. Total bust, there was no one within 25 yards of the receiver. Kirby Freeman completes that pass 100 times out of 100 for a TD. But before that throw, he was under 60% completions for 7 yards per attempt and 3 picks.

Start the law suits against the ACC and the Bull **** committee. We played by the rules now they have to play by the rules.

One play. We lost because of one play, one busted coverage. Terrible.

 

[rascon]

What should also be spoken out is Narduzzi words before the ND game.
He said something to the effect that ND could beat them by 100 and he would be okay because he was focused on the next two games after that.
Therefore, Pitt gave the game to ND and didn’t really try to win.
Pitt desperately tried to beat Miami

What happened?

Miami beat a MOTIVATED Pitt worse than ND beat a Pitt team that stated for the record they didn’t care how bad they got beat by ND.

Context matters when you compare teams common opponents.

I'm not scared to admit i cried watching that game

 

[Brains]

Better offense and defense than Oklahoma's.

[skeeter]

Ehhh not sure about that the defenses are at least a wash. Gun to my head I may even choose Sooners with K.Scott gone, but it's honestly very close. We are definitely the better offense.

 

[SCarolina Ibis]

When Mario came on, they briefly brought up BYU just to say there are not common opponents. I wish Mario had corrected them because we DO have a common opponent.

We beat Stanford 42-7. BYU beat them 27-3.

 

[terdferguson]

I might have thrown some ****.

How about when Auburn fumbled to end the game driving deep in Bama territory? I'm still shell shocked by the shear amount of individual plays and games that went against us.

 

[TwentySix]

I might have thrown some ****.

Every. God****. Game.

My things is there are 3 teams projected for college playoffs that had their head coach leave. Like how are they supposed to compete. Having teams go just to get smoked by 4TDs is pointless
