Exactly, and everything year by year is circumstantial.. SMU last year did not lose 1 ACC regular season game .. only the conference champ .. giving them 11-2 over 9-3 bama for last spot.. that’s a whole different scenario then what BYU may be in if they lose to Tech again by multiple scores.Yea, losing by 3+ scores should be weighted way more heavily as a negative. I mean, comparing a team that lost two games, one by 3 and another in OT, to a team that got blown out should be seen as equal.
I know they said they don't punish teams for making a conference championship game but if they lose to Texas Tech again by multiple scores then they should be out of the conversation.
We all know committee doesn’t value wins.unless they move ND up a spot...
Sure looked like Syracuse just laid down yesterday. But we all know the Committee won't say that.
There is not a chance in **** that Vanderbilt is jumping us. I’m sorry I know people are paranoid, but it just doesn’t work that way, even for these corrupt *** *******. Vanderbilt metrics all stayed the same or went down relative to Miami after yesterday and currently their only win against the top 25 team is Missouri at number 22 and they will fall out. Yes they have Tennessee, but that won’t count as a win until it does next week and even if Tennessee moves from number 20 to something like 17 on Tuesday night by virtue of Vanderbilt, beating them, they will drop back to like 22 or so so it’s all a wash.If we jump Utah watch Vandy jump both of us to keep ND at a distance
When Michigan beats OSU again things will certainly be funI expect the following on Tuesday based on playoff odds:
1. Ohio State
2. Indiana
3. Texas A&M
4. Georgia
5. Oregon
6. Texas Tech
7. Ole Miss
8. Oklahoma
9. Notre Dame
10. Alabama
11. BYU
12. Miami
13. Vanderbilt
14. Utah
15. Texas
16. Michigan
17. Irrelevant onward
Small Chance Vandy jumps us temporarily, but they’re dogs in Knoxville on Saturday. I wouldn’t be shocked if they kept TTech ahead of Oregon.
Approximate consensus lines
SMU -10.5 @ Cal
OU -11 vs. LSU
Alabama -4.5 @ Auburn (Deuce Knight legacy game loading)
Virginia -11 vs. VT
Duke -3.5 vs. Wake
Tennessee -3.5 vs. Vandy
BYU -16.5 @ UCF
OSU -12.5 @ Michigan
A&M -2.5 @ Texas
Utah -13.5 @ Kansas
Ole Miss -8 @ Miss St
Will be the weekends only upset, recementing the continuation of the annual curse set upon usWhen Michigan beats OSU again things will certainly be fun
Quads have been explained.A couple of things. One I don’t think the committee has defined what these groups/pools/quadrants are. Ie., is it 1-4, 5-9 or 1-3,4-6, 1-4, 5-7,8&9….whatever. You’re just buying into the narrative. We could be ranked 1 behind ND and they could say we’re in different groups. They’ve tipped their hands that ND is getting in unless Stanford beats them. Second, we need someone else to drop, but even that isn’t a sure thing because if Bama drops a 3rd and Texas beats #3 they’ll push Texas ahead of us in a heartbeat. Our only real chance is to get lucky, back into the ACCCG and win it.
Regardless they knew all of this coming in. They gladly ate up the media attention during the 3 week bye period/FSU game and then came out and laid an egg against Louisville and then played like **** against Stanford and even more embarrassingly got beat by a glorified G5 SMU team. I’m glad they started playing better because I’m told they’re not doing much different as far as play calling.
Our chance to get in goes through Charlotte. Otherwise they need to do what they can to get to 11 wins and just push the we got cheated narrative in the offseason. I’d also drop the ND game and any other OOC that isn’t a guaranteed 40 point win.
They will move the goal posts before putting us ahead of ND
Quads have been explained.
1-4 are teams with a bye
5-8 teams hosting
9-12 playoff teams not hosting
The only question i have is wording used by the committee.Yup...I am going by what has only been stated
By the committee? Because I hsvent heard them explain this. I’ve heard the talking heads explain it but even they dont consistently list what the breakdown of who is in what group.Quads have been explained.
1-4 are teams with a bye
5-8 teams hosting
9-12 playoff teams not hosting
We also need Michigan to lose. If 2 loss Michigan beats Ohio state, you can guarantee they are jumping usUtah is done, they are +650 to make the playoff now. Going by the odds we are similar to vandy which makes me think we will stay at 13 and get jumped by vandy based on the fact we do have a punchers chance for ACC ship now.
Regardless in the at large conversation we need OU or bama to lose and I think vandy losing to Tennessee and BYU losing B12 ship will take care of itself
The only question i have is wording used by the committee.
From what I recall, he said, if we are in the same quadrant then the H2H will be placed a "premium".
This doesnt automatically mean we go ahead of them.
While I agree with you with what should happen, I think that language used by him leaves a door open for them to just do whatever they want.
TX, too. They would love to add a Manning to the playoffs. Will use their schedule as justification for 3 losses.We also need Michigan to lose. If 2 loss Michigan beats Ohio state, you can guarantee they are jumping us
