The Orange Bowl

[drewm3i]

Honestly this is very viable and if we win out, we have a real shot of going to the Orange Bowl especially after a good showing against FSU. This would be awesome and I hope we finally catch a break! We would pack the place for sure.

 

[C A N E]

In addition to favorable results, style points will matter. The key will be whether or not we blow out UVA and Pitt, and whether or not GA tech puts up a good game vs the noles in the championship.

In short, while hypothetically plausible, too many things have to fall our way.

ufayg is going to beat fsu. They will be playing at an emotionally mega high level, and fsu won't be able to pull that 2nd half nonsense like they did with us and everyone else.

Yeah, based on the spectacular finish uf had vs S. Carolina, makes complete sense, no way fsu could come back on them.


//SMFH

Yeah, because clearly the emotionally mega high level that Franchise was discussing was present in the USC game. Do you try to be this dense or does it come naturally?

Another stupid one I see.
Did you type that while spooning with her?

CFB PLAYOFF OVERVIEW



College football has entered a new four-team playoff era. The format is simple: the best four teams, two semifinals played in bowl games and a championship game played in a different city each year. It’s the biggest innovation in the sport in decades.

Every Game Counts
The new playoff preserves the excitement and significance of college football’s unique regular season where every game counts.


The Best Four Teams
The selection committee will choose the four teams for the playoff based on strength of schedule, head-to-head results, comparison of results against common opponents, championships won and other factors.


Best of All Worlds
The new postseason structure creates an exciting four-team playoff that preserves the best regular season in sports and protects America’s rich bowl tradition. It does not go too far; it goes just the right distance and respects the academic calendar while limiting the number of games played by student-athletes.


A New Year’s Spectacular
Fans will enjoy back-to-back triple headers. Two semifinals and four other premier bowl games will be played on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. Those holidays will belong to college football. Semifinal games will rotate among six different bowls, extending the experience to more fans.


Championship Monday
The championship game will be on Monday night every year.


Universal Access
Every FBS team has equal access to the playoff based on its performance. No team will qualify automatically.


More Revenue
The popularity of the new format will increase revenue for all conferences and independent institutions.


The FBS Conferences Manage the College Football Playoff
The FBS conferences manage the College Football Playoff. All 10 conferences are members of the new entity–CFP Administration, LLC. University presidents and chancellors from all 10 conferences and Notre Dame form the Board of Managers and govern the administrative operations, with commissioners (the Management Committee) managing the event with guidance from an advisory group of athletics directors. A small staff in the playoff office in Irving, Texas, carries out the detailed responsibilities.


Selection Committee
A talented group of high-integrity individuals with experience as coaches, student-athletes, collegiate administrators and journalists, along with sitting athletics directors, comprise the selection committee. The group will create rankings seven times each year. The members of the selection committee are: Jeff Long (chair), Barry Alvarez, Mike Gould, Pat Haden, Tom Jernstedt, Oliver Luck, Archie Manning*, Tom Osborne, Dan Radakovich, Condoleezza Rice, Mike Tranghese, Steve Wieberg and Tyrone Willingham.
*On health-related leave of absence for the 2014 regular reason.


Selection Committee Responsibilities

• Select the top four teams for the playoff, rank them and assign them to semifinal sites.
• Rank the next group of teams to play in other New Year’s bowls if berth are available.
• Select the highest-ranked champion from the five conferences without New Year’s bowl contracts.
• Assign teams to New Year’s bowls
  • Create competitive matchups
  • Attempt to avoid rematches of regular-season games and repeat appearances
  • Consider geography

Participants in the New Year’s Bowls
Both participants in the Orange, Rose and Sugar Bowls are contracted outside the playoff arrange*ment (Big Ten and Pac-12 to Rose Bowl; SEC and Big 12 to Sugar Bowl; ACC to Orange Bowl against the highest ranked available team from the SEC, Big Ten and Notre Dame). If a conference champion qualifies for the playoff, then the bowl will choose a replacement from that conference. When those bowls host the semifinals and their contracted conference champions do not qualify, then the dis*placed champion(s) will play in the other New Year’s bowls.
The Fiesta, Cotton and Peach Bowls will host displaced conference champions and the top-ranked champion from a non-contract conference. The highest-ranked available teams will fill any other berths. The Selection Committee will make the pairings

Given what I posted in red above, I could see a Miami - Notre Dame matchup.

Yeah, based on the spectacular finish uf had vs S. Carolina, makes complete sense, no way fsu could come back on them.

Yeah, because clearly the emotionally mega high level that Franchise was discussing was present in the USC game. Do you try to be this dense or does it come naturally?

It's OK, you just completely missed the point of his post. You should man up, admit your post made no sense, and move on but we know you're too dumb to do that.

 

[Paranos]

Miami needs to absolutely hammer UVA and PITT by 28pts each for the orange bowl scenario to happen an get UM at least ranked 25th.

Go Canes

All Folden fans are notoriously dopey. They share the bond of low cognitive functioning.

 

[SmokeyRone]

Baby!

That is the newest talking points from the slurpers (after "we are going to win out!" after UL, NU, GT and Free Shoes)

Orange Bowl bound! Who woulda thunk it? BCS bowl for losing to every team with a pulse we played?

 

[tsimonitis]

There are a bunch of people who know this process a lot better than I do, so I wanted to throw this out there:

If North Carolina beats Duke tonight, Notre Dame beats Louisville at home on Saturday, Georgia beats Georgia Tech, and South Carolina beats Clemson, would we be going to the Orange Bowl?

In that scenario, Georgia Tech would go the ACCCG against Florida State and probably lose. All of those teams would fall out of the rankings, with Miami creeping back up. The highest ranked team at the end of all of it could be Miami.

I realize this is pie-in-the-sky, and that if all those things happen, Miami will probably lose to Pittsburgh or something like that. But do we have a reason to care about the game tonight?

UVA and Pitt won't be as easy as we think

[SmokeyRone]

RANKED? When have we been ranked thsi season?

 

[TRock305]

Pinstripe.

 

[datcaneguy]

I never seen a coach get more oppurtunities at championship games for being mediocre than Golden. And in the Golden way he blows every opportunity

I'm confused. I was looking for a site for fans of the Miami Hurricanes?

All of it is plausible, although we might need ND to lose @USC (which certainly isn't unlikely).
