Never tracked live betting odds on a team making the playoff before lol but seems that fanduel has a big difference from other books all around. Texas is sitting at +900 on a few and like you said not even listed on DK. Miami is pretty much +550 on most as well.

I mean what she’s saying is kinda right. Why have any faith that the committee is going to all of a sudden rank us ahead of ND. The committee has told us they don’t care about the head to head. Should they do the right thing and rank us ahead? Obviously. Will they? Absolutely not


It’s plain and simple what needs to happen tonight. We have to be ranked 10th or else it’s officially over. Tonight is the night we basically find out for good. Unless Bama loses by 50 on Saturday, we aren’t passing them with 3 losses

I still have faith in my little heart that they were waiting for Miami to show consistency. Likely not, but a man can hope.

You really think they’ll all of a sudden drop ND down 3 spots tonight? I don’t buy it, but I hope to god I get proven wrong

We'll be ****ed, Texas will cry, vandy will cry and TrumpyCane thinks they'll use it as justification to expand the playoffs again

Might as well follow the FCS model of their playoff system then. Top 24 teams go at it. Top 8 get a bye with the next 16 team going at it to set up the next round and so on.

I was talking to @Da Jumbo Mutombo about this in another thread and figured I’d share my line of thinking. If the committee was smart and wanted to save themselves from an insane amount of criticism, then this is what they SHOULD do tomorrow night:

#9 — Miami
#10 — Notre Dame
#11 — Bama
#12 — BYU

Why is this perfect?

1) Miami is given their flowers for beating ND. 90% of the CFB universe would argue this is a good move.

2) ND is STILL in the playoff. Their fans will be irritated for a second, but they will eventually acknowledge that it’s a rational decision. They will also be happy to still be in the playoff.

3) BYU / Bama have an opportunity to prove themselves — win your conference title games and you’re IN the playoff, bumping Miami and ND out. Both fan bases will be frustrated, but they will still control their own destiny. If they lose, they have no one to blame but themselves.

4) The committee is no longer boxed in with Bama. The problem with leaving them at #10 is they are in the playoff no matter what, even if they lose in the SEC championship game. You cannot punish a team for getting there. And even if you disagree with me about that line of thinking, it will never happen. But that’s why bumping them down one spot to #11 solves all of their problems. Now Bama can lose and they can keep them out of the playoff. It wouldn’t be a punishment anymore because they were already on the outside looking in to begin with. And after their performance the last few weeks, this isn’t a hard sell. They are not playing good football right now, so they should fall in the rankings. If they are good enough to beat UGA, then they will earn a spot back in.

5) Everything I just said above holds true for BYU. Reward them for beating Tech. If it happens, they will have earned the right to be in the playoff.

This all makes way too much sense to me. It’s a solution that would create the least amount of controversy, so, naturally, it won’t happen. The only two fan bases that will want to burn everything to the ground are Vandy and Texas.

Vandy is 10-2 without beating a single team that will finish the season ranked. At the end of the day, that’s what holds them back. Beating an 8-4 Tennessee team — who didn’t beat single power 4 team with a winning record — headlines their resume. That’s not good enough to jump any of the teams mentioned above.

Texas has 3 losses — one of them to a Florida team that we body bagged. I agree that they shouldn’t be punished for losing to Ohio State, and, in my opinion, they aren’t. Instead, you are punishing them for that Florida loss and the overtime wins against two terrible teams in Kentucky and Miss. State. They are not a consistent team, which means they don’t deserve a playoff spot.

What do you all think? @DMoney, if you’re right about Miami getting in, then I believe this is the most likely path for us.

It’s not happening. Stop doing it to yourselves. It’s not fair but the whole system is rigged. Miami has zero room for error each year. It’s known

This is a weak defense of Mario but the truth is Miami is the most NFL-like team in cfb. Mario coaches with that mentality. NFL teams don’t typically keep their foot on the pedal once they get a big lead. They go conservative to avoid big mistakes and use up the clock. Yes once in a blue moon that strategy bites the team in the *** like with Falcons v Patriots. But the 5000 other nfl games over the years where teams got a lead, went conservative, and won are forgotten about.

Well, that's fine. He coaches like an NFL coach.

Then let him take that **** to the NFL.
