MEGA There’s Still Hope for the ACCCG/CFB Playoffs Mega Merge Thread

Advertisement
Unfortunately, our dreams probably died when GT came back to beat BC and Oklahoma beat Alabama. Those two really hurt us.

If we win out and look like we did today in the process, we'll easily jump both Utah and Vandy. Neither team has a top 25 win, unless they somehow get Missouri in. We'd still have a win over a top 10 ND team.

From there, even if Texas lose to UGA and BYU loses to (take your pick), that only gets us up to #11.

Since the ACCCG and group of 5 winners both get auto bids, we'd be the first team out.

There's a very real chance it comes to us vs ND for the final spot, and I think we all know they'll pick ND.

I don't know. Apparently they didn't consider our head to head win because we weren't within three spots of Notre Dame. Those were their words. All of that would get us within two of ND, or maybe right behind them.
 
These ESPN graphics on playoff chances are baffling. They showed one during the UM game that said UM has like a 16% chance to make the playoff with a WIN. And in this Texas/Georgia game, it said UT has a 27% chance with a LOSS. So let me get this straight—a 7-3 Texas with A&M left on the schedule is twice as likely to make the playoff as an 8-2 Miami?
 
Just win out and let the chips fall where they may. Really screwed up with our two losses, but it is college football. Anything can happen. Usually doesn't go our way (especially with the refs betting against us), but if we don't win out, we won't have a chance at all.

Those percentages are almost completely meaningless
