Correct but i think that also works for Miami when trying to jump the likes of Utah and or BYU.

I’d be more inclined to agree with you if Miami wasn’t on the outside looking in right now. ND is already firmly in. They’re going to win the next 2 games by 100 combined points. They’re not going from 8, at worst, to 11, by winning 2 games.

Right, when I talk about Notre Dame, I am saying Miami can say they beat a top 6 or 7 playoff team. Utah nor BYU may be able to say that.

Season 4 Showtime GIF by Billions
 
Simplified for both CFP and ACC-CG

We should be ranked #14 in the CFP this week, jumping Texas. Maybe #13 if we jump Utah (we both beat 5-5 teams, Miami by a bigger margin).


Miami wins out.


Week 13 - Next week:
--Cincy to beat BYU - CFP
--Mizzou to beat OK - CFP (only need 1 OK loss)
--Syracuse to beat ND - CFP (only need 1 ND loss)
--K-State to beat Utah - CFP (only need 1 Utah loss)
----------
--Louisville to beat SMU - ACC-CG (need 2 SMU losses)
--UNC to beat Duke - ACC-CG (only need 1 Duke loss)
--Pitt to beat GaTech - ACC-CG


Week 14 - Final week:
--TN to beat Vandy - CFP
--LSU to beat OK - CFP (only need 1 OK loss)
--Stanford to beat ND - CFP (only need 1 ND loss)
--Kansas to beat Utah - CFP (only need 1 Utah loss)
--Auburn to beat Alabama - CFP
----------
--VaTech to beat UVa - ACC-CG
--Cal to beat SMU - ACC-CG (need 2 SMU losses)
--Wake to beat Duke - ACC-CG (only need 1 Duke loss)


For ACC purposes, the above outcomes would leave 4 teams tied with 6-2 ACC records, GaTech, UVa, Pitt, and Miami.

USC and Oregon is interesting. I think, we would prefer Oregon wins? Gets USC off our back?

I think Missouri has a chance to knock off OU. It’s a tough spot for OU after the Bama win.

Kentucky could beat Vandy. They need to if they want to become bowl eligible.

Feel good about Louisville beating SMU. No way a team like them drops 3 in a row.

I don’t see BYU or Utah losing, unfortunately. We just gotta hope our resume is better than theirs if we win out.

Maybe.

But money ahead of them lost. Texas was behind them, bama will likely still be ahead of them, Oklahoma may even jump them

texas lost.. it BYU loses to Cincy next week, Utah drops another, or Vandy loses to Tennessee then we’ll be close enough

BYU still needs to play Cincy. They should win, but it's not an easy W.

What happens in that 4-way tie?

Three (or More) Team Tie

The three (or more) team tiebreaker procedure will be used to either (a) identify one championship game participant, (b) identify both championship game participants, or (c) eliminate team(s) from the tie. If the administration of the three (or more) team tiebreaker results in the elimination of team(s) from the tie, teams remain tied, and both championship game participants have not been determined, the tiebreaker procedure will restart for remaining tied teams.

a. Combined head-to-head win-percentage among the tied teams if all tied teams are common opponents. - This will not apply.

b. If all tied teams are not common opponents, the tied team that defeated each of the other tied teams.
i. If all tied teams are not common opponents and no tied team defeated each of the other tied teams, but a tied team lost to each of the other tied teams, such team shall be eliminated and removed from the tie.

This will be tricky - Miami (assumed) defeats Pitt, but did not play GaTech or UVa. GaTech (assumed) loses to Pitt, but did not play Miami or UVa. UVa plays NONE of Miami, Pitt, or GaTech. Pitt (assumed) defeats GaTech but loses to Miami. THIS TIEBREAKER SEEMS TO FAVOR MIAMI THE MOST OVER THOSE PARTICULAR THREE TEAMS, BUT I MIGHT BE WRONG ON INTERPRETATION.

c. Win-percentage against all common opponents. - This one could be fascinating, if it comes to this. Of these particular 4 teams, the ONLY common opponent was NC State, whom UVa played in a non-conference game. Both GaTech and UVa lost to NC State, and Miami and Pitt beat NC State.

d. Win-percentage against common opponents based upon their order of finish (overall conference win percentage, with ties broken) and proceeding through other common opponents based upon their order of finish. - too early to determine

e. Combined win-percentage of conference opponents. - too early to determine.

f. The tied team with the highest ranking by the Team Rating Score metric provided by SportSource Analytics following the conclusion of regular season games. - I would think this would favor Miami.

g. The participant shall be chosen by a draw as administered by the Commissioner or Commissioner’s designee. - I would think this would favor Miami.
