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

rascon said:
So the real doomsday scenario is that UNT/Tulane winner is in.
Duke wins ACC
James Madison loses to Troy
UNLV loses to Boise State.

Who gets in then as the last G5 champ? Duke by default?

The fact that this is a legitimate question tells you how badly structured cfb is right now.

The sec/big/nd have muscled their way into 80% of the spots and given scraps to the ACC/big12/g5 teams.

This unbalance has created the opportunity for weird scenarios like the one you meant above.

-Beat the one at the very bottom by 3
-One score game against Florida the entire game until 5:00 left in the 4th
-Beat Auburn by 6 points

SEC! SEC! SEC!

Beat ND because of a missed holding on the final play.

2017 Miami clone
 
How I'd probably have the rankings:

1. Ohio St
2. Indiana

3. Oregon
4. UGA
5. Texas Tech

6. Texas A&M
7. Miami
8. Notre Dame
9. Ole Miss
10. Oklahoma

11. Alabama
12. Vanderbilt
13. BYU

14. Texas
15. USC
16. Virginia
17. Utah

Then for the Rest of the Playoff Hopefulls: Tulane > Duke > JMU > North Texas

Why Oregon so high?
 
Betting markets have
ND - 385 to make playoffs
and
BYU +385 to beat TTU


Well we know what the betting odds are saying...
The Ranking will be
8 OU
9 ND
10 Bama
11 BYU
12 Miami...

so, they will be the 1st ever, that I am aware of to not drop a single spot after a CC Championship loss?

If they rank ahead of us they wont drop.
If the committee wants to make them have a play-in game they'll just rank us ahead of them. Then there is no drama if they lose cause they were already on outside looking in.

agree they should for themselves, but I see no way they don't drop a spot with a loss, unless its a crazy OT loss with a 10-2 deserving team behind them.

I feel no way SMU wouldn't have been dropped out last year had there been a deserving team to put in
 
we need a byu loss to Texas Tech and either a alabama sec title (would jump ND), or an Alabama gets beat by 3+ touchdowns to UGA


no way in **** we're taking Oklahoma or ND's spot
 
You’ll never have an objective cfp committee with the committee knowing the teams associated with the results.

This will sound crazy but I really think that the committee should be kept insulated from the world from late august to early December so they have no idea what teams are playing.
Basically force them to stack and rack these teams based only on the stats (no knowledge of who’s who).

I have a feeling that the rankings would be wildly different from what they’ve put out there and quite frankly more objective. In that scenario I’m confident Miami would be ahead of ND (amongst other changes).
