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

[NC_Canes_11]

This model means virtually nothing. They have JMU at 52.4% when JMU literally has 2-3% chance of making the playoffs (if Duke wins out and wins the ACC-CCG).

Tulane and North Texas are the group 5 teams that matter. Tulane beat ECU, northwestern and Duke. North Texas beat navy. Louisville beat JMU.

Idk how their tiebreakers work; right now Tulane and north Texas are in a 4 way tie with navy and ECU. ECU winning the CCG; along with Duke winning the CCG; would give JMU a chance.

Army went 12-1; winning the American with a their only loss being against notre dame; and didn’t get in.

JMU currently has the best odds bc if they win out they’ll be the G5 representative

Mario just needs his guys.

No.

I’m saying that we likely make the acccg if it were 9’conference games assuming we going 7-2.

removing the divisions was idiotic

 

[NC_Canes_11]

ND at 61.2% is interesting, given who they finish with.

Bc you can’t assume they win the next 2 games. That’s factored in.

We scored 4 TDs on offense yesterday against the 119th ranked scoring defense in CFB.

5. No one including the guys calling the game and the official in the booth could find the phantom illegal shift. No one could figure it out. Like Francis’ hold on the guy who just fell down at SMU…..

it will be telling if they rightfully move us over vandy
they were 8-2 with a worse resume but an extra win
now we both 8-2, we should be ahead of them

 

[Rpielag]

This is how we make the CFP. Lets hope Narduzzi meant what he said

Although i still think we should make it over ND if both 10-2.

If SMU loses we are still below because we lost head-to-head?

 

[tdjones34]

no his teams have to be near perfect
must be nice to get blown out by FSU, lose another game and be in
or lose to Mario with same record and get in

I like your thinking, but they play Stanford and Syracuse.
78% chance to win each game is a little light, no?

 

[tdjones34]

means almost nothing

 

[grover]

Lmao I mean they own the playoff so

Actually, not correct. Per Wikipedia:

Pitt>GT
SMU splits last 2.
Duke splits last 2
UVA/VT may not matter depending on what happens with Stanford/Cal & BC/Syracuse.

The committee wants us in, Trumpycane will die on that hill

You can have so many storylines with Miami in

Beck v UGA
Mario v Oregon
Miami v ND II
Miami v OU history there
Miami v Indiana, Mendoza v childhood team

We bring in eye balls hate is or love us

Mario needs to go full Urban Meyer at UF and start stating UM's case for the CFP. Our case is logically and reasonably sound and hard to argue against when laid out. *

*This only works if he can exorcise his own demons and win out.

everyone associated with the program needs to spend the next two weeks yelling that

"Miami will NOT play at Notre Dame next year if both teams win out and Notre Dame is selected and not Miami.

If that occurs, it proves beyond a doubt that ACTUALLY WINNING A GAME AGAINST COMPETITION is meaningless"

I’m sure the computers probably have a few scenarios where we get one behind them and junk them. Also the chance TT loses in the Big 12 game and them and the winner gets in.

It was ticky tack bs. They all moved and Jojo wasn’t set for a full one count before Bauman went in motion. By the rule it was a penalty. Though there is normally some grace given. That said attention was drawn to it because our slow *** pace had the clock at 5 or so before they shifted and he went in motion. It looked frantic and that’s what drew attention and the flag. If we get set with 12-15 seconds left he motions without issue and it’s a TD.

I think you missed a few excuses. Injuries, bye weeks, refs, Manny, coordinators, Friday games, acc pride. You're doing a great job.

Us and USC should jump Utah and Vandy this week. Honestly BYU too....

IF that happens then there is hope. Maybe they see 3 games of holding an opponent under 150 yards and the offense coming together against a team over .500 as “what they’re looking for”.

But with Utah and BYU splattering their opponents I don’t see it. Jumping Vandy isn’t happening. They’re SEC.

 

[OldhamA]

we aren't afforded the luxury of getting curb stomped by FSU or losing 2 as every other team is
ACC is a joke with unbalanced schedule to determine championship game
but still see many paths in at 10-2

Whoever decided to get rid of the Divisions needs to have their balls ripped off.
