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

the real issue is vandy and Utah above us

the ND thing is egregious but as long as we jump vandy and Utah we're okay

Oklahoma will likely lose again, bama likely wont but could lose

even then we're close enough for logic to either win out or the whole system to collapse

Another repost.

A head to head to win should ALWAYS carry more weight than any other metric. Any attempt to justify putting Notre Dame ahead of us SHOULD BE shot down immediately with "Miami beat Notre Dame". Full stop.

"They're a different team now."

Doesn't matter. Miami beat Notre Dame.

"If the game had been played on a neutral field or in South Bend.."

Doesn't matter. Miami beat Notre Dame.

"If they played today, the results would be different."

Doesn't matter. Miami beat Notre Dame.


If beating ND does not hold weight, then what was the point of playing them??

This is where D Rad should say they're considering canceling ND next year and replacing with an FCS school. Why risk injuries on a meaningless game.
 
They do the new rankings tonight? What time/channel? I thought espn but looks like college bball game.

Edit: nevermind it’s 8:30 after the Kentucky game
 
Need Stanford and Syracuse to at least put up some resistance. These are all recent games as common opponents, if ND cant put them away early and blow them out its another feather in our cap.

I know we talk about playing anybody anywhere anytime, but at this point.. why bother?

Indiana's non conference schedule is:
Old Dominion (FCS)
Kennesaw State (Con USA)
Indiana State (FCS)

For their conference schedule, they will have played the bottom 5 teams in the B1G standings and 8 of the bottom 10.

They also beat 6th place, 6-4 Iowa by 5 points.

They are getting into the playoff because they played a joke non conference schedule and a weak conference schedule and had one good win (Oregon).

Scheduling weak opponents and running it up against them is somehow a viable strategy for getting into the playoff.

I swear to God, if Stanford does to ND what Cal almost did to us, the Crying Jordan memes involving the Irish are going to be epic.

what we really need is two things

SMU to lose a game -- them being the ACC champ and IN the playoff and having a win over us would give the committee and excuse to keep us out as the 2nd acc team

Oregon to beat USC -- this makes ND's best win a 3 loss USC team that may be unranked. we would share ND's second best win

honestly that should be enough for any logical person

oklahoma losing to Missouri or LSU would be crucial

BYU losing to cinch

Utah losing a conference title game

vandy losing to Tennessee

honestly the committee should do everything to get both teams in - if they care about ratings

can you imagine week 1 of playoffs #8 ND vs #9 Miami

With 10.8 million viewers on ABC, the week 1 game between Miami and Notre Dame is the 3rd most watched game of the season.

It was the second-most-watched game of Week 1 (behind OSU Texas) and ABC's second-best Sunday opener ever.

The ACC is starting to face the very real possibility no member team gets into the CFP.

Going to be hard to keep teams in conference if that's the case

Maybe the dumbass conference could’ve asked the refs to actually call legit holds and PIs on our opponents. What a novel idea! A conference protecting its most talented team is a foreign concept to the idiotic ACC.

You guys realize that Utah and Vandy over Miami in poll it to make sure Miami is not withing 2-3 spots of ND so they do not have to value head to head. It is a complete scam.

And also to push them as far down as possible so they don’t have to deal with us if we can’t win the ACC. This way they can put GT higher, for example, and say well Miami didn’t win the league and they’re not the highest ranked ACC team. Sorry.
