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

[Canestomp]

Committee praying we lose one of the next two so they don't have to make this decision.

As for me, I am praying for utter chaos--top to bottom. Just whatever. I want surprises and crazy ****. Unforeseen blowouts, coaching crash outs; ****--mustard bottles, why not? Pandemonium.

Yea but Oregon would drop below us. Oregon has no ranked wins. Their resume isn’t great. They’d have played two currently ranked teams and lost both of them.

Oregon and USC would just be swapping a playoff spot. That game won't benefit us.

Nd plays two **** teams… down the stretch. But there not looking to take nd out. It’s either oregons spot or alabamas or win the acc.

Utah and BYU still exist. They’ve done nothing. 3 9-3 SEC teams were ranked above 10-2 BYU last year.

Houston being so far below Utah is a sick ****** joke

 

[canadacanes]

Both things can be true

No. Miami play like booty cheeks. Refs can suck but that is not close to why they lost - just stop it.

Good losses is such ridiculous metric to use lmao

Last year they blamed us for losing to Syracuse while discounted Alabama losing to unranked Vandy & OU. It’s all voodoo vibes bro.

 

[The U is back to work]

Them leaving Tennessee top 22 means that if Vandy beats them they’ll leapfrog us again I guarantee it. We are goin to need some losses by some teams or they will not put us in.

And the other thing is, both our Ls are against 7-3 teams and were thisclose.

They’re talking like we lost to a horrible FSU team or something.

Oh wait, that’s a different 8-3 team that’s ahead of us.

Shullbit.

 

[Juanka]

They would jump ND too right? Isn’t that how it works

I don't think so. That's ND's only good win. Against USC. If anything, I think it's better for us if USC loses.

It won’t but it wouldn’t hurt us per se. Unless it moves ND further up. Again we have a common opponent vs USC. Either way, I don’t think USC wins.

 

[CaneandAbel]

USC would jump us

At some point that ND win would have to work in our favor. I'm banking on that giving us the edge in the rankings since that is the common opponent.

I think 2 loss Oregon stays ahead of us if their only 2 losses are IU and USC.

 

[CanesNation26]

They moved them below to create buffer to say not in same tier so no head 2 head

This is exactly right. Even though Bama has far better wins than ND, their made-up "within three-games" rule would only apply if ND were ranked 10, so they put Bama at 10 and ND at 9 despite Bama's far better resume. Absolutely insane.

We need to jump some teams before that game. A buffer between us and Vandy would help.

 

[305407cane]

Greg Mcilroy or whatever on espn just said that you’re looking for a point of comparison for Miami and Notre Dame and that common opponent is Pitt…..

If only there was a MORE DEFINITIVE point of comparison between Miami and ND…………..

Oh man that Alabama education rearing its head

That team has 4 ranked wins, including the best win in the country (@UGA)

And ranking Mizzou to pad OU’s resume when they beat them this week.

 

[ST26]

I think 2 loss Oregon stays ahead of us if their only 2 losses are IU and USC.

according to the committees logic, they’d be ahead of USC too right. Head to head doesn’t matter. Or does that only apply to us

 

[Juanka]

At some point that ND win would have to work in our favor. I'm banking on that giving us the edge in the rankings since that is the common opponent.

I would hope so, but it would be back-to-back wins against ranked opponents for them, so I'm not sure.

 

[doctor dingleberry]

Lots of scenarios can play out. Nothings guaranteed.

Committee is still saying “prove it” to us. We all know it would be classic Miami to lose to Pitt.

We handle business and everything stayed the same, we’d jump BYU/Utah. There may be even enough media pressure to make them do something they don’t want to do.

Just win. It’s the best thing for this program, whether we get in or not. Win 10 games.

 

[deezydinh]

You guys are optimistic but I didn’t hear any optimism with anything they said. We gotta move up to 10 and everyone in front of us has a cupcake schedule
