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

Unfortunately, our dreams probably died when GT came back to beat BC and Oklahoma beat Alabama. Those two really hurt us.

If we win out and look like we did today in the process, we'll easily jump both Utah and Vandy. Neither team has a top 25 win, unless they somehow get Missouri in. We'd still have a win over a top 10 ND team.

From there, even if Texas lose to UGA and BYU loses to (take your pick), that only gets us up to #11.

Since the ACCCG and group of 5 winners both get auto bids, we'd be the first team out.

There's a very real chance it comes to us vs ND for the final spot, and I think we all know they'll pick ND.

Yes it does. They were not in the bracket. Now they will be and also Ga Tech will be there too. Only UT will drop out.
Not sure what would happen to Ole Miss if they lose though

These ESPN graphics on playoff chances are baffling. They showed one during the UM game that said UM has like a 16% chance to make the playoff with a WIN. And in this Texas/Georgia game, it said UT has a 27% chance with a LOSS. So let me get this straight—a 7-3 Texas with A&M left on the schedule is twice as likely to make the playoff as an 8-2 Miami?

i pretty sure the % only takes into account if the "season ends" on the next voting, not future schedule.

…if Texas and Ole Miss lose tonight, we have a shot to leapfrog at least one of them, and perhaps both of them. I hate having to root for the Gaytah, but it is what it is.

if ole miss loses we'll jump them.

we wont jump bama but we'd also have a win over a common opponent (FSU) just like we'd have over ole miss (with florida)

  1. Beats Virginia Tech and Pitt
  2. Virginia beats Virginia Tech
  3. Pitt beats Georgia Tech, Duke beats North Carolina, SMU beats Louisville
  4. Cal beats SMU, Wake Forest beats Duke
In this scenario, Virginia (7-1 in ACC) and Miami (6-2) go to Charlotte with four-way tiebreaker advantages over Georgia Tech/Pitt/SMU.
