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

This is what we need next week (according to the generator), and we control our own destiny for the ACC championship. Technically, we don't need NCST to beat FSU, but I threw that in there for me.

The OP seems very intelligent. He makes a lot of great points. But here’s my moronic take, if we finish 10-2, we should get in. I don’t care about how the dominoes fall. 2 close losses and one heavily influenced by bad zebras.

I choose not to trust the refs, and I choose not to trust the CFP Committee, particularly with the legal issues facing the (former?) chairman.

If we want definitive "Miami is in" conclusions, those are the games we focus on.

Maybe it will all work out without those games falling our way. That may be true. But I prefer certainty.

Just so demoralizing we are in the position yet again. No one in the ACC has a roster even close to as talented as ours. We are going to be the highest ranked team in the conference and may not even be in the ACC CG.

Yep. One game that we could have won late, or at least sent into OT. A second game that we blew in OT.

Correct, it has tiebreaker implications- If Duke, SMU, and GT lose next week and we win out, regardless of how the last week plays out for everyone else, we end up in the ACC championship.

Root for TCU to have the kind of second half that aTm had today...

End of the day I’m not worried about byu. Texas tech should bury them in the big 12 CG and, despite the “rule” that they won’t ding you for a CG loss, byu doesn’t draw enough eyeballs. No one wants them in. So they won’t be.

I mean, smu was kinda same boat last year and they were in. But then everyone complained about round 1 so bad that they had to change the format/rules. I just don’t see it happening again.

Teams to worry about are those 2 loss SEC/b1g that didn’t lose today like they were supposed to like Oklahoma and USC.

Wouldnt SMU would still have to lose to Cal and/or UVA would still have to lose to VT in the final week. I believe SMU gets in over us in the 2 loss scenario.

Sorry I didn’t get to finish my post because this site is weird and randomly refreshes. I don’t consider any of our losses “bad losses” at all. Louisville and SMU likely finish the season with 8-9 wins. It’s unrealistic to expect us to steamroll everyone every week. I mean, Vandy doesn’t. Oklahoma doesn’t. Ole Miss doesn’t. You get my point.

These talking ESPN assclowns with their vibrating SEC buttplugs continue to skew the rankings and the system to benefit the good ole boys. You’re never going to convince me Vandy, Oklahoma, or even Alabama has a better resume than we currently do. Ole Miss trailed UF for 3 quarters. Texas got their *** kicked by UF. Yet the media doesn’t talk about this, they’re hyper focused on our two terrible no good very bad 3 point losses to teams who were ranked at some point this season. The system is rigged. I’m tired of it,

That is what I thought, but UVA would be the #1 seed, and SMU would lose the tiebreaker to us due to our conference opponent's win percentage. Head-to-head goes out the window with a three/four-time tie, so SMU beating us won't automatically place them ahead.

Again, I am using this -----> https://bball.notnothing.net/acc.php?sport=fb ...as a reference

Interesting. And in a 6 team 6-2 tiebreaker, we would get duke in Charlotte. Unofficially of course bc of that ratings formula.
