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

I think we'll pass Vandy on Tuesday. Committee has to be getting us as close to ND as possible so if we both end up with 10-2 records and we have the head to head win, they can put us both in.

I think miami finds itself in the top 10 this week in the CFP.

the committee doesn't need to go in order each week. they can rank it however they want.

Cover 3 podcast said we might not move up at all. Said Texas won’t drop far (I disagree), and that the point gap between Miami, Vandy, and GT was so large that it would take too many voters to ding GT for a bad win (and Vandy for not playing).

Hopefully they continue to correct for that original 18 ranking because we didn’t get a great week chaos-wise. It’s not over yet, but we are running out of time to close the gap.

Utah loses at home by 24 points and is still a better 2-loss team over 2-loss (combined 9 points) Miami?

I know they smacked bad Colorado and Baylor teams, but Miami smacked bad Syracuse and NC State.

I know they beat ranked Cincinnati, but Miami beat Notre Dame.

Makes no sense.

it’s wild af to see all the teams they jumped. After Week 10, they were 6-2 and ranked 24th in both the AP and coaches polls. XII favoritism with Baylor’s AD running the ship boosted them; and now they have their own ****** AD in the room.

Going to be **** near impossible to jump em without a loss. We get ****ed cuz they justify Utah’s ranking by saying they lost close to BYU
 
One thing that could workout in our favor against Utah, and should be in our favor against BYU (given Bama was ranked ahead of us with one more loss last year; and ND is ahead of BYU rn); is the Cincy loss to Arizona was massive. Utah crushed them, when they were ranked, which gave the committee justification for their recency biased approach.

the issue is the point gaps dont matter. David lake said it best - this is all for tv. the committee is going to put its preferred 12 teams in no matter what and they consider miami that based on comments. the rankings each week are just for tv bs. they can come out tomorrow and flip the rankings in reverse from 25 being the new 1 and 1 being the new 25 and it wouldn't matter at the end.

they dont need to go In any rubric bc its all subjective.
 
Last year got me stressed but we have such a better case rn. There is zero reason ND and Bama should be ranked above us. Idc if OU is because they earned it now. Imma bout to crashout if we aren’t tenth or eleventh this week lmao

Miami is on the outside looking in. SEC is getting 5 teams in.

BIG has two locked in.

TT locked in.

Utah or BYU have another.

Then you have ACC champion and ND.

Last spot likely goes to Oregon.

Miami needs a lot of help along with wining out convincingly. That SMU loss was awful

There is no justification for Notre Dame to be in front of Miami.
 
Heather Dinich front page story at ESPN;

8. OU

9. Bama

10. ND

11. BYU

12. Utah

Us and Navy get in as conference champs. But doesn’t give her prediction outside the top 12.



Bros i might crash out if the rankings end up like that. 60 more hours of anxiety **** to go

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.

This sis the problem with having so many teams in conferences. A handful of teams will get the scheduling perk of playing the bottom half of the league. Should we have handled our business. Yes!! But it has created scenarios where teams get to skate by not playing any of the better teams in their conference.

We win out and we are in.. if GT lose the ACCCG, they are out.. though they say CGs won't matter, they will use it to justify dropping them if it comes to that.

We make it because they can't have ND in and us out... with the same record and us having beaten them

It’s actually amazing how many close games went the wrong way for us yesterday. A&M, ole miss, GT were all losing in the 4th quarter. Same for two teams breathing down our neck behind us in USC and Michigan. And USF losing moves them out of the field.

TAMU game was thrown...
SEC protects its cash machines...

Yeah we needed at least one or two games to go our ways

We still have the issue of what if USC beats Oregon? What if Michigan upsets Ohio State? Or Texas against TAMU?

So even if teams lose in front of us we could end up leapfrogged by teams behind us.
