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

[Juanka]

Cincy needs to do us a solid a beat BYU. If we hammer VT I think we’ll jump Utah. That gets us to 11. Then we just need something silly to happen to someone to get us next to ND.

ND wouldn't need to lose. Their next two opponents are common opponents with us. If Bama rolls the next two weeks (I think they do) they jump ND and ND doesn't match the *** kicking we gave Syracuse and Stanford, I think that would be enough.

1.We blow out Virginia Tech by at least 3 scores
2.USC beats Oregon.
3.Utah and BYU either lose or struggle in their games.

I think we for sure jump Utah in that case but probably not BYU even if they won a close game. But that would put us in that 10-11 spot.

I don’t know why so many of yall wanna act like victim *** ******* on here all day… we win out we are in its that simple it doesn’t matter who else wins or loses.

Their *****ing is valid unless you didn’t watch the ranking. They basically said unless a bunch of ACC teams lose we have no shot. They also said if we don’t make the ACC ship the spot is not ours.

 

[NorthernVirginiaCane]

If we win out we're in, keeping Nd at 9 was big for us too

Where is the a c c champ going to go?If it's not miami

 

[ALLoverCANE]

Good losses is such ridiculous metric to use lmao

Good losses = lack of bad losses

We've come full circle to how Bama et al used to end the season ranked high.

The ACC hasn't figured out that conference scheduling matters.

Games played between bye weeks for the SEC:

Alabama : 3 games (BYE) 5 games (BYE) 4 games
Florida: 4 games (BYE) 3 games (BYE) 5 games
Georgia: 3 games (BYE) 4 games (BYE) 5 games
LSU: 5 games (BYE) 3 games (BYE) 4 games
Oklahoma: 4 games (BYE) 5 games (BYE) 3 games
Tennessee 5 games (BYE) 4 games (BYE) 3 games
Texas: 4 games (BYE) 5 games (BYE) 3 games
Texas A&M: 3 games (BYE) 5 games (BYE) 4 games

Notice how they don't play more than 5 games or fewer than 3 between byes? Most of them have FCS/G5 opponents during their 5 game stretches or after their final bye.

Games played between bye weeks for the ACC:

Cal: 6 games (BYE) 4 games (BYE) 2 games
Clemson: 4 games (BYE) 3 games (BYE) 5 games
Louisville: 2 games (BYE) 3 games (BYE) 7 games
Miami: 4 games (BYE) 1 game (BYE) 7 games
NC State: 7 games (BYE) 2 games (BYE) 3 games
Pitt: 3 games (BYE) 6 games (BYE) 3 games
SMU: 4 games (BYE) 6 games (BYE) 2 games
Virginia: 6 games (BYE) 5 games (BYE) 1 game

3 of those 8 teams play 7 games before or after a bye.
7 of 8 play at least 6 games before or after a bye.
We got our second bye week 2 weeks after our first bye.
Virginia got their second bye one week before their final game of the season.

Does the ACC really not see this? It's self sabotage.

I think we for sure jump Utah in that case but probably not BYU even if they won a close game. But that would put us in that 10-11 spot.

USC would jump us

USC winning would put them ahead of us

 

[NC_Canes_11]

BTW ranking all those 2 loss teams ahead of BYU is bull****. They are the same as SMU last year. But again they need buffers to keep ND away from Miami to keep them in.

 

[mr.h]

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…………..

How about we beat ND, but you know that.

 

[aelmiami]

ND wouldn't need to lose. Their next two opponents are common opponents with us. If Bama rolls the next two weeks (I think they do) they jump ND and ND doesn't match the *** kicking we gave Syracuse and Stanford, I think that would be enough.

That’s what I was saying. If all four common opponents are similar results and then we get the H2H we should jump them.

 

[Uncut Co Cane]

Stop blaming the refs and blame the offensive coaching staff for not coming up with a decent gameplan. Blaming refs is such a soft excuse.

Both things can be true

 

[JennStrawley’sBabyDaddy]

The committee again picking and choosing. Valuing “good losses” over head to head with us. TT is 7 spots ahead of BYU with the same record, because they beat them. TT 1 loss is 3 loss ASU. Shouldn’t BYU be ahead of TT then?

 

[aelmiami]

USC would jump us

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.

Do we still have Life?

Or do we need to call Dr. Kevorkian?

How are we going to take care of, our, “Utah Problem?”

 

[Sabetta]

I, sir, am I lover of rye. Cheers to you!

I’m pored myself a glass of Penelope’s limited release F*ck Cancer blend

Moved onto some JDBP Rye "Fred Minnick" pick that I grabbed on auction. Another crazy value. A few drop of water and this signs.

Can we start a Canes Whiskey thread

 

[skyman]

ND is #9, we’ll need help, but they are unlikely to move up much. Woulda felt better if Bama stayed above them, they have much better wins.

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

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…..

It’s insane.

And you could also compare the NC State games. We rolled them from the jump, looked better than ND from start to finish. But nah, let’s not do that.

 

[ST26]

USC would jump us

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