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

If Cincy and/or KSU win and so does Oregon, we'll move up into the same 9-12 range with ND and within 3 spots of them. By both of their comparison metrics when H2H could be a factor (same cluster of 4 and within 3 rankings), it should come into play. I just can't imagine them realistically putting us 9, ND 10, and Bama 11 on the outside looking in

Bama would jump all of us. The real question is if USC wins.

Logically If JUST USC beat oregon and Cinci beats BYU, the ranking SHOULD BE:

8 Bama - 9 Miami - 10 ND - 11 USC - 12 Oregon - 13 Utah - 14 Vandy

Agree that Bama should be ahead of all these teams. But I don't know why the committee would now move them ahead of ND after last week's rankings had them behind. And if we are in the same cluster with Bama, we beat FSU who they lost to. Unless week 1 still doesn't count.
 
I think our only shot at the ACC CG now is a rematch vs SMU. We need Pitt over GT, AND VT over UVA next week. Plus we gotta beat Pitt.

Is this your research or someone else?

This is also what my gut was telling me based ok what I read this week, but I haven’t seen anything. Waiting for @Wake_Cane

If true, that va tech team didn’t quit yet. They have enough to beat uva. They’ll be a significant dog (~+11.5) but it’s doable.
 
They aren’t moving Vanderbilt up. That would be team 6 in the SEC. No need to do that. I’m watching Utah. That team should drop. 261 yards rushing allowed and qb’s under 50% completion in the first half to a 5-5 team.
 
Utah losing by 10 to KSU.
They've allowed 341 yards RUSHING in the 1st half.

KSU gottta pull this off

Then we can just focus on Cinci and Pitt winning this week.

The one difference is that us and UTah actually have a similar ish resume. The differentiator between the two is Game Control. So from that sense we do want to win big and have them lose or at least win close. If we separate from them in SOS (could happen if we beat Pitt who re-enters top 25 with a win against GTech) and are close enough GC, we could straight jump Utah even without them losing. More helpful if their opponents also lose games like ASU. And if BYU loses to Cinci, they'll have beaten Cinci who beat BYU who beat utah... But BYU has a BAD Game Control metric, and bad SOS. They're only ranked highly cause they have 1 loss and beat Utah. But if they drop to 2 losses I think that could singlehandedly drop BOTH Byu and Utah below us. And if that happens the committe will be forced to rank us and ND within 2 or 3 of eachother....

I think you’re onto something with this
Utah’s game control numbers are certainly going to go down today as they aren’t controlling a **** thing lol
Win or lose, I could see Miami jumping Utah on Tuesday
Miami controlled the game from start to finish Utah is not gonna control the game from start to finish

But I’m a greedy guy. I just wanna see Kansas State knocked the **** out of them and Cincinnati upset BYU tonight and Pitt win to get ranked then it will have been a very good weekend.
