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

[ALLoverCANE]

Acc championship game don’t look all that unrealistic next week.

About 10% chance, based on FPI

Terrible day for our at-large shot. Looks like ACC or bust.

We get in over uva but Duke could have a tie breaker over us depending how the games play out so we want them to lose too

Duke has no tiebreaker, if we beat Pitt.

 

[NC_Canes_11]

Yes, this week.

Your lips to gods ears. Amen

 

[joglen15]

So if we beat Pitt, and VaTech beats Virginia then we're in the ACCCG by way of common opponent tie breaker?

 

[407cane]

That’s two weeks ago. No longer relevant.

It’s simple now, beat Pitt, UVA loses. We play SMU in ACCCG.

Duke has 2 ACC loses and no wins against the tiebreaker teams. They are out if the first two above occur.

why would we hold tiebreaker over GT? or duke?

 

[Canes1135]

Need Oklahoma or bama to drop one next week

What Miami needs​

Miami (5-2 ACC)

A win vs Pitt
AND
A loss by Duke
AND EITHER
a loss by SMU (to Cal) OR Virginia (to Virginia Tech). Doesn’t matter which, just need one of them to lose.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

Why do we need all the ACC teams to have 2 loses?

What happens if SMU has 1 loss but everybody else has 2? Or if UVA has 1 loss and everybody else has 2?

The more teams that are tied, the harder it is for "common opponents" to be the tiebreaker, and then the Commissioner can pick.

It is not from weeks ago, the article is 3 days ago.

So again, I am not disputing your scenario.

I am asking you if the scenario i referenced from CBS occurs, is it not accurate?

Miami beats Pitt
UVA beats Va Tech
Wake beats Duke
Cal beats SMU

If that happens, and there is a four way tie, are you saying the CBS article is wrong? I am not arguing but you aren’t giving me a straight answer. Who goes in that scenario?

Yes this is my understanding

where did you get this

not doubting it just there's like 10 different things floating out there and its hard to tell who knows what is legit

Must be a millennial. Stuck on spoon fed propaganda and missing the overall picture.
It’s real simple. Beat Pitt, VT beats UVA, that’s not a 10% shot. Stop believing ESPN’s bullshyt.

 

[brcane1]

LSU has 225 yards in the fourth quarter vs WKU. They might not get 100 yards vs OU next week.

Boy do I have an OC candidate for them

Yahoo, released 4 min ago after Pitt game

 

[407cane]

***** grim.

I mean IF it's true, it's not that unrealistic

VT can beat UVA

idk if cal can beat SMU but as long as both dont need to happen

 

[brcane1]

**** Stanford is beating cal like that? Sheesh

They beat Notre Dame next week and things get fun

 

[RF-4CCane]

So if we beat Pitt, and VaTech beats Virginia then we're in the ACCCG by way of common opponent tie breaker?

First tie breaker is communal H2H, then common opponent. Only us, Pitt and SMU have relevant communal H2H. We beat Pitt, we have better communal H2H and better common opponent.
