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

Unless I’m missing something we are essentially14th because a g5 team and the acc team will jump us.

I can see us passing up byu but that’s about it. What better way to show Miami hate than have us at 13? Very unlikely pass up ole miss, ou or Alabama no matter what they do. And nd is in and everyone knows that who isn’t in denial

Yes, need to be 10th or higher to be in.

Why doesn’t the committee just guarantee 10 slots instead of 5?

Just guarantee the 5 conference winners and 5 conference runners-up

Obviously every scenario is different like the loser of Indiana and Ohio State shouldn’t get punished for losing their first game of the season in the conference title game. But there should be no reason a 3 loss Bama and 2 loss BYU(lose again to Tech) make the CFP because they made it to their conference title game.

Josh Pate goes off on the committee.

First 9 minutes.

Basically saying the eye test is BS when you have head to head and the teams are very comparable.

Miami could literally be 1 spot behind ND and the committee will justify it with "eye test" when Miami has the win on the field.

As of right now spots 11 and 12 will be going to either 2 top ranked G5 conf. champion OR top ranked G5 conf. champion and ACC champ.

There is no other path for Miami as an at large by being 11 or 12, need to be 10th or higher.

Sitting at 12th gets you passed by the acc champ and the best g5 both of which are much lower. So need to be 20th to end up 12th. In other words we need to pass up two guys above us today.

Yeah should have read all the quotes

Was just making sure not talking about a conference champ

I don’t believe this set of circumstances has existed before. Normally i would agree with you but Bama is on the border. 3 losses AND one of those being to a sub 500 FSU has never been encountered. So yes, I am very serious. I take it a step further. What if BYU beats Texas Tech. Texas Tech would be the runner up. You think Bama gets in ahead of them if they lose in their conference game too?

Too many moving parts to say. It’s not just those 2 teams. I’m just telling you the 2 teams in Atlanta are in. A gazillion percent. Sankey would literally have the families of the committee members killed if they tried to pull that ****.
 
Lot of analysts claiming we need to beat Pitt by 21 "like Notre Dame did".

We can absolutely do that. But we're going to have to play with tempo.

If we run 3 plays every 2 minutes like we've done for large stretches of games, our season is over.
 
In case others don't want to sift through 135 pages (if it's even posted). Our ACCCG path(s) are:

Miami clinches a spot in the championship game with:
  • Win + UVA loss + DUKE loss + SMU win OR

  • Win + SMU loss + DUKE loss + UVA loss + NCSU win OR
  • Win + SMU loss + DUKE loss + UVA loss + UNC win + SYR win OR
  • Win + SMU loss + DUKE loss + UVA loss + UNC win + BC win + Finish higher than GT & SMU in SportSource Analytics ranking OR

  • Win + SMU loss + DUKE loss + UVA win + NCSU win + SYR win OR
  • Win + SMU loss + DUKE loss + UVA win + NCSU win + BC win + Finish higher than GT & SMU in SportSource Analytics ranking OR

  • Win + SMU loss + DUKE win + UVA loss + NCSU win OR
  • Win + SMU win + DUKE win + UVA loss + NCSU win + Finish higher than DUKE in SportSource Analytics ranking

I disagree with you, and usually don't
If #10 loses a 3rd game and there is a deserving 10-2 team Miami not in
Bama is done
I get sankey is basically Hillary but he won't be able to save them

If it were any other conference I’d agree 100%. Not this one.

How bout this though? **** all this back and forth. Auburn 28 Alabama 24 on Saturday.
