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

[RyanCane26]

I mean realistically I think Duke would still be above JMU given JMU lost to UVA and Duke would have to beat UVA to win the conference...

That's definitely possible

 

[tdjones34]

Ima laugh like **** when they change the rule to it has to be a CG winner and the highest ranked conference team to get an autobid in the future.

Duke/UVA about to destroy the CFP credibility. All because conferences have gotten so big and teams dont play each other. And we have to result to some obscure *** tie breaker (I know this could happen in the past with divisions, just more likely now).

They need to figure out this format ****. So much complaining at this point...move to 24 teams. If you can't make too 25, you shouldn't be in. Let the teams play it out on the field.

The committees decision making plus the set up is just too flawed in its current state.

conference championship games with these mega conferences are as worthless as bowl games now

 

[redcane]

How the **** does Duke win a 5 team tiebreaker?

 

[TallyCane]

Wait is this wrong? Wouldn’t we be in if SMU loses? Because NC state is up 18

Yea I believe this is wrong

Duke is in if SMU loses. Our only hope is VT winning which ain’t happening

Yes it's wrong.

But Trumpycane wants to know why happens if they’re unranked also

They’ll rank 5 conference champions.

 

[TrumpyCane]

So we need Stanford to win.

Trumpycane wonders if Stanford could win tonight with the current roster but with prime Andrew Luck qbing

 

[AUcane]

So we need Stanford to win.

At worst, need them to at least keep it close.

 

[Calinative]

If UCLA beat USC, it signficantly weakens Notre Dames best Win. Then Notre Dames best win is a toss up between USC and Pitt and we just beat Pitt by more than they did.

I think We jump ND this week. Lets ******* hope...

 

[IndayArtHauz]

At worst, need them to at least keep it close.

It’s another stupid freaking data point, considering we have beaten every other common opponent worse than ND did and beat them head to head.

 

[Canesrule230]

This is insane - literally nothing we needed occurred

 

[pyhooya]

All it took for Manny to get to Charlotte was to get outta Miami

And to not have to play any of the top 4 in the ACC. Only ACC win against a team over 500 in conference is...................... Nobody. Their schedule got them to Charlotte(and a bunch of dumb losses by ACC teams)

 

[Gables Cane]

Somebody fact check me, but if we don’t make the playoffs, then we are the only team to win 10 regular season games during each of the last two years without making the playoffs in either year.

Ohio State, Indiana, Oregon, Georgia, and ND won 10 regular season games in each of the last 2 years. Every single one of those teams made the playoffs in each of the last two years.

We won 10 games in each of the last two years as well, except we may not make the playoffs once.

SMFH.

Can’t wait for all the “Manny is a better coach Mario” takes this off season

 

[Canesrule230]

VT is pathetic - absolutely nothing offensively

 

[IllinoisCane]

I still don't see how we don't get it. Figure some of these teams above us (BYU, Alabama) will lose in their conference championship games. Am I missing something?

 

[scane]

This is a terrible take, but I could live off the outrage from the rest of the country for years

 

[AUcane]

The committee has made hints that they won’t penalize teams for conference game losses. That’s another way of saying “we want the b10 and sec CG teams to go yo
The CFP”

Yes, the "Irish Eyes are Smiling" Eye Test....
