Virginia and Louisville Lost 👀

Advertisement
I'm gonna keep posting this. The rankings are a lot more interesting than people realize. Yes, we actually have to win out. But assuming we do..

Louisville and Virginia lost, so we will be the committee's second highest ranked ACC team on Tuesday by default, behind GT.

GT still has to play UGA (and Pitt). If they lose to UGA (as they're widely expected to) the committee will move us ahead of them.

It gets REALLY interesting if USF is the group of 5 rep and ND is in their top 10.

Yes we probably miss out on the ACCCG. But we would still be the committee's highest ranked ACC team AND we would have wins over 2 of playoff teams.

Buckle up.

I also will say. If we and ND both win out. Depending on how dominant we are in games including the game against Pitt assuming ND wins that game. I think the committee will have pressure to use the head to head as a deciding factor with us and ND.

Or they let us both in and arrange a rematch to one of the highest rated games of the year.

I guess I'm in the minority - I don't give af about the playoffs, we're clearly not good enough to win the whole ******* thing.

I'm desperate to win the ACC though - which obviously we won't have a chance to this year.

We don’t deserve anything, but would be sweet to sneak into the playoffs. Highly unlikely

Next week:

Clemson needs to beat Louisville (possible). Then we don’t have to worry about them anymore. Clemson owes us after what happened last year. Time to repay the debt.

Duke and Virginia play each other. So one of them will get two losses. You would rather see Duke win (possible), especially because they still have two ACC games after UVA.

Would be amazing if BC beats GT, but that ain’t happening.

Fast forward another week:

Need Louisville to beat SMU (possible)

Pitt to beat GT (possible)

And UNC over Duke (unlikely)

Fast Forward to the last week:

VT over UVA (possible)

Cal over SMU (possible)

Wake over Duke (possible)

While it does nothing for the ACC race, I maintain that ND @ Pitt next week is the single most important game for Miami’s playoff chances.

If Pitt upsets ND, they are out with 3 losses and an at-large spot opens up. Pitt will be ranked top 20, maybe top 15. We then beat Pitt and go to the playoffs as a 10 seed.

Would it be possible to hold practice in the Panthers' facilities after the NCST game?

The bottom line will always be about which potential playoff matchups will generate the most eyeballs and money.

Miami v. ND 2.0 would do better numbers than Vandy v. UT 2.0

Pitt is coming off a bye, 2 weeks to prepare. Opening line is Pitt +10.5.
 
Our ranking is sort of like game to game reffing... we've done plenty to ***** ourselves and our ranking (insanely biased reffing) is a travesty when looking at overall resumes. Both can be true.

I think this is the most reasonable way for us to make it after UVA lost their QB.

And that's ok.

I'm desperate to win this god**** conference - it's a monkey we still have on our back after 20 years. And I ******* hate this conference - I just want to stick it to them one time (ok that's a lie, I'd like to stick it to them every year).

We'd be run out of the building against Ohio St and, I suspect, Indiana. Beck and Dawson just aren't good enough.
