Week 12 National Games

[F-MarioCristobal]

I dont see A&M dropping below ND. How would the committe justify that other than timing of wins and losses....which shouldn't matter.

They said GT only beat WF because of the offsides not called so they can probably say ND only lost to A&M because of the holding no call on the game winning play.

Which was true.

Easier to find excuses like that to hurt the ACC but when it comes to ND and SEC, they’re gonna mind **** themselves on it.

That South Florida loss would NOT help our case.

Are the Curt Cignetti fluffers still running around here or can we finally all start to agree that winning every week in college football is insanely hard and sometimes good teams will look bad?

What the ***** going on out there Vince Lombardi gif

ND has zero problems. I said it since the minute they lost to A&M, if they’re 10-2, they’re in. Was never even close to a doubt. It’s notre dame riding a 10 game winning streak. The sun coming up tomorrow is less of a lock than the committee bending over and putting them right in, no questions asked.

But them winning over Pitt helps us out, so it's not all bad.

Maybe it makes our win look a little bit better? I think if we win out we make the playoffs. Tall order, but guess we’re lucky there’s still a chance.

How so?

For sure. The higher ND is, the heavier our win weighs.

 

[Bender]

How so?

ACC Champ race. It'd be their 2nd L and our W would propel us ahead of them.

 

[Lokest]

How so?

That win is helping keep us afloat in the rankings

They already have 2 losses and ND is not an ACC game. We will have to give Pitt their third ACC loss

It don't count? Oh man

 

[terdferguson]

IMO USF winning out would be massive. If we have wins over 2 playoff teams that's a great data point for us.

 

[U_Canes]

That guy on ESPN just yell beat those *****?

hadn’t considered USF losing…how bad would that hurt our chances?

Barely material

They’re not even going to win today, so it’s moot.

What really would’ve helped out is Pitt winning, but that’s also not happening.

 

[Bender]

tbqh, USF losing today hurts us as much as ND wins help us.

Neither is the case, cause it'll be ignored.

 

[anr96]

Barely material

couldn’t it effect our at-large bid chances if say the ACC champ ends up being the higher ranked conference champ (which USF is potentially opening the door for with a loss today)?

Michigan is in a dog fight, no mike Vick.

Arizona beating Cincy should ruin Utah’s standing, but iirc Utah’s AD is now apart of the committee haha

 

[TwentySix]

This USF guy doing a mock salute at Navy is ****** hilarious.

The worst case scenario is if Tulane wins the American as well as Duke winning the ACC. Duke lost to Tulane already.

We are a longs way away from that
