Need a massive upset. Top 6 in ACC are all penciled in, 3 from Big 10, 3 more conference champs. Only 1 spot left - currently ND, could be Big 12 runner-up. Absent a shocking result (like Bama losing to Auburn), we're done

Vandy and Texas could easily get knocked out
 
I know this is delusional, but this was a good complete game. It’s fun to watch defense again and the offense looked really good with Pringle and Beck was pretty sharp.

Maybe we come up short but winning the last three games would be really nice.

Yeah, but the committee would not value our 10-3 more than anyone in the SEC with the same record. We’re not out of it, but today’s results did not help at all.
 
The committee has shown that they will consider other factors and that’s exactly what will happen if we win our last 4 games convincingly( half way there) . If we win out and do so with the same defensive performance we had today then it will be hard to keep us out and anybody with half a functioning neuron would be able to see that we are clearly a top ten team.

We are not jumping any of the 8 likely 10-2 teams from the SEC or Big 10. 0% chance. Only hope is that the committee picks us over ND for the final at large. And even then, BYU, Utah, Vandy, USC could all end up being the pick over us.

Our resume took a major hit with USF and Lville each losing today. Hard to get in with more unranked losses than ranked wins.

Yeah, no. You’re assuming a level playing field, which is not the case. The SEC, Big Ten and Notre Dame get way more benefit of the doubt than we ever wilI. I guarantee you if it comes down to Miami and any other 2 loss SEC team, we will get passed up. For that matter, even if Texas loses tonight, if they beat Texas A&M they will probably pass us as well.
 
need tcu, Baylor, UGA, to pull some magic

florida beating ole miss would help (we'd have win over common opponent)

vandy still has Tennessee coming up

Texas wouldn’t pass us. They’d have a worse record and we’d have a common opponent, which we beat and they lost to
 
Alabama is a 4-loss team masquerading as a title contender. Venables is a bad coach and they will lose to a bad LSU or a mid Mizzou.
