Terrible night for the PAC12 and BIG12, probably out of the final four

FSU may make a big jump this weeks CFP with the carnage ahead of them this week.

Also, Millhouse , Mike Leach and Wazzou are 7-3

UNC too

They are two red zone turnovers away against South Carolina from setting up an epic ACC Championship Game against Clemson.
 
Oklahoma can make the Final Four if they win out. Could be a tough call between them and Notre Dame assuming ND beats Stanford(and BC which is a given). I watched Wash St, impressive team and a young team that has gotten better all year... Hint hint

If ND wins out don't see how they could be left out over Oklahoma when they beat Texas handily and Texas beat OK.

Honestly don't care who makes it as long as the ACC gets in.

Yeah I would vote Notre Dame but Okkahoma winning out means wins over Baylor, TCU and Ok State in the last three weeks of the season. That would be a lot for the committee to consider

I thought about that, but I think that just amounts to a big 12 circle jerk. None of those teams beat anyone out of conference, so who knows how good they are?

I wouldn't fault the committee either way.

Clemson-UNC will be a great ACCCG

It's crazy how much they were buried after that opening loss. Against an SEC opponent in a close game where they basically dominated the game.

Setting up to be a great game in Blacksburg next weekend. UNC is on fire. VT defense has been on fire. Beamer's last home game. That should be fun.

My hope, of course, is that UNC wins, then UVA beats VT the following weekend, and VT's bowl streak ends in Beamer's last year. That would be great.

Of course, then they'll be first in the pecking order if a 5-7 team gets to limp into a bowl.

at one point they were up 31-0 yesterday and down in stats by 150 yds.

Been making $$$$ off them for weeks.
 
What? No shout out to Navy and their record-setting QB Reynolds?
 
what about OAK ST? They are undefeted and if they run the table I think they are in.

I can't agree more
 
Be real interesting to see where UNC gets ranked. I figure FSU holds pretty steady, hopefully moves up a spot or two, but UNC could be a big mover.

We really want UNC to move as high as they possibly can so that theoretically the ACC champion is in no matter who wins that game.

I've got to figure the PAC is eliminated. Also, the possibility of a second SEC team in the playoffs has been eliminated with LSU losing.

I think we can assume Bama wins out and gets a spot. It would be very interesting if FSU beats UF, but UF beats Bama...but that's not going to happen.

I think we can assume the B1G champ is in. I guess it's somewhat possible that if an undefeated Iowa beats and undefeated Ohio State in a close, well played B1G title game, they could get two in, but I don't think that's going to happen.

So you've got two spots for the ACC, Big 12 and ND. I think the Big 12 is in good shape if Oklahoma and Oklahoma State both win this weekend. If so, I think the winner of that game can jump ND. Yes, that Texas loss is bad, but the committee respects how teams are playing at the time, and that would be a hell of a run OU would be on. Until proven otherwise, I'm going to take the committee at their word when they say a conference championship is a big deal, and enough to put Oklahoma ahead. The nightmare scenario is OU losing to TCU this week and OSU beating Baylor, and then OU destroying OSU in Bedlam. I do think the committee would put ND over a conference champ that got woodshedded in their final game.

But what I'm wondering is whether UNC would have a chance if they upset Clemson? It would seem absurd...but I'm not sure. If they're in the top 10 going into that game, which is possible...they would only have one good win, but it would be the best win of any contender. Their common opponent outcomes would compare very similarly with ND, with the exception that ND lost to Clemson and UNC beat them.

I think at this point, the best case scenario of the ACC is hope UNC is ranked pretty highly tomorrow, and can climb up to #6 or 7 before the ACCCG.

Well, Oklahoma won at Tennessee, and Alabama just squeaked out a win over the Vols in Tuscaloosa.
 
For those that would like to see ND all-in the ACC, having them win out and get snubbed would be the ideal scenario. If they make the playoff this year they'll likely never go all-in. I think they'll hold out, hoping for a playoff expansion.
