Miami/Pitt

[bpo57]

Let's not get ahead of ourselves, Bama may not beat Auburn. Right now Bama has beaten Ms State and LSU, neither are very good wins compared to others or Miami.

Of course. It was under the assumption that they lost their conf title game and the U won their title game. If Bama loses to Auburn then they're probably out but then again it didn't work that way with OSU last year. One thing is not even arguable, a win over Auburn today would be the best road win of the year.

IMO, regardless of comparative record, SOS, etc., Alabama will need to get blown out by both Auburn and Georgia to be excluded form the playoff. In a perfect world, record, SOS etc. would matter. But this world ain't perfect. Bama gets in. 'Cos they're Bama. It's not the way it should be, but it's the way it is. View attachment 115975

Of course that scenario can't happen because a loss to Auburn means no SEC title game for Bama.

tOSU didn't play in their title game last year and still got in. I'm afraid if Bama loses tonight the same thing will happen.

I hear ya. That's why the "must win your conference title" crowd are a bit confused.

If a 2 loss team gets into the playoffs, the process has to be changed. 8 teams.

The only 2 loss team that deserves to get in is Auburn.

No team perfected the art of playing down to the level of their competition like the Canes. If Pete took the time to go over the Miami resume game by game he'd realize he's not as smart as he thinks he is.

BPO, here are some analytic guys that agree with you that it’s not 100%. They have it at 73%. I’m going with 100. Haha

Those #s seem somewhat credible. I'd be very happy if OSU and Miami were bounced, one way or the other. OSU because they lost twice and badly each time. Plus I know the power Delany wields and am tired of watching that movie. The U aren't remotely near one of the top four teams in the country. Hopefully Clemson makes that very apparent next Saturday.

clemson id put higher than 15 % if they lost to miami like 25-30% to make it.

clemson/miami winner
oklahoma( in even with a loss)
georgia/auburn winner


4th spot is open:
wisconsin with win
clemson if they lost to miami
ohio state with win over wisconsin
slight chance of alabama sneaking in

OU with a loss would seem to be in trouble with two losses and without having won that vaunted conference title that everybody thinks is so important. I guess it would come down to what else happened.

Agree, we want the ACC in there and Clemson over the past few years for various reasons, has become my other ACC team.

I want UM for variety's sake. It'd be nice to get a fresh team from the ACC to the CFP.
