Miami is not very good. They too dont have a win over a ranked opponent... just like clemson. There is no way to justify the acc getting two teams in. No way.
This just in...

I don’t think you can consider acc one of the top 5 conferences if cu beats smu.
Edit, scratch that, acc would still be one of the top 5.
IDK but I'd hate to think every time we beat them I have to hope they win their conference. LOL
I'd accept another chance to beat their asses again if that's what it takes for us to get in.
The question really comes down to which 4th SEC team gets in? We probably pass Ole Miss but I don't know that we did enough to pass Bama-as much as they are loved by the committee.
Idk, I think we’re ahead of bama, they lost to vandy and ou. Of course, ole miss lost to Kentucky
I sure hope so. I agree. Just hope the committee does. If Clemson won the ACC (yeah it sucks), would that help our resume in the end?
Well we did just beat the team that the committee thought was good enough to move above Bama last week. Kinda depends on how much stock the committee puts in their own decisions I guess
Trust me I agree. My perfect scenario is us in, Bama and Clemson out.
Recipts we have. We need the goal posts to stay still.
That head to head factor is hard to overcome.
I keep thinking if the roles were reversed. We'd insist that head to head was the first tie breaker.
While it's a fair argument, I think we pass ole miss who whipped us head to head. If that happens, it proves head to head is not always the final tipping point.
That would be true. I'm just not sure, removing the emotional attachment, that i would agree with it though.
It's an old trick, but the "if we were the other team" idea is valid. We'd be pissed if a team we beat jumps us.
It would be nice if the committee even listed some of their decision making processes. Tell us up front that head to head or SOS matters first, etc. But that's a pipe dream.
During the LSU/OU game, they showed the "teams on the edge". They showed us, Miami, smu and Bama. We had a better SOS than Miami and smu, of course. But we had the same record and worse SOS than bama. And they had a top win of Georgia, where our highest rank win was clemson.
That and the head to head leaves us with "momentum" as our selling point. They didn't list Ole Miss stats.
