My only concern who gets in for the Big 12 and is there any chance Colorado can get back into the playoffs with some help?

 

A concern fan and I need some answers.

they need 2 upsets and to win this weekend to get to the Big 12 title.   1 could happen.  Kansas St could win.  But everyone else is playing the bottom of the Big12 this weekend. 

Essentially, the Big12 exists so the ACC doesn't have to be the biggest joke conference

If SMU loses the title game they may get the boot. Clemson has to win out and even then if they don't make the title game ... meh. Miami is safe (assuming they don't lose to Ga Tech).

Miami plays Syracuse @ Syracuse.   I think them almost getting beat by everyone in the ACC all year finally catches them at the end of the year.  Syracuse can play and they get a pretty good crowd going in that loud dome

Who are the 2 upsets?

 

BYU and Arizona State both have to lose and Colorado wins out?

  • Colorado beats Oklahoma State
  • Two of BYU, Arizona State or Iowa State lose another game

that's the magic needed.  So you need AZ, Hou, Kan St.  2 of them to win.  Kan St wouldn't be that big of an upset.  The other 2 would.

Miami still has to beat Syracuse and they struggle w/ everyone in the ACC.   

Then someone takes an L in the ACC title game.  So you just not going to drop them after an L?  

I think the math is now open for 2 ACC teams to get in.  Think it would depend on what the Ls look like going forward. 

and that's if Clemson can beat a ranked SEC USC.  

People will be arguing about the 11th and 12 spot just like they used to argue about spot #4

but I mean, however gets in....doesn't belong in the CFP.  It should be 4 teams. 

People still argue about teams getting snubbed from a 64 team basketball tournament field (sorry, play in games are still play in games in my book). There's always going to be snubs but I feel like a 12 team field is going to include everyone with a legitimate chance to win it all.

Yeah, there just are never 12 teams deep that all really belong in the same tier most years.   Was hard to find 4 some years.  But maybe NIL is just going to remove parity and there simply are going to be more and more teams that could pull it off.   Which hasn’t been the case in days past

So for the record we're 10-1 and 7 of those games weren't even close:

  • Florida - stomped
  • Florida A&M - stomped
  • Ball St - stomped
  • USF - stomped
  • FSU - stomped
  • Duke - stomped
  • Wake Forest - stomped

We were always in control against Louisville and VT (who are a shadow of the team without Drones at QB). We had a miracle comeback against Cal (on the road, Gameday in attendance at the game started at like midnight Miami time), but we actually pulled it off and obviously we had a let down game against GT.

We're clearly a very good team. 

Pick another narrative - or hold the same candle to everyone else's record.

The Playoff committee has said they're not going to punish teams for losing the Championship game - probably because a lot of SEC teams have publicly poo themselves about losing said Championship game recently.

I'll believe it when I see it. I think only one ACC team gets in.

You have a very good QB.   

and I have been very consistent about knocking Miami for their ACC play.  And Miami definitely got some ref aid along the way. 

VT was up in the 4th 

Cal was up in the 4th 

Lou tied in the 4th

Duke 1 pt game in the 4th 

Loss to GT

Wake 6 pt game in the 4th

but in a neutral site…I’m not sure they are even favored vs the #2 or #3 teams in the ACC.  Because of all the other dudes not named Ward.

If you don’t punish teams for losing in a title game then how would you keep Miami out if they win this weekend and then lose to SMU?   They would have to get an at large in that scenario.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Icege · Posted

      WR: Nico, Woods, Tank (R) TE: Schultz OL: Tunsil/Howard/Deiter/Mason/Fant vs. WR: Chark, Thielen, Mingo (R) TE: Hurst OL: Icky/Zavala (R)/Bozeman/Jensen (R)/Moton   Panthers' had the better OL before losing BC week 1 and AC week 4 which is kind of ironic considering how in the following year DB went down in W1 and Shaq in W4 resulting in the defense going all to Hell. CJ has done amazing in Houston, but he also wasn't asked to carry Zavala, Jensen, Mingo, Hurst, and Chark as a rookie.

      Past 5 seasons, IMO CJ Stroud and Joe Burrow are the 2 best young QBs that have emerged in the league in that window.  They also didn’t need vets to be their primary pass catchers.  They helped fellow youngsters be great at WR.   almost all the other young QBs have been paired up with vets in their top options….and haven’t been as promising.  so it isn’t Madden.  But the league hasn’t played out as you suggest it does.   Good QBs make others around them better.

      In 2023 their roster wasn’t stacked. They nailed the poo out of the 2023 draft and since they knew Davis Mills wasn’t the guy, they tanked properly to get pick 2. They also took Cleveland’s ridiculous offer for Watson unlike us with Burns. Houston received enough draft capital to jump up to 3 while picking up the right guys in Anderson and Stroud. The Texans were not stacked or better than us in 2023. They had 11 total wins from 2020 to 2022. They didn’t have a terrible front office so they made sure they got their QB of the future while tanking well and getting more draft picks. They are a textbook study of what we should have done in 2022/2023 offseason even though people in here still think tanking is a bad word and our culture would be bad if we were the Texans. We literally had the chance to be the Texans right now and fuged it up.
