It's pretty simple if you take off the blinders. They lost to Nebraska and Kansas because they're just not that good. They're a borderline top 20 type of team that's good enough to play with the top teams if they're on their A game but are flawed enough to lose to practically anyone any given week if they're not on their A game.

They lost to K State.  If you can’t beat K State you aren’t good.

well, I didn't see this earlier.   Warde Manuel just said yesterday SMU could drop behind Alabama (and who knows who else) if they lose.....so I guess you can be punished for playing in a Championship game.  I swear I thought they said they wouldn't do that earlier in the year. 

he confirmed a team that doesn't play can't jump another team that doesn't play. 

So based on that, SMU now has to win to be in.  And if you are SMU, the ACC title game only presents risk and no real reward. 

So I retract my statement that Dabo could save folks from Bama.  No one can save you from Bama.

A lot of people made a big fuss about the announcer during the GA/GA tech game basically saying "for the win and CFP position" (something like that) every time GA had the ball and/or chance to win in OT.

You can literally say this about Alabama who loss to Vanderbilt.

 

What about Notre Dame losing to Northern Illinois 

Any team can be beat unless you're Oregon.

ND is never that good. That's why they've gotten absolutely waxed every time they've been put in the playoffs. Bama is basically the same team they were with Hurts. Good team but very limited in the passing game. If they're out in a situation where they have to pass to keep pace they're gonna lose. I don't see them as legit contenders and I honestly don't think they should be in the playoffs.

ND cherry picks their whole schedule.  They’ll most likely get wrecked in the playoff.

outscored 61-17 to date in the CFP.  Zero wins. 

I do think the 12 team format decreases the odds of first game blowouts.  Which weren't uncommon in the old format.

Milroe is just too much of a liability in the passing game IMO.

He’s actually a liability in the running game as well. He’s wants to be the hero and keeps the ball waaaay too much on read options. It’s how Oklahoma beat them. He simply kept the ball and OU was keying on him. 

I’ll pull for Bama if they make it in. Do I think they deserve to be in? No. I said as much Monday when I sent a text to a friend with South Carolina as the #12 seed. Even if Bama does get in, I’m not sure they make it out of the first round.

I welcome such insanity.  I welcome the Gamecocks mental gymnastics as well. As Dabo said yesterday, they were the first 15-0 national champ, why not be the first 3 loss champ.  My favorite part is how self-aware Dabo is off the hate of him/Clemson....and how annoyed people will be if they even win the ACC.  

but regardless, I'm pulling for the lowest seeds until they are eliminated.  Well, outside of UNLV.  I want Boise St in and see Jeanty vs a good D. 

It has nothing to do with Clemson per say and everything to do with not understanding how you can literally beat the National Champion right before the playoffs and be told..nope..not good enough. All because your "brand" isn't strong enough. It's retarded. 

 

This scenario only applies if they go all the way. But the committee has proven one thing for sure and that's they don't know ball.

Correct. The Brand is too strong.

Alabama did beat some damn good teams.  If SMU wants in they need to beat Clemson.  They beat a few decent teams but schedule was weak.

Yeah, I think with SOS logging in at 75….and no win vs anyone that finished in the top 25 they would be out.  Committee already signaling they can drop below that Bama line.  And think if you drop them below Bama they would keep falling past SC

    • They know within 15 mins.  Many moons ago skins drafted Heath Shuler at like 5th overall and Gus Frerotte in the late rounds. You know the plan, its Heaths team. Old OLman stink said within 15 minutes they knew Gus was the better QB.  I didn't need 15 or players on the same field, I just knew like Bill said "he better walk on water", which he hasn't. I do blame tepper mainly for it, he spend the greater part of 2 year telling everyone Watson would be a panther......and fail....but a great fail...then Stanford turned panthers down.....tepper was beyond pissed and wanted a QB. He forced the trade and picked BY......and now by .....some grace of the gods formed a team with 4 QBs of no hope...... insane given the other roster spots.....
    • He definitely knows nothing about the Panthers, but there’s no denying he’s a pioneer in this whole draft grading and mock draft field.
    • I actually say wait five years since that's long enough to know if a player  became something worthy enough for a long term contract, whether with their original team or someone else. Therefore... 1 (8): Jaycee Horn - Has been questions about his durability but when he's healthy, he plays at a high level. Should we have drafted Pat Surtain or Micah Parsons, however? Arguably could’ve done better, but he's still here so that's a W pick. 2 (59): Terrance Marshall - Yet another classic Panther WR bust. I don’t recall seeing anything in his college tape that made me excited about drafting him in the first place.  3 (70): Brady Christensen - Proved to be a versatile player on the O-line.  As of now, we haven’t signed him back and I feel that we should. That's enough to say he was a solid draft pick. 3 (83): Tommy Tremble - Hasn't emerged as a consistent productive player, but he's had his moments here and there. We can certainly do better, but we haven’t found that guy yet so he still has some utility. W because he's not Ian Thomas. 4 (126): Chuba Hubbard - Surprise of the draft. It took time, but he's now our lead back.  5 (158): Daviyon Nixon - Had a half a sack with us and... that's it. I think I liked what I saw but it didn't pan out. 5 (166): Keith Taylor - Another guy I liked but only stuck around for two years. Played for a few other teams but nothing really to note. 6 (193): Deonte Brown - I really thought this guy was going to be a steal. He might’ve been the guy that had weight issues and never really got a handle on it. 6 (204): Shi Smith - He scored double the touchdowns that Marshall did in his short time here; it was two. Yeah, the Panthers wide receiver history is rather bleak. 6 (222): Thomas Fletcher - I had to look it up but he was a long snapper. JJ Jansen is immortal, so it was a wasted draft pick. 7 (232): Phil Hoskins - Actually recorded a sack here in his short career. Wish I could remember it.   Surprisingly not a bad draft when you have two good/great starters and a JAG that's still here, plus a good rotation guy most would like to keep.
