James Madison would likely be ranked higher as a conference champion so if Duke wins most likely no ACC team gets in unless the committee decides to slide Miami above ND based on head to head.

It's ok, getting snubbed by James Madison has real value to it as well.

James Madison would be behind either North Texas or Tulane.

If I’m not mistaken, ACC champion is an auto bid

nope I was wrong so it could happen

Top five ranked conference champions. This includes G5.

Yeah. This year’s QB crop is lacking, so it would be a good year for him to come out. However, if he truly cares about development and actually having a chance to succeed, he would stay at Bama for another year. 

Alabama has proven to be an exceedingly poor place to develop as a QB. It's a good place to get INTO the NFL but not succeed.

If he wants to develop, the NFL or a better college program(specifically for QB development, not college success) would be the best path.

It's very hard to develop in college football unless you are super self motivated. It's a crazy tax on your time with school included.

Are you unfamiliar with how conference schedules work? Is Alabama an ACC team I am unaware of?

Lol. You know Miami would also get murdered in the playoffs, right?

For all the people claiming to have knowledge of their conferences, it's shocking how little you guys know about your conference(or any conferences) tie breaking procedures.

Ya'll know these things are literally on every conferences website in black and white, right?

I see you don't understand football.

Good to know. I'll note that going forward.

Same poo FSU tried to pull while getting a historic beating and then promptly going 7-17 overall and 3-13 in the ACC since.

I for one am glad to see all the "WE ARE THE REAL POWER" ACC crybabies get their just desserts. That includes Clemson, who got a little chirpy about leaving the conference too.

Miami had the same rules as all the teams they claim to be better than. No one forced them to lose to Louisville or SMU. No one forced them to struggle against FSU either.

LOL struggle against FSU.

I love the idea of Diego Pavia being some bizarro universe Bryce Young

Never went to a qb camp growing up, started playing quarterback like the second half of his senior year in college, just pure grit and determination, so much moxie he’s helped turn Vanderbilt into the best program in Tennessee.

still short tho

Yes, all your impressive wins against SMU and Louisville really showed the powerhouse you guys are with your awful QB.

Brother, Pavia has played QB in college since 2020.

Yeah, I think he only played one year of QB in HS but he's always played QB at the collegiate level.

So another wrinkle if Duke wins - so the MW computers has selected 2 loss UNLV vs 4 loss Boise (over 3 loss SDSU and NM) as their champion teams,  If JMU loses their game and UNLV wins, then UNLV is very likely in over Duke. If UNLV loses, I don't see the committee putting 4 loss Boise or Troy, putting the CUSA champion or the MAC champion in over Duke. They'll have to hold their noses and put Duke in the playoffs. Maaaayyybee they could justify 3 loss Kennesaw State over 5 loss Duke, but CUSA is so irrelevant these days I don't think they would do it.

Why don't we just wait for his all to play out? It's gonna be pretty clear in one week.

The ACC should've honestly ceased to exist when they bent the knee to ND during the COVID season allowing them to play a full ACC schedule to save their ability to have a season. The deal should've been put on the table then that you're either in or you're out. No one year waiver. That was the most cuck poo I've ever seen happen in sports. The rest of the conference should've banded together and said absolutely not.

They won't put Duke into the playoffs.

Duke won't win that game anyway, they're fuging terrible.
