The only two teams I feel are better than ND are OSU and UGA. If they can get in and catch one of these teams in the final 4 and the other in the Natty....we'd be golden like a shower!

Disagree on Georgia. They aren't special. We would shut them down just like last year.

I feel like I’ve barely watched OSU this year because they haven’t played anyone with a pulse since Week 1. Like i know Arvel Reese and Sayin are “elite” but ive watched 10+ SEC teams more than them lol. Real issue for the Big 10.

I expect Oklahoma jumps us Tuesday, but Alabama may take the 10th spot. They're likely going to be either 9th or 10th I'd wager, which means we could drop one since Oklahoma probably jumps.
In expect Oklahoma to jump us to ND but Bama fall a spot behind, hence staying at #9. That's ok, as there is always an unexpected upset in the last week or 2 that will allow the Irish to move up to #8 and host a playoff game.

If the committee truly thought Pitt was the #22 team in the country, you could definitely make the argument that our dominating win on the road was more impressive than OU’s where they literally got outgained 400 to 200 but won the turnover battle 3-0.

But For better or worse brands matter 🤷‍♂️

It will still be the self perpetuating trend of ranked SEC beating ranked SEC just means more. The sEC is gonna have 6 teams in the playoffs.

UGA's defense is not very good and their offense is very limited. They're very tough and hard to kill though. I wouldn't mind playing them again, but I wouldn't necessarily sign up for it either if that makes sense.

She has Miami winning the ACC. They are currently in fourth place, so, she is predicting carnage to happen to the top 4 teams or she doesn’t know dick.
If it's ESPN it's probably the latter and not the former.

Miami doesn’t even have to get to the conference championship, they just have to be the highest rated ACC team. This is easily possible.

It’s because they’re the highest ranked team from the ACC, so they’re the ACC team in the playoff bracket

Nobody else in that shit conference has a win over ND, so they probably deserve it.

Where are you guys seeing that a P4 conference champion doesn't get a spot?

I see this, "The CFP selection committee ranks the top 25 teams at the end of the regular season. The five highest ranked conference champions and the next seven highest-ranked teams will be seeded into a 12-team bracket based on the final ranking, with the four highest-ranked teams receiving a first-round bye." on the cfp rankings website

There’s a world where teams like James Madison and North Texas win their conference and are ranked ahead of the ACC champion. Unlikely.

If we get the carnage to get Mia to the ccg and they lose, I could see that happening.
