@CrimsonTider Two ACC teams making the playoff now?

 

[Buck Seventy]

When College Football go to 16 playoff teams

I bet it will got to 16 teams before the decade ends.

The South Carolina at Clemson game has a little more national revelance now.

*Breaking* from espn that Heather chick just dropped her projected CFP rankings and playoff seeding

12. Alabama Crimson Tide (8-3)​

Why they could be here: This is where the committee will have to decide between two- and three-loss teams in the playoff, but if it ranks two-loss teams ahead of one-loss teams, don't be surprised to see three-loss teams ahead of two-loss teams. The committee could certainly rank the Tide lower because they have two losses to unranked teams with at least four losses each (Vanderbilt and now Oklahoma). But the Tide still has one of the better wins against Georgia. That head-to-head result is now moot, though, because the records are no longer comparable.

Path to the playoff: Alabama needs help even if it is still in the top 12 on Tuesday night, because the Tide would be bumped out for the Big 12 champion in this scenario. Alabama needs to beat rival Auburn and hope there is more fallout above them.

First-round byes

No. 1 Oregon (Big Ten champ)
No. 2 Texas (SEC champ)
No. 3 Miami (ACC champ)
No. 4 Boise State (Mountain West champ)

First-round games

On campus, Dec. 20 and 21

No. 12 Arizona State (Big 12 champ) at No. 5 Ohio State
No. 11 Indiana at No. 6 Penn State
No. 10 SMU at No. 7 Notre Dame
No. 9 Tennessee at No. 8 Georg

ESPN is shameless how tf can you put them at 12 when that same hoe was talking about Texas ain’t played nobody because Oklahoma sucked and shyt

ESPN is so pathetic. We get you are the SEC network, but don't bury any credibility you have. Bama will be fine in the future, but Deboer betta have his head on a swivel.

 

[Bigwhite2498]

That’s the problem i need clarification on this take Skip whitelys

If it's 16, they need to have all FBS conference champs in.

Exactly breh its bs

 

[Rekkapryde]

It’s just one big conference breh lol

shyt, forgot about that. lol.

So if they beat Texas, it's TAMU vs UGA in Atlanta. That's a hard one, pause.

 

[CrimsonTider]

The one year I root for the SEC to be good. The conference becomes mid. Now wack ass Miami is probably going to make the playoffs even if they dont win the ACC

The conference isn’t mid, it’s just parity within the conference

The B1G is mid. They have 2 good teams

 

[Rekkapryde]

@CrimsonTider Two ACC teams making the playoff now?

As long as SMU/Miami don't get blowed out, should be.

edit: Guess Clemson still in the mix. If they beat Carolina, might get interesting if Miami or SMU lose before the ACC Championship.

Hmmm how can we get Ole Miss in there? After all, losing to a surging UF is a quality loss

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

b bbb bbbut but parity!

I've shown respect to Bama for the longest, but this just aint their year. I've been supportive of Milroe but he's not getting better. If they make it, whatever, but I won't care if they don't. Let someone else shine who hasn't blown games they should win by 3 scores.

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

might get interesting if Miami or SMU lose before the ACC Championship.

Miami going to Syracuse could get weird. SMU should run Cal off the field but who tf knows
