You can tell a person has no idea what they're talking about when their go to is insulting the other person's intelligence.

If two ACC teams each have one loss, they're making it over us at 10-2. The question becomes do two ACC teams finish with only one loss? We shall see.

Let me help you here. When the two 1 loss ACC teams play in the title game…..only one makes the playoffs because of the weakness of the conference. Do I need to dumb this down any further?

It’s not a guarantee this year. Especially when our best win would be Vandy.

Nothing is ever a guarantee but it’s funny that people are wringing their hands over something that statistically speaking says we win out we have a 90%chance to get in the playoffs. Our probability of winning out is 15%. If we are going to fret and worry about something that might happen we might as well worry about the more logical thing. I’m just gonna cheer them on and hope for the best.

So if two one loss ACC teams face each other in the ACC championship game, that doesn't necessarily make them drop below a 2-loss SEC team. Apparently you haven't followed football enough to realize that a committee still decides who makes it in. You've paid zero attention to the argument that championship game losses shouldn't count as much. And you've ignored that other conferences will have a fit if 5 SEC teams make it in. Depending on how games play out, it could happen, but it's not something the committee will be looking to do. The real problem is you've abandoned all logic because you want to believe 10-2 is a guarantee. It's not.

Funny, because I've seen several posters say 10-2 is a guarantee to make the playoffs. Including you when we had this discussion a few days ago.

You do realize that SMU made it into the playoffs after losing to a 3 loss Clemson team in the ACC championship last year....with 2 losses.

ACC is only getting one in. Committee is scared sh**less that the big ten and SEC will break off and do their own thing. Which they will if they don’t who they think deserves in. We are the views and the money. Much like the big 12 only got one in even though Iowa state got their second loss in that game. Big 12 and ACC likely only get one in each. It’s all about $$$ and views. Plus they can say Notre dame is ACC and they got two lol
