If Bama makes the CFP

[ZZ13]

I never expected Miami to displace ND since neither played yesterday. That's all due to Duke. I think if UVa wins, ND is in and Miami is out. The ACC commissioner worked the committee hard.

College football is crap.

A 10-2 SEC team that makes Atlanta is NOT gonna miss the playoff.

 

[gobravesvols16]

Miami gets in without even playing in their conference championship game. Crazy

A 10-2 SEC team that makes Atlanta is NOT gonna miss the playoff.

But a 10-2 SEC team with a stronger strength of record, much stronger SOS will not make it over a 10-2 team that couldn't make the championship game in a conference won by 7-5 team...

I'm usually not a ND defender at all, but they got shafted big time.

Alabama 2011.
Ohio St. 2016.

No ACC teams should get in

I agree with this.

Neither did ND, and they got left out.

Weird...

 

[TrueOrange]

Bama isn’t getting in. I’ll put money on it.

The bookies will be coming for your thumbs

Alabama 2011.

Nebraska in 2001 as well.

Dont lose at Miami and to A&M at home. Dont schedule a ton of 2-4 win major conference teams and 7-8 win mid majors...

Not only that - they jumped over a team who was two spots ahead of them last week when both of those teams went 1-0 last weekend and didn’t play yesterday.

 

[mackievol]

Clearly putting Alabama and Oklahoma in playing each other isnt rigged. Just saying. What a coincidence

The Miami game was at Miami.

 

[SubVet676]

Just for kicks, anybody know what the BCS formula did with Miami, Bama, and ND?

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

The Miami game was at Miami.

Correct. Its what I meant but worded it poorly. Ill edit

This is literally a lie. Bama at 10-2 had the best regular season win of the season beating Georgia at Georgia. They also beat Vandy. Vandy is 10-2 with no bad losses (Bama has one) and zero good wins.

Vandy at 10-2 isn’t even better than Texas at 9-3.

10-2 Miami beat 10-2 Notre Dame. Miami’s win over Notre Dame is better than anything Vandy has won.

The committee got it right. All is well in the land of college football

 

[RDU VOL#14]

The fact that there are 2 G5 schools in this is a complete joke. This isn’t college basketball or college baseball. Ole Miss already beat Tulane by 5 touchdowns. Why do we need this again? Why do we get Bama vs OU again?

No, its not. Which is a lie?

Vandy missed the playoff.
Vandy went 10-2
Vandy had much stronger SOS than Miami
Vandy had a stronger SOR than Miami

Miami made the playoff
Miami went 10-2
Miami didnt make conference champ game
A 7-5 win team won the ACC.

I agree with this.

It’s entirely due to the placement of Alabama.

If Alabama dropped a space lower, you would have seen Notre Dame in and Miami out.

But since Alabama stayed above those two, it came down to Notre Dame and Miami being next to each other with the exact same final records…and the two played this season, with Miami beating Notre Dame.

 

[VolCalls]

If they adhere to the principles ESPN just showed, ND is out.

Agree or not, the committee followed the stated principles. Strength of record and head-to-head were the first two criteria.

Poor Vandy got Vandy'd for being Vanderbilt
