Canes at 6 in latest playoff ranking

[Cylo]

First time I’m fully agree with the rankings, sort of I didn’t realize bama was 13 they should be 15 or so

Thats my biggest gripe with the rankings is they keep handing Bama a lifeline

Why not 3? What would happen if all 3 of Miami, SMU and Clemson won this week? Why wouldn't all 3 of us go?

There’s not really a spot for Clemson if SMU stays in, it would have to be at SMU’s expense, unless a couple other teams in the top 12 lose this week.

 

[USNAVYCANE]

Zero respect for the Big 12 and G5

**** em

 

[Cylo]

They’re going to get in and they shouldn’t. ****es me off with that SEC ****.

Its bs lol its such a joke

 

[Santana Sosa]

Projection has us playing the winner of PSU/Indiana. I think we match up well with both.

literally the only two teams I was thinking a while back would be a competitive game for us....or Boise. lol

 

[The U is back to work]

A GT win, Auburn win, TAMU win, and Clemson win would hit like crack

Nah, our OL puts us at a big advantage in a lot of these games. Our OL is legit. We’ll be able to score on pretty much everyone on that list

Initial takeaways…

ACC shaping up for 2-bid league.

It’s going to be hard for Bama to jump Clemson if Clemson beats SCar, and Miami beats Cuse.

Our projected path is really, really fortuitous.

Tulane big jump will make it hard for UNLV to pass them, provided they upset Boise.

I think there's a possibility of 3 teams if Clemson beats South Carolina and We beat SMU in the ACCCG especially if a win vs Cuse puts us in the top 5

 

[Andrew]

Both Alabama and Ole Miss will get in. The loser of Miami and SMU will be out and some other team will slide out as well.

I think our toughest matchups would be Oregon, OSU, and Texas. I think we can hang with all the other 8 potential matchups.

A GT win, Auburn win, TAMU win, and Clemson win would hit like crack

Actually TAMU winning probably brings them back into the playoffs without kicking an SEC team out.

If all 3 win then they all should get in. It might happen

 

[rascon]

Funny things happen on the last rankings reveal. Teams have got flipped at the last minute.

Should be interesting couple of weeks for sure, but it’s there for us.

It will possibly be 3 if we win the next 2 games.
SMU gets in with a loss to Miami and Clemson if they beat South Carolina

Clemson will not leapfrog ND or Tennessee even if they win.

The only scenarios that would get three in imo is the following:

Miami, SMU, and Clemson take care of business.
Tennessee loses to Vandy, they’re out.
Miami loses a thriller to SMU like 41-38, then three are in.

ND loses to USC, it’s an argument. They’ll take a 2-loss Texas over Clemson. Same with Tennessee.

SMU gets jumped if they lose in the ACCCG imo. Only realistic scenario for all three is them winning the ACCCG in tight fashion over us, and Clemson beating SCar + one of Tennessee, Indiana or ND losing.

Its possible, just unlikely.

I think our toughest matchups would be Oregon, OSU, and Texas. I think we can hang with all the other 8 potential matchups.

IMO the only team that I would give the edge to is Texas. If we commit to running the ball more and Alston and Brown play a little above average...

 

[Canemang]

Bama could be 3-8 and would be in the top 15

 

[Jonnyblaze]

And there it is. You just heard the chair of the committee answering that staged question about teams with more losses than others. Flat out gave a precedent for 3 loss teams being in the top 12. It’s going to happen with at least one SEC team.

 

[stormsurge13]

These rankings ultimately don’t mean anything because they’ll do what they want

But if we get the draw of PSU/Indiana and Texas at home…man

 

[Santana Sosa]

Nah, our OL puts us at a big advantage in a lot of these games. Our OL is legit. We’ll be able to score on pretty much everyone on that list

It's not the offense Im worried about. lol

 

[Angry Ibis]

I'm just not sure who Clemson would get in over unless somebody ahead of them also loses

Clemson is already sitting at #12, so beat USCe and wait.
