Canes at 6 in latest playoff ranking

They’re just blatantly setting it up for Bama/Ole Miss to get in. I already mentioned the canned answer by the chair talking about the history of 3 loss teams in the final top 12. It was also no accident they made sure to mention the mid SOS of Miami, SMU and Indiana, then conveniently put up a nice graphic of how strong the SOS is for the three SEC teams on the outside with 3 losses. It’s obvious what they’re setting up.

i think clemson would need texas to win out - giving UGA and A&M additional losses

if that happens, clemson beats USC, and Miami smu both win this weekend and the ACC title game is competitive, i can see 3 ACC getting in with 3 sec

I'm not sure if UGA loses a close game to Texas in the SECCG that the committee punishes them enough to drop from #7 to #12. I could still see them staying in front of Clemson with 3 losses.

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.

If uga loses the seccg I believe they will get in with 3 losses
 
I think if we beat Syracuse we are in regardless of ACC CG imo (I mean we can’t get blown out). SMU has to beat us in ACCCG otherwise losing to us they will het leaped by Clemson v South Carolina winner.. IF ND loses to USC, Clemson/South Carolina winner is guaranteed a spot imo. We wil see about Bama. If ND and SMU lose Bama is in

SMU has a legitimate gripe. One early season “good” loss. But my only true objection to those rankings is ND. They should at a minimum be the lowest ranked one loss team based on who they lost to.

I agree but they have ******* SMASHED teams lately. I don’t think they’ve played less than a 3 score game in the last 2 months. That is a horrible loss tho.
 
Can Ohio State get an easier path to the final 4?

It’s not fair that they would have such difficult opponents in ASU and Boise St.

I believe the committee could be a little more lenient and give them an easier opponent.

Is Youngstown State not available???

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

After they lose to Auburn it'll be, "Well, 4 losses is a lot, but, well, Miami lost to Georgia Tech!"

The SEC is nowhere near worthy of their rankings.

If you look at how they ranked spots 10 through 15, things could get interesting for one of the at large spots.

(Hypotheticals here, and let’s assume Texas beats A&M)
10-2 Celmson
9-3 Ole Miss
9-3 Alabama
11-1 Indiana
