Greg Cote: “Canes Got a Raw Deal"

I do not understand the statement that any team not playing this weekend cannot change their status. That makes no sense in terms of calculating SOS for other teams, etc...

Indiana's best win is Michigan? They lost late in the year. The Buckeyes lost their last game when favored by 23. No clue why they get a free pass
Whoever asked the chair what happens if Duke and Louisville end up ranked in the next polls. Would that impact us and SMU, since we each beat them, backed him into a corner. I’ll say this though, watch they’ll rank Louisville, just to put ND at #5. Touting another T25 win, since odds are Army loses and drops out. Gotta prop ND up to get them a home game. But it won’t impact us. Make it make ******* sense.

Neither does Alabama. Not one of the at large teams are dominant or flawless, so why not us? Otherwise, make it a 6 team playoff.
Dude. If Bama truly does s u ck, then let them get their $#!t kicked in the playoff. ****, they beat UGA, so maybe UGA ALSO sucks!
 
I'm glad the Canes are getting left out after that **** show last weekend and dropping 2 of the last 3 games. They don't deserve to be rewarded.

At the same time, F Alabama and the committee for their obvious homoerotic relationship.

Are we going to have to tuck our tails between our legs and root for Golden Al?
Yes! **** the SEC! Like all of it…their fans, their whiny coaches, their propagandists. We also need to be rooting for SMU’s continued ascension. And as much as I loathe the Noles, we need them to right the ship as well

Until their wallets are impacted this mafia of $EC/B10 schools will continue to line their pockets. Only a reduction in viewership and thus advertising I fear is the only solution
 
They absolutely are. The gooftroop committee chair already said it, essentially. If SMU loses, they'll say it's to an average Clemson team, and they'll drop them to #12 and out.

They dropped Miami from #6 to #12 for losing a true road game to a ranked team by 4.

You don't think they'll drop SMU from #8 to #12 for losing a neutral site game to the 17th ranked team?

SMU is gonna get ****ed royally if they lose. Watch. The SEC is getting their 4 in, period. Sankey will kill all these people's families if he only gets 3 in while the B1G gets 4.

Alabama, Tennessee, UGA and Texas are IN. I don't care if SMU loses 28-27 on a last second 65 yard field goal, the ACC is only getting 1 team in.
If Clemp$on gets in, they’ll get slaughtered.
 
I agree with the sentiment, but we have no business playing in the CFP right now.
But Alabama does how about OSU what about Indiana you can sit back and pick apart every single team in the top 11 of the CFP other than Oregon. Miami was the easiest to pick on because the conference they're in. Miami in the Big 10 with lost to Michigan and Oregon is in the playoffs, which means Indiana would most likely will be out!!

Typical canes fan....I luv the U but we don't deserve a chance. With fans like you who needs enemies!!
 
I just like consistency and this committee has shown none of it

If you wanna get in your feels about it and show favoritism then just admit it but applying logic that doesn’t compute just makes you look like an idiot
This. No one is talking about their rational for choosing spots which for have for a fact changed week to week with zero explanation.

Not even for us vs bama. There needs to be clear bench marks for picking. As well with not reserving spots for conference winners that are 4 spots back from 12.

I get the g5/ucf rule they’re trying to implement but at some point come on man let’s not also reward g5 winners tripping through their finish line.

The same issues exist when it was 4 teams you just kick the can down the road for teams to argue for the last spot. Crazy idea, since fringe teams most likely they won’t be playing conference championship, have a play in game for that last spot.

Yeah it’s hard for me to ***** too much because we did it to ourselves

But there’s just too much hypocrisy going on. And it’s way beyond just us. At the end of the day Miami was a pretty consistent team even if that consistency wasn’t necessarily good all the time

Bamas blowout loss to Oklahoma shoulda been the end of the story imo

I got 1 simple easy fix rule...no 3 lost team from the power 4 conferences can make the playoffs if they don't win their conference championship.

No I gave up *****ing for us, I would be happy ofcourse if we were in.

When you have two opportunities. One being a Georgia tech loss and the other being very definitive in Syracuse I don’t have sympathy.

Agreed. End of the day we are comparing who is the 12th and 13th best team in the country and eventually it’s like well who gives a **** really

I'm a realist and not a homer that wears orange and green shades 24/7.

We deserved a chance had we not finished the season the way we did. It's a 12 team playoff, we had a meh schedule, Cam Ward at QB and we still have to debate whether we should be in.

No one to blame but ourselves.
