Pat Forde & Dan Patrick Talk CFP

[miamifan007]

Forde lays it out perfectly. Stanky planted the flag early and the SEC minions continued the drum beat thru every SEC loss, and down playing every Miami win. Losses don’t count anymore. It’s the size of your brand and your wallet.When the SEC whips out that Big Swining Richard, wrapped in $1000 dollar bills, its eye ball popping and a lot of heads snap to attention. Three losses, maybe 4, and here we are. Canes have to climb back up that mountain to be relevant again. The system is more rigged than 20yrs ago, bc,.. MONEY. Money talks Bull**** walks

We can only hope Stanky, the Michigan AD and the rest of the committee die of a slow and painful death.

 

[the storm]

They killed two birds with one stone since that takes a ranked win from us as well. They also decided not to rank dukee

Exactly....manipulation to justify end result.

The Alabama bias is undeniable. Even SEC homers are complaining about it.

If any other team had a loss to Vanderbilt AND a 24-3 loss to a 6-6 team on their resume, their third loss wouldn't matter. They wouldn't be under consideration.

I mean.. They dropped the fewest spots for any team EVER after a loss Vanderbilt.

At some point, losses have to matter.

It's bull**** to. All I hear is ACC sucks. I've been telling everyone GT and Syracuse are better teams than Vanderbilt and Oklahoma .

Our fans forget that our brand is gone it’s **** true. Has to be rebuilt all over again. You can’t go 20 years of cheeks and think you still Miami.

This is the sad reality. Bama right now gets the benefit of the doubt after the run they went on with Saban. Make no mistake though, Bama isn’t a playoff team. **** I think ole miss has more of a case of getting in as an SEC team.

I"ll try to spin this as a positive through the power of beta thinking. Right now Cam Ward is looking like a top 3 pick. Depends on whether he is ranked higher than Sanders as to whether he is a top 2 (I think he should be). He's likely going to a pretty good franchise in the Giants. Most of us agree that playing Notre Dame in single digit weather was not going to end well. Last thing we needed was Ward getting hurt while we get crushed by the Domers. Not unlikely that Notre Dame defense (championship caliber) shuts down our offense either. Would have sucked to see Ward throwing a bunch of picks because we are trying to catch up from 3 scores down as our defense played like it always does, and then that hurting his draft status, and he goes from top 3 to mid to late first or worse.

Recruits are all seeing the national media essentially unanimous that UM got screwed out of the playoffs, so Cristobal gets to use that as as selling point. "We were absolutely a playoff team and but we got screwed- just turn on any tv channel and see what they are saying." And Ward gets to finish his season as a Heisman finalist, with the final impression being a great one.

So if you are willing to think like someone with low T, we ended up with the best case scenario.

Northern Illinois beat ND. Yeah, we have no shot

The metrics these shysters employ is complete bull****.

They credit teams for "top 25" wins throughout the season, but fail to acknowledge those same teams' final rankings. They minimize early season losses, and emphasize late season losses. The whole system is trash. It's polluted. It is riddled with bias and inconsistency, has been for decades. The NCAA got away with it because they exploited the phantom "amateur" label. Now that CFB players are paid professionals, expectations are changing, hence the talking heads seemingly being on our side.

Truth is most are just upset about the principality of us not getting in, not that WE (Miami) didn't make it.

Exactly. CFB has incrementally made the "system" of determining a champion more objective over the past 40 years. They just can't help themselves from allowing subjectivity to creep in though. There is no doubt subjectivity comes into play when records are the same, but obviously not the case here.

I genuinely think we're a Louisville win against Stanford away from them having no good excuses to keep us out. Losing that game they way they did, man.

In a different universe Louisville doesn't collapse against Stanford and GT figures out how to convert one 2 pt conversion in OT against GT. Then they're both ranked.

If GT beats Georgia, and Georgia now beats Texas (likely IMO), we are in. That's the one that kills me. GT absolutely should have won that game.

Nah, they still ***** us. They would come up with some new dumb justification.

losses never matter for the SEC, they haven't for 20yrs. Thats why they rank every SEC team in the bull**** preseason rankings. they hide behind playing ranked teams in conference in September and October.

Clear is day. No if and or but about it.
