SMU schedule

[407cane]

SMU played Cal, they currently behind us

but clemson doesn't play cal so it's hurting us in comparison vs them

 

[Bird4um]

Ahh gotcha. So is it only the ACC record or the overall record?

A lot of the ACC teams on our schedule are about to beat each other up

ACC VS ACC only.

 

[Cylo]

I want what you guys are smokin
SMU plays Duke, Pitt, BC, Virginia, Cal
They can lose any one of those. I think they lose two.

Outside of Pitt, SMU will beat all of those teams easily by 15 plus points. Maybe BC can give them a tough game if they stop f'ing themselves up

but clemson doesn't play cal so it's hurting us in comparison vs them

yep, they have best record. but we are better than SMU

 

[Bird4um]

All this talk doesn’t really mean **** cause there is so much to play. But it’s fun!!

Our bye would be the week before. During ACC champ week.

I think what they’re saying is that if we don’t make ACC championship we might still make playoff, but wouldn’t get first round bye.

 

[NJshoreCane]

the bright side is we will be top 5 if we are 12-0, so we are in playoffs if we didnt get the tie breaker, but lose out on the bye

Yes.
ACCCG loser would be out
We would probably be an 8 seed behind BIG2 and SEC3.

 

[407cane]

yep, they have best record. but we are better than SMU

what are you talking about?

did you run the math on opponent win %?

I agree we're better than SMU, but beating better than them doesn't matter in the scenario we're talking about. if their ACC opponents have a better win % than our opponents then we get left out

We could easily drop another game but our remaining schedule is easier

 

[tdjones34]

If its us vs SMU

Its
Vtech, Syracuse, Gatech, Wake vs Pitt, BC, UVA, Stanford rest of year and we have 1.5 game lead

 

[Bird4um]

assuming playoffs start week after ACC champ game. We would get a bye. Just the week before everyone else.

Then we get a home game.

Well done.
But Clemson has the toughest remaining schedule.

 

[tdjones34]

Go 12-0, we play in ACC for a bye or have a home playoff game round 1

 

[tdjones34]

Well done.
But Clemson has the toughest remaining schedule.

they were ahead so started with SMU

 

[407cane]

i hope SMU wins out

clemson will drop a game, they have Louisville, VT, and Pitt coming up - one of those teams will get them

us vs SMU and all those Miami transfers in the aCC championship game would be great - would also be hilarious to see clemson not make it to that game. I also trust our talent advantage over SMU more so hope that comes to fruition

 

[Cylo]

ACC VS ACC only.

Thank you, brotha!!

Okay, honestly I like Miami ACC schedule over the other two. Clemson has Wake Forest, Stanford, NC State, FSU and Virginia

We got Wake Forest, FSU and Cal

SMU got FSU, Stanford, Cal and Virginia

 

[Bird4um]

12-0 with home game.
13-0 with bye
12-1 with a what? Do we even get in?

This is a bird in the hand question.

12-0 with a home game looks mighty nice.

 

[CaneMutiny06]

Go 12-0, we play in ACC for a bye or have a home playoff game round 1

The bye is going to be far more preferable.

The 5-12 teams will need to beat 4 top 12 opponents over the span of 4 weeks or so. I guarantee It will almost never happen, and seeds 1 through 4 will win the whole thing just about every year, similar to the FCS playoffs

All we control is the 12 games on the schedule

Weak *** thread whining about SMU’s schedule.
