It's pretty simple if you take off the blinders. They lost to Nebraska and Kansas because they're just not that good. They're a borderline top 20 type of team that's good enough to play with the top teams if they're on their A game but are flawed enough to lose to practically anyone any given week if they're not on their A game.

They lost to K State.  If you can’t beat K State you aren’t good.

well, I didn't see this earlier.   Warde Manuel just said yesterday SMU could drop behind Alabama (and who knows who else) if they lose.....so I guess you can be punished for playing in a Championship game.  I swear I thought they said they wouldn't do that earlier in the year. 

he confirmed a team that doesn't play can't jump another team that doesn't play. 

So based on that, SMU now has to win to be in.  And if you are SMU, the ACC title game only presents risk and no real reward. 

So I retract my statement that Dabo could save folks from Bama.  No one can save you from Bama.

A lot of people made a big fuss about the announcer during the GA/GA tech game basically saying "for the win and CFP position" (something like that) every time GA had the ball and/or chance to win in OT.

You can literally say this about Alabama who loss to Vanderbilt.

 

What about Notre Dame losing to Northern Illinois 

Any team can be beat unless you're Oregon.

ND is never that good. That's why they've gotten absolutely waxed every time they've been put in the playoffs. Bama is basically the same team they were with Hurts. Good team but very limited in the passing game. If they're out in a situation where they have to pass to keep pace they're gonna lose. I don't see them as legit contenders and I honestly don't think they should be in the playoffs.

ND cherry picks their whole schedule.  They’ll most likely get wrecked in the playoff.

outscored 61-17 to date in the CFP.  Zero wins. 

I do think the 12 team format decreases the odds of first game blowouts.  Which weren't uncommon in the old format.

Milroe is just too much of a liability in the passing game IMO.

He’s actually a liability in the running game as well. He’s wants to be the hero and keeps the ball waaaay too much on read options. It’s how Oklahoma beat them. He simply kept the ball and OU was keying on him. 

I’ll pull for Bama if they make it in. Do I think they deserve to be in? No. I said as much Monday when I sent a text to a friend with South Carolina as the #12 seed. Even if Bama does get in, I’m not sure they make it out of the first round.

I welcome such insanity.  I welcome the Gamecocks mental gymnastics as well. As Dabo said yesterday, they were the first 15-0 national champ, why not be the first 3 loss champ.  My favorite part is how self-aware Dabo is off the hate of him/Clemson....and how annoyed people will be if they even win the ACC.  

but regardless, I'm pulling for the lowest seeds until they are eliminated.  Well, outside of UNLV.  I want Boise St in and see Jeanty vs a good D. 

It has nothing to do with Clemson per say and everything to do with not understanding how you can literally beat the National Champion right before the playoffs and be told..nope..not good enough. All because your "brand" isn't strong enough. It's retarded. 

 

This scenario only applies if they go all the way. But the committee has proven one thing for sure and that's they don't know ball.

Correct. The Brand is too strong.

Alabama did beat some damn good teams.  If SMU wants in they need to beat Clemson.  They beat a few decent teams but schedule was weak.

Yeah, I think with SOS logging in at 75….and no win vs anyone that finished in the top 25 they would be out.  Committee already signaling they can drop below that Bama line.  And think if you drop them below Bama they would keep falling past SC

      Free agent WR targets?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      The post had nothing to do with Hunter specifically, but again, you see me mention his name and just take it as a slight to him.  It was a post regarding the WR position at the top of this draft, of which, there are 3 who are clearly better than the rest, one of whom just so happens to be Hunter. The only reason I brought up Hunter and Burden was to point how how they are both likely slot WRs compared to T-Mac being an outside WR, and for me, that's a key differentiator in the end when you need to rank all 3 on a team's big board. If there was a team at the top of the draft with a clear outside #1 WR, then I think they would be a team more likely to take Hunter or Burden if they want a WR, as they would be a better pairing. This is also a perfect example of why I can't stand your draft/FA analysis of players, because you can't separate individual players and the need/fit with a particular team.  You take everything about the players in a vacuum by itself, which is the worst way to evaluate player movement. You also only took issue with me bringing up Hunter, not Burden, because again, you seem unable to view my posts as anything other than Hunter shade, when they're really comparing players at a specific position and comparing them to our current roster and needs.

      Saw some SMU fans saying they should just boycott the title game because of the all risk no reward nature of it.  They would 100% be in if the ACC didn’t play a title game.  Now potentially out if they lose.

      That’s pretty insane.  And the one odd ball is to independent Notre Dame.  Clemson has had a top 10 class the last 7 years straight.  Think their class is logging around 30 something right now.  Probably why Dabo was just talking about finally having access to money now and no one going to have more than Clemson.  Got that nice church money ready to roll after seeing his class I guess.   But I still don’t expect it going to portal kids.
