Title: If Clemson beats SMU... Post by: Black Diamond Vol on December 08, 2024, 03:44:39 EST ...it SHOULD knock bammer out of the playoffs- but I'll bet it doesn't. :frown:

Title: Re: If Clemson beats SMU... Post by: Black Diamond Vol on December 08, 2024, 03:55:13 EST As bad as they're beating them, does Bama get in and SMU get left out? That would be my guess. It would be wrong, but it will probably happen. Short of losing 5 games, bammer is pretty much guaranteed a spot every year. :bird: Title: Re: If Clemson beats SMU...

I am hoping SMU loses a close one and knocks bama out. Finebaum thinks its possible. I am pretty sure "SEC Clout" will get them in though. :rolleyes: Title: Re: If Clemson beats SMU... Post by: japanvol on December 08, 2024, 06:10:48 EST With this close loss, I wonder if the CFP committee takes some creative liberty with the final rankings. If the 5-12 seeds end as
ND Texas OSU PSU UT Clemson SMU Indiana The first round matchups would be: ND vs Indiana Texas vs SMU OSU vs Clemson PSU vs UT You would be hard pressed to get more ready made drama/story lines than those games.

I could live with that. I had rather play PSU than OSU. Title: Re: If Clemson beats SMU... Post by: JeffCountyVolFan on December 08, 2024, 02:46:38 EST Texas, Boise, Indiana, Notre Dame, Penn St, SMU, and Clemson are a COMBINED 1-9 against the Top 20 with the only win being Clemson over SMU.
That is an amazing statistic. The best road to the CFP is now a schedule full of cupcakes, it seems. Title: Re: If Clemson beats SMU...

Strength of schedule is now irrelevant. The platoons has gone woke.That is an amazing statistic. The best road to the CFP is now a schedule full of cupcakes, it seems. Title: Re: If Clemson beats SMU... Post by: volsboy on December 08, 2024, 08:54:14 EST No way you can get the twelve best teams due to all the tie-ins. I guarantee Ole Miss, SCar, Bama and maybe even Mizzou would be favored over many of these teams that made it. I would pick all these teams over Clemson, SMU, Arizona St, Boise and maybe over ND. But that's just me. I would rather award tougher schedules. The committee want to reward weaker schedules I guess.

If the committee chooses, I think that the goal posts will move next season to fit the narrative. That's the problem with allowing people to select the field. Bias is always a factor.
