  • AikenGameFan @ AikenGameFan:
    I am shocked we still have a chance to make the playoffs. But I really don't think A&M can pull out off. If Clemson can win the ACC and they win the SEC, how can you keep the team that beat both of them out?
  • carolina_corpsman @ carolina_corpsman:
    So, Clemson could back their way into the playoffs. If they beat SMU do they stay top 12?
  • AikenGameFan @ AikenGameFan:
    They get in if they win the ACC.
  • AikenGameFan @ AikenGameFan:
    Regardless of record, division champs get in.
  • AikenGameFan @ AikenGameFan:
    ACC BIG10 BIG12 & SEC champs all get a spot.
  • carolina_corpsman @ carolina_corpsman:
    “There are five automatic qualifiers — the five conference champions ranked highest by the CFP selection committee get in automatically” on the website doesn’t say anything about conference affiliation
  • carolina_corpsman @ carolina_corpsman:
    Does that mean out of all conference champions the 5 highest ranked get in? Or could a conference champion that is say ranked 14 get in because of the championship.
  • FurmanCock @ FurmanCock:
    The five highest ranked conference champions get an automatic bid. If one of the champions are ranked below #12, they will bump the #12 ranked team from the playoffs.
  • carolina_corpsman @ carolina_corpsman:
    That’s crazy. I’ve seen where some people think Carolina will jump to 12 but get bumped by Arizona. How is that a playoff? It means theory, A&M and Clemson could get bids and we’d be left out despite head to head wins over both.
  • carolina_corpsman @ carolina_corpsman:
    That also means that a 3 loss Clemson could get a first round bye in the playoffs. I get they were trying to include all the leagues but surely they’ll figure out the auto is putting undeserving teams in over deserving ones.
  • FurmanCock @ FurmanCock:
    Realistically, SC will have to be at #11 in order to get in. Currently Miami is in, but a lot of people think they will drop out of the top 12 with a win. We've got to hope that the committee puts more juice on a SC ranked win, than Bama and Ole Miss's unranked wins -- allowing us to jump both and Clemson.
  • carolina_corpsman @ carolina_corpsman:
    No way we jump Bama. I honestly think the best we can hope for is a NY6 game and a lot of momentum on the recruiting trail. It’s just frustrating that even by expanding the playoffs they are excluding deserving teams because they play a tougher schedule
  • FurmanCock @ FurmanCock:
    Auto entries for 5 conferences was the only way to get buy in from enough schools to set up the current system. However, you're right about current system no selecting the 12 best teams. There is a lot of talk that it is only a matter of time before the B1G and SEC blows up the NCAA system and has maybe some kind of exclusive super conference championship.
  • carolina_corpsman @ carolina_corpsman:
    Yeah, I would think that it won’t last long that way, too many good programs will get left out
  • FurmanCock @ FurmanCock:
    Maybe I'm just naive or a homer, but I do think we jump Bama. H2H loss was by 2 points, on the road. Alabama has lost two times recently, including to two mediocre teams, Vandy and OU. SC has 4 wins against ranked teams, two of which were on the road. We'll see. I'm just happy with the Clemson win. We did what we can control -- I can live with that.
  • carolina_corpsman @ carolina_corpsman:
    Your forgetting we’re the wrong shade of red in ESPN’s opinion lol.
  • FurmanCock @ FurmanCock:
    No, if it were up to the SEC, we would be screwed. I'm hoping the committee has enough Bama fatigue they determine garnet is much prettier than generic red.
  • carolina_corpsman @ carolina_corpsman:
    I’d be more annoyed if Clemson gets in with a first round bye. Zero ranked wins in the regular season, 1 win against a team with a winning record in the regular season. There’s no way that’s a top 5 team.
  • FurmanCock @ FurmanCock:
    Agree, but I also thinks it makes it harder for the committee to leave us out after just beating them on their home field.
  • FurmanCock @ FurmanCock:
    Texas is trying hard to lose this game with their second turnover inside the redzone.
  • carolina_corpsman @ carolina_corpsman:
    Yeah, that would be a hard one for them to explain, but they’ll say something about quality wins bla bla bla just like they did when Clemson jumped five spots after beating the citadel.
  • FurmanCock @ FurmanCock:
    Lol, it wouldn't surprise -- we're both longtime Gamecock fans, we're fully accustomed with disappointment. I'm hoping for the best -- hottest team in the country with the most exciting player. We would be a great underdog story.
  • carolina_corpsman @ carolina_corpsman:
    Yeah, I’ll admit I thought we’d struggle to be bowl eligible so it’s all gravy at this point. Just trying to understand the rationale of a 12 team “play off” when it’s not. I’ve come to understand that I won’t understand it because it’s nonsense.
  • FurmanCock @ FurmanCock:
    The one thing I will say, is that at least we're in the conversation this year. Under the 4 team BCS system, we wouldn't even be an afterthought.
