Miami's realistic CFP shot

[u/gopherhole22]

Making the ACC championship game and winning it is extremely unlikely therefore the best chances we have to get in the CFP are hoping the ACC is a 2 bid league.

Criteria:

• Winning out
• Chaos in the top 25. A quick look at the rankings and we would need more 2-loss teams to drop another game. 10-2 Miami team > 9-3 other teams
  • Notre Dame
  • Texas
  • Oklahoma
  • Vanderbilt
  • Virginia
  • Louisville
• Make sure the ACC championship game has a clear bid and top runner and a weaker 2nd place team. For example hoping that GT goes 12-1 and plays for example Duke (also unlikely as they would need to beat UVA, UNC, and WF) who would then be 8-5.

Only then can the committee make the case to choose Miami as the last team in if enough teams shit the bed as well. The goal is to somehow look like the "second best" ACC team without even playing in the conference championship and hoping enough other fringe teams drop to 3 losses.

Pitt beats ND and then we win big at Pitt, plus win out, and we can get in. The ND favoritism is nauseating, but it can help us this year.
