    It's not a playoff, it's a brand name invitational when teams with more losses are being campaigned for and included based on the brand name while excluding and campaigning against other schools with

  • are some of y’all trying to be “good fans” or “objective” or something when you say that it’s the florida loss that’s keeping us out? cuz y’all know that’s not true right? it’s only been repeated 10,0

    Sarkisian went on the SEC morning show today and doubled down on both Texas deserving to be in the playoffs and reconsidering the OOC schedule going forward. He basically said, with the SEC going to 9

Honestly, I bet a G5 playoff would honestly make some viewership money. The FCS playoffs get plenty of coverage. Have G5 playoff games on weekdays during bowl season. People will watch. If you want to incorporate bowls, play the playoff game at the bowl site nearest the higher seed or something.

I do not understand this whine. The G5 gets to compete in every other sport.

They get one spot. If they at some point get a super team they will have their shot to win it.

I have zero issue with them being in the playoff. Now maybe make it so the G5 school has to be undefeated or something. Sure. But I am not interested in some lame bullshit where some G5 team goes unbeaten and doesn't get a shot. That's fucking bullshit. We set up this damn playoff to stop that garbage from happening and you losers want to bring it back.

They should have a shot, but they shouldn’t have an auto bid. If a badass team comes along they will have needed to have a good non conf schedule and earn it as an at large bid

The problem is it is very hard to be logically consistent and put both these teams over us.  Notre doesn't have a bad loss, but Miami has twice as many.  Our wins are clearly better than both teams.

As much as we don't want it to be, it is different. 

Manny Diaz, I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad. Why we fought, or why we lost. All that matters is that an unranked team stood against a 10-2 team for the Championship. That's what's important! Valor pleases you, Diaz... so grant me one request. Grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, then to HELL with you!

So we should cancel those games so that we can be a legit 3-loss team that only has 2 losses? Fuck that.

We should be all the people we bitch about?

Most of the CFP teams would be legit 3-4 loss teams had they played our schedule. We lost to the #1 team in the country at their house by a TD when our QB had AIDS and our OL was terrible. Arch is night and day better now than he was in the first half of the season and our OL has improved with the lineup change. We only had one single loss after October 4th, and that stretch included 4 top 13-14 opponents.

Problem with that is they will never agree to that.

The system has to be blown up some way or another, they really need to be convinced to have their own playoff or the NCAA should die.

If Duke wins, Manny Diaz may become the most hated person in all of UMiami fandom, too. :)

Then I am fully on board with cancelling the 2026 Ohio State game at about 11:01 a.m. central tomorrow.

If G5 teams want to participate in playoffs they can drop down to FCS

I feel like a Virginia win is better for us. A Duke win could completely ice out a power conference auto-bid, leading to the committee to be more likely to pick Miami as an at-large. At least Virginia gives the ACC a place at the table.

No the fuck it isn’t. 3 losses is 3 losses and no playing the SEC title game isn’t an excuse.

The fact Miami is as high as they are and they couldn’t even qualify for G5 level conference championship game should be enough of a black mark.

We are out so nothing matters for us.  At least a Duke win might accelerate change to the system when they have to let 2 charity spots in instead of 1 and it affects ratings

No it isn’t. You have continued to be so fucking dense about this. This little “holier than thou” fucking attitude all week.

the ONLY thing bama had in us was 1 less loss. They don’t have that anymore.

Games matter or they don't. This is all so fucking stupid. 

A Duke win and the spot goes to the next non p4 league champ that is ahead of them in the rankings.

I think Alabama is safe.

It's OK to disagree. 

Nothing that we think about it matters in the least. 

Because peasants.

2/3 of the stadium is empty for the ACC championship. Tell me how Miami deserves to be in if they can’t make the finals of this trash can conference.

Some in the sports media would no doubt like to see another Boise State vs OU bowl game like matchup in the playoffs although it could be argued when Boise State finally made a top tier bowl, they had developed some street creed  by playing and beating what would be Power Four teams today.   The closest who might fit from the names being tossed around is Tulane, IMO.

Instead of canceling Ohio St, let's just beat them.


 

They will then have 3 losses at the end of the season and still get in.

It really is figure skating at this point, all depends on a few people's judgement, the perfect analogy for the situation.

"The ACC is not an FBS conference. Notre Dame competes in the ACC in all other sports. Ergo none of those shitass teams should be in the CFP until they prove they can beat aggy."

Except figure skating switched to objective grading just because of all of the bullshit... we can only hope.

Though to be fair they, along with all the contenders except Dome played FCS and that shit should not count on your record unless you lose.   Varsity has no business playing the freshman squad and counting it toward your record, might as well count the spring game like Aggie.

The fact that Duke vs Virginia game on rn that no one is watching or gaf about matters more for playoff consequences than Texas vs Aggy last week tells you all you need to know about how bullshit the current CFP is.

If the scenario tonight is Duke and Indy win, does anything objectively change for us?

If you want to believe Duke winning makes every team in the ACC look bad it helps us. 

Ohio State winning allows us to say 2 of our losses were on the road to the B1G and SEC champs. 

It is all a beauty contest so it all matters some, doubtful enough.

Yeah, we could lose out on the playoffs AND citrus bowl after today.
