L’s for 5, 7, 8, 14, 15, 16 … all but 1 of those are to unranked teams. The path is being cleared to compensate us for the LSU robbery
That doesn't compensate us.... Without that one flag, we are headed to Atlanta to play texas, and are easily in the cfp

It is nice that if the committee conversation starts off with : "Who is the hottest team just on the outside of the Bubble at #13?"

Has to be S.Carolina by unanimous decision. I don't think there's any question about that now. Beat Clemson and let the math, math.

The answer per the committee will be ASU. Back to back wins of top 25 teams.

We kept CU out of the playoffs in ‘22. Ironically, they have the opportunity to return the favor this year. (While we actually have the chance to repeat the ‘22 spoiler for them with this year’s game.)

Yep

AP predictions just now say Clemson 13, USC 14. In the final week, theres ONE top 15 showdown, and its us vs them

How the winner of 13/14, in the final week, as the only ranked vs ranked game, misses a field of 12 would be mind boggling

I truly think the winner is in. We would deserve it. And so would they. Game on

Don’t agree with that last sentence. Acc is only getting one team. A loss in this situation doesn’t really change their playoff outlook to much. I don’t see them getting in over a Miami or smu team that loses in the championship even with a win against South Carolina.

I also believe the SEC only gets 3 in playoffs after games yesterday leaving us out even beating clempson.

I’m just not that confident in Miami Being on the rd at Cuse. That can be a big sand trap. Playoffs and championship brith on the line, That can easily go the wrong way.
Agree. Syracuse will give them all that they want. Whoever said the playoffs would diminish the regular season….well I think we can all see that isn’t true.

For all the years I believe people talked about the bowl games diminishing in value. Expanding to 12 games where .500 teams made it in. To players sitting out, we are beginning to see an end to bowl games and an expanded playoff to 16 inevitable.

And again, have the higher seed host all playoff games through the semifinals. The championship game can be held a a neutral site, rotating among all the "major" bowl cities, Pasadena each year (akin to Omaha in baseball), or put it out for bids like is done in hoops.

And those bowls which survive - good for them.
