Selection committee member also spoke: bad news…

For Miami. If I heard him correctly, he was pointed in saying that there will be no shuffling in rank order among schools not playing today. I.e., Miami will not jump Alabama. There was a serious flaw in his logic. He said that championship game losses do not happen in a vacuum (i.e., don’t lose if you want a berth, SMU), because they still indicate team strength. But if that were really the case, teams not playing today might conceivably shuffle amongst each other if they have wins or losses versus championship game participants. Not so. I.e., even if Georgia gets hammered today, it’s still a huge win for Bama and Miami can’t jump them. All in all, about what you’d expect from the tragicomedy that is the CFP.

SMU shoukd make it no matter what imo. But if they lose they will fall

They have essentially made the ACC and B12 championships a playoff game.

ACC will be a one-bid league most every year.

Doubt Clemson gets a bye if it wins. **

Yeah, Big XII will get the last bye.**

I could handle this better if South Carolina was there instead of Bama, but

I think it is even more pro-"big names" than it is pro-SEC or pro-B1G.

Big name schools n SEC & B1G is their goal, they hate Cinderella ironically**

I didn’t hear it, but sounds like 1 team for the ACC to me.**

That would indicate Penn State should not make it...
