Lets talk reality for a moment. First, the B12. BYU has

shown that they are a good team, but they are a pretender, not a contender. They lost to KU last night, and that KU team could easily only have two losses, as while their record doesn't show it, they were the better team in most of their games. Looking at the rest of the B12, what, Colorado and Arizona state in the championship game? It could play out that way, but that just goes to show the parity of the conference. In reality, they are fortunate to have an "auto" this year. Georgia and the SEC is playing out their regular season. Does anyone on this board think that any B12 team can play between the hedges, and beat Georgia this year? Maybe on a neutral field they would be competitive, but lets be real, the top of the SEC is clearly better than the current line up of the B12 THIS YEAR. The SEC should get 4 teams in, and it would be warranted if any team ends up with 2 losses. 3 losses? Maybe........... The BIG is top heavy with Oregon and OSU. Indiana can prove they are not a pretender against OSU this week, but they are most certainly deserving of a playoff berth. Penn State is another team that is deserving if they win out. That puts the BIG at 4 teams in, but there isn't even talk of a three loss team from that conference getting in. The G5 - could Army win out and remain undefeated? Maybe, but a visit to ND should take care of that. If they beat ND, then they deserve it. BSU almost beat Oregon earlier in the season, and if they had, they would be undefeated and nearly a top 10 team. They will be a spoiler in the playoffs, as they could very well orchestrate an upset or two in the playoffs. I wouldn't want to play them.... Help me out on the ACC guys. Of course I have an opinion, but sometimes, if you don't have something nice to say, it's better to sit down. Can they get two 2 loss teams in over any 2 loss BIG or SEC teams?

LOL as my post below, big part of Game Day about 2-3 loss SEC playoff teams**
Stech 11/16/24 10:50 AM ET
Like I said before, all the at-large bids are going to ND, SEC and B1G.
Maroon Baboon 11/17/24 05:23 PM ET
of course; they always try to shape/control the narrative**
daveinop 11/16/24 02:20 PM ET
True and they usually do exactly that.**
Stech 11/16/24 05:14 PM ET
yup. waiting for them to rationalize how LSU can still make the playoffs**
daveinop 11/17/24 07:38 AM ET
They talked about how they could make it yesterday on Game Day. Much of the

They lose all credibility with Auburn **

One guy, I can’t remember who said, I don’t know about Auburn.**

No.**
Baltimore_Hokie 11/18/24 11:04 AM ET
You’re missing th point of th original post, will 3+loss SEC teams make it?
Stech 11/18/24 08:01 AM ET
Who was talking about 4 loss SEC teams in the playoffs? It's not
Big12 guy 11/18/24 09:18 AM ET
It's not absurd in the least, it's going to happen-
Baltimore_Hokie 11/18/24 11:11 AM ET
I disagree with your first paragraph, but agree with the second when it
Big12 guy 11/18/24 11:47 AM ET
Let me make things very easy for you to understand what the big problem is-

First, I am on this board because there are very smart people making

I trust you will have a very gracious acknowledgment of your wrongness-

Look, 8 invites by the SEC and BIG is 50% of the
Big12 guy 11/18/24 04:17 PM ET
I bet there will be multiple 3 loss SEC and/or B1G programs in the CFP-
Baltimore_Hokie 11/18/24 04:33 PM ET
Game Day even mentioned 5 loss Auburn, so you are okay with 3 & maybe 4
Stech 11/18/24 11:04 AM ET
Of course not - and it will not happen. **
Big12 guy 11/18/24 11:48 AM ET
Let me change that question. How many PO teams from SEC, B1G, ACC, B12 &G6?
Stech 11/18/24 11:57 AM ET
KU is better than their record
VaTechHokiesACC 11/18/24 04:27 AM ET
We all have to live with the records of our teams. **
Big12 guy 11/18/24 09:19 AM ET
Nope!**
VT ChemE 1986 11/17/24 04:51 PM ET
ACC is a one bid league this season. Whoever the champ is. **
reestuart 11/17/24 03:49 PM ET
This year maybe, but not perpetually. Could a 2 loss Miami get in? **
Big12 guy 11/17/24 04:31 PM ET
No.**
Baltimore_Hokie 11/18/24 11:12 AM ET
Not this year **
VaTechHokiesACC 11/18/24 04:25 AM ET
I kinda doubt it. **
reestuart 11/17/24 09:21 PM ET
It’s opinion based on history of teams, that don’t have the same players
Stech 11/17/24 10:24 AM ET
I think that Clemson could get in with 2 losses as an at large, but
Big12 guy 11/17/24 11:07 AM ET
It’s too early for me to have an opinion on who should get in, a lot of 🏈**
Stech 11/17/24 02:09 PM ET
I guess Game Day is trying to get ACC and Big XII fans prepared for the
VTHokie2000 11/16/24 12:22 PM ET
As they should. A 3 loss team probably won't get in this year b/c B10
TDVick 11/18/24 12:26 AM ET
I am already prepared**
DarylS 11/16/24 09:33 PM ET
But of course. It's why they expanded to 12**
EDGEMAN 11/16/24 06:00 PM ET
Only 1 of Miami or SMU are getting in. Period. **
VT ChemE 1986 11/16/24 03:53 PM ET
Not a chance 1 loss ACC team gets bumped by 3 L SEC, ridiculous
ombandit 11/16/24 02:54 PM ET
You better bookmark this post, brother, because this is an ice cold take.
Baltimore_Hokie 11/18/24 11:15 AM ET
It's very possible
VaTechHokiesACC 11/18/24 04:24 AM ET
It’s not inferiority, about investors being bias towards their investments,

It doesn't matter what ACC fans believe about their team or even the

Don't bet your house on that sentiment.**
Atlee Hokie 11/16/24 06:37 PM ET
Well we won't find out this year
Pylons 11/16/24 05:12 PM ET
Absolutely Ole Miss, UGA or aTm get in with 3 losses over the 2nd ACC team**
VT ChemE 1986 11/16/24 03:59 PM ET
That is different, as the second place ACC team this year will have at
Big12 guy 11/16/24 06:00 PM ET
That assumes that the first place ACC or Big12 team is undefeated?**
VT ChemE 1986 11/16/24 06:31 PM ET
Sure, or maybe a one loss team doesn't make the championship game? **
Big12 guy 11/16/24 06:36 PM ET
Won't happen.**
Big12 guy 11/16/24 12:24 PM ET
Unprofessional Wrestling, winners are predetermined, but love ur +tivity**
Stech 11/16/24 10:08 PM ET
I guess we'll find out in a couple weeks if it happens this year or not.
