It’s opinion based on history of teams, that don’t have the same players

each year, and there are not enough out of conference games to establish who could beat who. As Saban said yesterday, the Transfer Portal has weakened teams that dominated in the past because their second string just transfer. The lack of cross over games is a huge problem. How do we know that Miami and SMU could not beat some of the SEC mentioned playoff teams? We don’t, know because they are not playing each other. So we have your opinion and everybody else’s opinion with very limited objective facts to form those opinions. The Sweet 16 has teams no one expected to advance that far every year. ** Edited by Stech at 11/17/2024, 10:29:51 AM

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
Stech • 11/17/24 07:53 AM ET
They lose all credibility with Auburn **
VaTechHokiesACC • 11/18/24 04:31 AM ET
One guy, I can’t remember who said, I don’t know about Auburn.**
Stech • 11/18/24 07:48 AM ET
Lets talk reality for a moment. First, the B12. BYU has
Big12 guy • 11/17/24 08:37 AM ET
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-
Baltimore_Hokie • 11/18/24 12:05 PM ET
First, I am on this board because there are very smart people making
Big12 guy • 11/18/24 12:27 PM ET
I trust you will have a very gracious acknowledgment of your wrongness-
Baltimore_Hokie • 11/18/24 03:38 PM ET
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,
Stech • 11/16/24 10:19 PM ET
It doesn't matter what ACC fans believe about their team or even the
VTHokie2000 • 11/16/24 07:33 PM ET
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.
