re: So there is basically 1 at large a spot left correct? And it’s between Miami/ND/Tx Tech?

Bama is not guaranteed
I keep seeing everyone just automatically count them in and I have no idea why. Obviously an SEC champ bama is in but with a loss:
-They'd have 3 losses, and the jump from 2 losses to 3 is typically a nail in the coffin
-They'd be a 3 loss team with no hardware to counterbalance it
-They would have just lost their most recent game (which counterbalances their best win of the season), and looked like straight arse in their 2nd most recent game against a shite team without a coach
People are just so blinded by the name bama they just give them a free pass, but a 3 loss bama is absolutely in no way a lock to make the playoffs. And I'd say that about literally any P4 team not just them.

If UGA loses to the same team twice, do they deserve to be in?

They won't jump an at-large team with 2 losses ahead of them that didn't have to play a game, e.g. Miami.
It would only be an auto-bid team like BYU.

Of course, and it's because of the overall resume. UGA, bama, ohio state, texas tech, indiana...I don't GAF who you are, you are judged based on your top to bottom resume. Period. So in this scenario UGA's resume would be:
-11 wins
-Only 2 losses, so on the good side of the magic number
-SEC Championship game representative
-Both losses were to the same team; an 11 win team that just won the SEC and will be ranked in the top ~7.
-Ranked in the top 5 pretty much the entire season. Currently (after SECCG loss) probably ranked around 7ish.
If you don't think that's deserving of a spot in the top 12, I don't know what to tell ya.

Duke beating UVA would help the at large teams.

And actually I just remembered that last year Texas is a perfect example of the exact scenario you've desrcibed.
-Only 2 losses, both to the same team. One at home, one in the SECCG.
-Some decent wins otehrwise but nothing crazy (actually UGA has much better wins this year than texas did last)
Texas ended up with the 5th seed in the CFP. Sooo yeah I'd say it'd be a lock solid bet that we woudl still make the playoffs comfortably.

Texas Tech is also 100% in. Just don't know if it will be as a conference champ or an at-large.
There's really only about 3 scenarios left:
1) BYU and Bama both win their championship games, then Notre Dame or Oklahoma is left out. I do think there is a chance the committee will jump Notre Dame over Oklahoma in this week's rankings in order to prevent Notre Dame from missing the playoff in this scenario. It would also widen the rankings gap between Notre Dame and Miami, which is in the committee's best interest.
2) Bama wins and BYU loses, then the current Top 10 makes the playoff plus the last two auto-bid conference champs.
3) BYU wins and Bama loses, then Bama is left out (assuming they remain #10 in this week's CFP rankings).

Not sure if it's been mentioned but there is no scenario where Notre Dame should get in over Miami.
Head to head has to matter.

100% agreed. But the committee would have to rank Miami ahead of Notre Dame this week for that to happen. And they won't jump Miami that far up in the rankings, in my opinion.

Which means the entire system is bullshite.

I’d like to hear your reasoning why ND should get in over Miami or OU
Bama not getting in would make me cackle with glee

I think so too, but it’s asinine that the betting markets have Oklahoma as a near lock to make the playoffs as opposed to ND but way less odds to win the title. Clearly everyone knows they are not a good team, no reason to have them ranked above ND.

UVA if they win/JMU if Duke wins
I think this is the point of contention.
So far The CFP committee has refused to rank 1-loss JMU.
The auto-bid is for the 5 highest “ranked” conference champs. There is a possibility that ACC champ (Duke) & SBC Champ (JMU or Troy) are both not ranked which would open up another at large bid

I don't think ND should be left out but what's their best win? OU beat current #10 Bama on the road.
