re: Indiana, Texas Tech, and Duke

Duke is 8-5 and they beat Virginia for the ACC Title. I wouldn’t consider that evidence of change. Texas Tech definitely loaded up, but they played a weak schedule, lost to the only comparable team they played. Indiana is very well coached and Mendoza is an NFL QB.
How would you know if they are “firing on all cylinders” if you haven’t played anyone since?

ACC Teams

Why are these pair of ACC/ACC Adjacent teams being discussed as playoff teams over SEC squads? Their SOS is in 40’s. They haven’t beaten anybody. A team who is barely bowl eligible won that conference.

I think Alabama has to be in, or else from now on teams will be ducking the conference championship game.

No one else had that conference championship experience today. How do you get blown out on a neutral field?
Carson Beck threw like 8 interceptions that game. That’s all I can think of when anyone brings up Miami.

The playoff would lose money on those first round matchups. Especially if you include Miami, one of the worst P4 attendance records annually.

How do you justify a Miami team who couldn’t even make an ACC championship? A five loss team won that conference.
They didn’t call the handful of holds on the drive, they weren’t going to make that call there.

Committee Avoids Controversy

By leaving Miami and Notre Dame out in favor of Texas. They can pretend they actually care about SOS for a day.
I can’t get the image of Carson Beck throwing like 8 interceptions vs Louisville. No way Miami beats Texas.
Big time shot on the crown.
How many breaks can you catch
Texas played about as bad of a game they have all season in Athens, on both sides of the ball. Drops, coverage busts, procedural penalties, etc. it was still a four point game prior to the double fourth down drive by UGA followed by the onside kick.

I’d argue Florida was a more physical game than Georgia. Georgia just took advantage of our young secondary busting on route switches. We cleaned it up vs A&M.

Texas didn’t get manhandled like this. They were down 4 points in the fourth with a dozen WR drops and 60+ yards on penalties. Kirby single handily busted that one open.
Texas was down to Georgia 4 points in the 4th Quarter with a dozen receiver drops and 75 yards of penalties. It was also on the road. Kirby laid his nuts on the field and made some huge calls that blew that one open.
Texas was down 4 in the 4thQ with a dozen drops and 75 yards of penalties. Just saying. Kirby made some gutsy calls to blow that one open.
Texas game was a four point game in the 4th by the way
I don’t think so, PK does terrible against those wide split veer offenses. That’s why I was scared of that Mississippi State game. We’d definitely have dropped games early.
Without a couple controversial calls going your way, you lose to Auburn and Florida.
