Miami

Miami would be 10-2. They missed a game

That is a great point. But both Miami and Nd would be 10-2 with Miami having the head to head. If tOSU loses today and beats Whisky, Whisky would be 12-1 (assuming they beat Minn) and Whisky goes anyway.

You are leaving out a win over the fifth ranked undefeated team in Whisky is they go that far. If not Whisky is in.

Not leaving it out Beach, just not letting that offset getting blown out at Iowa.

I think our chances are very slim, but it would be an interesting debate between a 10-2 ND with a tougher SOS vs a 10-2 Miami which finished with 2 losses, yet beat us by 33.

Well what would you say if the committee took an 11-2 SC over a 10-2 ND? (although ND's SOS is higher now it may not be after the PAc-12 championship game.) Would you think that was a good decision?

I think it would be close, but I think in both cases, they'd ultimately go with HTH, and choose Miami>ND>USC.

Agree

If Clemson is in at 12-1 then they look elsewhere instead of a 2nd ACC team. I think there are about 3 teams above Miami for the 4th slot including the PAC champ and UCF

PAC is out.

If Bama Wins today and either Ala. vs (UGA or AU) game is a close hard fought game then
the SEC will get 2 slots.

AU, UGA and Bama are all top 6 teams. That they go head to head should not automatically eliminate them.

The best way to look at SOS is throw out the top/low.

Bama lost. ND is out.
Mia/Clem winner is in.
Geo/Aub winner is in.
Okl/TCU winner is in.
WISC/Ohst winner is in.
Pac is out.
They want conf champs.

And what happens if South Carolina beats Clemson and then Clemson beats Miami? shouldn’t 2 losses hurt Clemson, especially since one of them is to Syracuse? And Miami would also have 2 losses, there last 2 games with one of them being against 4-7 Pitt??

Clemson rolled SC. The 8 team playoff is set.
