There’s only one thing that matters right now. And it involves a weasel and a plunger.

1 down.

Assures that the ACC will only get 1 team in.

If it's Miami losing I would say w/o a doubt, if it's Clemson losing close I wouldn't rule them quite out to be honest, fair or unfair you know the committee won't forget last year even though it clearly should have no barring. You are likely right but I would be a touch nervous still.

another benefit of Miami losing which I didn't think of is now Wisconsin moves up to #4 most likely. Which means if we win out we will have just beaten a top 4 playoff bound team.

That'll be two top 8 wins plus a conference championship game. When you consider what else we bring to the table like fans and money it will make us really appealing no matter who we are compared to (Other then maybe OU).

I feel sick that I have to root for Bama, not much better than rooting for The Skunk Weasels

It'll be moot anyways as Clemson will win but even if Miami wins I believe Clemson is out. They'll have 2 losses just like us but will lack top 10 wins and of course a conference championship in this scenario (again basing it off us winning out)

if you're needing a team to win out though is there really a better team? At least we need them to win out and not Georgia/Auburn.

Crappy thing is I think Bama loses tomorrow personally.

I told yall a couple weeks ago we were right back in this thing. Our chances just increased immensely today.

Nick Saban has never beat an Auburn team that had at least 9 wins (0-3 at LSU, 0-3 at Alabama).

Because I know that stat, I'm confident he breaks it.

Alabama vs OSU, Oklahoma vs. Clemson...either way, we get redemption in the championship :)

I would love to somehow get OU in the first round though... That'd be my freaking dream.

No there really isn't, but sadly anytime I want Bama to lose (which is always) they always seem to pull it out. So I feel like the one time I ever root for them, it might reverse the luck and they'll lose.

Bama might lose because Bama is average right now.

Muami will still be above Ohio State unless the Bucks kick the living daylights out of TSUN

Yes, but if they lose to Clemson, they'll now be a 2 loss, non champion that dropped their last two games. No way they get in over us then.

You left out the retard.

Or the flip side (Miami wins ACC) is you now have a Clemson team with a comparably bad loss (Syracuse/Pitt/Iowa) that is also a 2 loss, non-conference champ.

Picture is surprisingly pretty clear at this point. Crazy.
