Though kind of cocky for such a close game
My god... USC has looked pretty bad this second half...
Missouri’s lack of awareness and clock management on the final drive in regulation was eye-wateringly bad. No sense of urgency and didn’t use time outs well. Now on to overtime.
LOL mizzou coach ran out thinking they won.

I’ve seen somewhere that the odds of us going 10-2 are ~15% and the odds of us making the playoffs at 10-2 are ~96%, therefore I’m way more concerned about us getting to 10-2 than I am of us missing the playoffs at 10-2.
Florida State was completely overrated.
I agree. ND’s rushing attack and strong defense were the difference in this game. Pressure on USC’s QB forced bad throws, too. While they are obviously talented, if USC is their best win that’s pretty weak resume for playoffs.
Maybe just because the games didn’t go the way I wanted but the product tonight was not very good IMO. Questionable coaching decisions in many games, lots of mistakes and not good playmaking all around. Again I am probably just tired and a bit grumpy because ND, Michigan, Mizzou, and Texas all won.
This lady needs to be fired. This is the same ref that missed both DPI penalties last week against OSU.

Still can’t believe they opened the season with a win against Alabama, a clear top 5 team, yet are now on the verge of falling to 0-4 in the ACC.
People say stuff like this every year at this time because they think there will be something like 15-20 team with 2 or less losses from major conference, but it doesn't work that way. Teams lose and get upset all the time in college football. While the 12 team playoff is new, here's some quick math based on if the 12 team playoff was the format during the entirety of the CFP based on final week CFP ranking:
Basically, if you're a 2 loss team from a major conference, you have an 81% chance of making the playoff. As well, historically, there has been an absolute Maximum of 13 major conference teams with 2 or less losses to end the season and an average year has about 11. Also on average, only 1 2 loss team misses the playoffs each year.
So I think it's pretty premature to say we're out no matter what. Now we have a lot of work still to do, but if we were to win out and OSU and Indiana are both Top 5 teams at the end of the season, we'd have a pretty strong case for making it.
Auburn's offense is brutal.
Wild take only 3 BT teams get into CFP in your scenario where a BT team is 10-2 with two losses to the #1 and #2 teams in the country. How many 9-3 SEC teams you letting in over that 10-2 BT team?

Isn't USC going to end up being our best win as well?

We probably end up ranked again after winning the bye week. Memphis, USC, Nebraska, Utah should all drop out. Texas and LSU should honestly be lower than us but won't be. Washington lost, UNLV lost.
Michigan and Louisville will probably jump us, but that still leaves 2 slots in the Top 25 to fill.

Arizona St likely leaps us too, but still one spot left
