No idea what you're talking about.

It really boils down to Wake Forest vs Merrimack this weekend.

I'm totally looking forward to the 24 team playoff because these teams in the ACC and the likes of BYU and ND etc being so highly ranked is just a flat out joke. It's a joke. No other way to say it.

We were eliminated with our third loss.

No argument from me. To be clear, I'm not arguing that we should be in even if we win out.

I'm arguing the CFP selection committee is still very much a beauty pageant but I kinda feel sorry for them because their hands are tied to a degree. You got all these automatic spots...... + ND , even if they haven't won a game all year...... (which cuts the current 12 spots down to 11 automatically) ... and after you get done with the auto bids, They can basically pick ONE TEAM and invite them......

It's an absurd numbers game and opening it up to 24 will eleviate a lot of my angst. I mean, my God, WAKE FOREST seriously being considered legit when they're playing Merrimack this weekend? Merrimack???? Never even heard of them and I've been watching football for 50 years.

But no, under no circumstances and I even remotely arguing that we should be in. ----- Tonight.... If we win the next 2 games and throttle #1 UGA at home..... get back to me. But as of tonight, my gripe is with the completely undeserving teams ahead of us....but it's not about us if that makes sense.

We are 21. Lots of teams ahead of us play each other. We get likely #2 or #1 at WB at night, probably with GameDay and likely ranked around 15. IF WE TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS the next 2 weeks.

Win out and we are in boys. I guarantee it
We have a huge trap game in our way

Wrong again! Similar to your election predictions. We win 7 straight with a win against UGA, we are in.
I don't think so. Not being argumentative but remember...... THIS YEAR.....ND is guaranteed a spot, even if they don't win another game.....or something like that. (They gotta be ranked #12 or above....and they'll do that, even if they lose every game from here on out)

And then once you get through with all the other automatics, that leaves like 1 or 2 teams that can actually be invited by the CFP selection committee and they ain't gonna pick us. They'll take a 2 loss "big name" over us.

As far as election predictions..... no need to worry about that anymore. The USA as a country died forever tonight. Communists won. Terrorists won. It's over.

If it gets to the point where a committee decides who to pick, I guarantee they are not picking us. When has anyone picked us?

Over the years, somewhere along the line I lost confidence in thinking when you lose games mattered to the powers that be that call the shots.

I admire your enthusiam, BUT even if we win out, there are some serious headwinds.
1. Winning out is not enough. Other teams, particullary the Blue Bloods if they win out will get the nod.
2. We have to get ranked no less than 10 to get in. 11 or 12 wont make it
3. Totality of resume. We have 5 wins, but 2 of those (40%) will not impress. There will be A, B comparisons. Do we have the better resume ? We shall see.

It can happen, but a lot has to fall in place.

I will respectfully disagree, (this year) Win out, and this team is in. They really put a huge stock in "How you are playing right then" so that would mean six straight over some Really good teams..

Do they put huge stock in that, or is that wishful thinking on our part?

Meaning, the committee seems to do whatever they want, and not stick to hard a fast rules. We shouldnt expect any type of normal formula.

You might want to educate yourself on what communism actually is and who qualifies as a terrorist before casually throwing those labels around. Neither word applies simply because an election didn't go your way. Perhaps what you're really mourning is the slow death of the white patriarchal America you've grown accustomed to. America is becoming more diverse, more representative, and less reflective of the narrow worldview some people have enjoyed for generations. That's not the death of America. That's America evolving. Democracy means sharing the country, not owning it. You might want to get used to it.

Yeah, how dare you call people comminists who scratch the name off the communist manifesto and scribble democrat socialist over the word communist. And how dare some who supports hamas be called a terrorist.

The nerve.

Moving forward if we get a chance to run up the score we need to….. don’t call off the dogs like they did in Oklahoma.
That's basically Arkansas and won't mean much.

If we beat A&M, I doubt it will come with an opportunity to run the score up. They have a good D.

We certainly won't get that chance against UGA, but Beamer is friends with Kirby anyway. He's also good friends with Dabo and would not do it in that game either.

The poster you address is fully aware what communism is and who terrorists are. Sadly your description of America is accurate; it is indeed evolving into the same quagmire and death from within that destroyed previous major civilizations via the agents you list.

In the meantime, and you are a perfect example, modify the 26th amendment NOW. It no longer applies.

1) Democrats are communists.
2) The USA (America) is not a democracy.
3) El-Sayed Muhamed Aloha Snackbar is a terrorist
4) Don't lecture me. You can't even tell us what a woman is. You have no credibility to speak about anything. Ever.

OU had a good defense, right?

I think we need to be worried about winning first, and running up the score second.

Correct. ~ You just laid out the entire Democrat platform. This is, was, and always will be their ultimate goal for the USA. It's literally their plan.

True, they did.

I guess I'm not a full believer in our offense yet.

This will be the 3rd straight good defense we've gone up against. The offense did enough against UT but went the better part of the game without scoring.

Dude, really? You think civilizations fell because they became more diverse? That's a pretty convenient explanation. Civilizations fall for all kinds of reasons — political corruption, bad leadership, economic problems, wars, and internal conflicts. Blaming diversity is an easy way to make people who are different from you the problem. And perhaps what you're really uncomfortable with is that America is no longer being led primarily by older white men. Your statement about the 26th amendment is a classic example of you trying to hold onto the way it used to be! More people from different backgrounds are being elected and having a voice. That's not the death of America. That's what happens when more people get a seat at the table. Have the day that you deserve!

The fact that you have to keep trying to make this a race issue speaks for itself.

Edit: Just looked at past messages. Its a self stated tater troll.

And that even goes back to the old bcs. Remember all those years we beat clemson, but they still made it in ahead of us. It's a load of crap!

Lol. The statement on the 26th amendment is an acknowledgment that today’s young people, like you, haven’t experienced enough LIFE yet to discern magic dragons and lollipops from reality. The young people for whom the 26th was written in fact had.

I'm not trying to make it a race issue. It's the white patriarchal (meaning men, in case you don't know what that means) society that this country was founded on and built on, where no one else exists or matters, that includes white women too!

That's your opinion on what I've experienced! I'm a 64-year-old Black woman with several degrees and have experienced sexism, racism, and ageism and am quite capable of discerning my reality and voting accordingly. And my right to do so will not be taken away! Once again, have the day that you deserve!
