Duke up 14-7 at halftime. The fact that the ACC had five teams tie for second place and has a tiebreaker that gave the championship game spot to the worst of those teams is completely idiotic. They should’ve made up a new tiebreaker on the spot if they had to in order to get Miami in the game. Now, as it stands, they will have neither their champion nor their best team in the playoff.
30 minutes away from the ACC not having a team in the playoff

If this happens, the ACC will join the Big 10 on the "abolish conference championship games and expand the playoffs" bandwagon.
And this is on the same day that Alabama and BYU play their way out of the playoffs in a championship game.

I kind of feel if Duke wins Miami will get in but then if Duke wins that should insured two G5 teams. If so and the luck OLe MIss has had in scheduling, they will probably get one of the at home. ****
I believe the top five ranked conference champion get in. If correct and Duke wins there could be two G5. Not sure.

I think if Duke wins they’ll put Miami in. They won’t want to leave ACC out. Hopefully we’ll see #6 Mississippi hosting #11 Miami.
I'd rather they host Notre Dame. Not sure they can beat ND. They are playing extremely well right now.
Duke looked worse than us against Texas trying to burn time in that last 2 minutes. Out of bounds to stop the clock, penalty, penalty, incomplete pass. Just horrid.
Not unless the committee wants to gift the ACC a spot and moves Miami up two places despite them not having played a game today. All this did was slide James Madison into the #12 spot instead of Virginia.
Texas isn't getting in. Miami may......Bama would have to fall two spots to 11. BYU fall to 12. then Miami jump both to 10.
I think this will happen. I don’t think they will want to leave ACC completely out. And I get don’t unduly punish a team for losing a championship game. But those Bama & BYU losses were really really bad. How can you just ignore them?
The committee will put one ACC team in since they are a P4 conference. I think Miami will get in. Hard to leave ACC out when G5 teams are in.
