backing in would impy it was a 3 way tie and we got in viat technicality of our opponents record being better than another teams..but the reality is we went 7-1 and miami went 6-2 in conference play.. meaning we had the second best conference recording which qualified us for the acc title game.

The reason they are saying it is another team had to lose for you to get in.

Isn’t that how it always works? In this case it was a loss in the last week. It’s optics, not logic.

Typically it is due to a lack of confidence, low’ish IQ and a small Johnson. Not sure how many of these apply as I don’t know this personally

What they should be saying is how much more competitive Ohio State vs Alabama would have been.

Where in the world have you been young man?
You guys got DESTROYED and set your entire conference back 10 years.
Your first ever playoff and you get absolutely embarrassed and blown off the field. Clearly, Tennessee is nowhere near ready to compete at the highest level.
Maybe another 25 years will have y'all ready to play a competitive game 🤣🤣🤣

The other team was 6-2 and we were 7-1. We just happened to finish our ACC schedule earlier than others. If we had the same record and won a tiebreaker then maybe that would give it some credibility but that wasn’t the case.

Another team needed to finish their ACC slate of games before the top two teams could be awarded their slot in the ACC title games. Clemson finished its slate of games a week before Miami.

Dumbest take I have seen. Of course your competition must lose more games than you. It’s not decided until all the games are played, period. UT degrees must not require an actual education.

to get in. They lost. We were winners. They were losers. If they had lost an acc game a couple weeks earlier, then they would have already been out. The timing of the loss doesnt change anything. The loss is the loss. And was it a genuine upset? Just bc the media had them as favorites doesnt mean they were right. syracuse looking pretty good tonight. we are not world beaters by any stretch of the imagination, but we were the legitimate acc champs. We earned that.

Exactly. It's the epitome of backing in. I don't see why anyone has a problem with it. We did back our way in and it was great it all worked out. We all felt somewhat lucky.

The Vals would have also been in the SUC championship game if they would have won more and other teams would have lost more. What is so hard to understand about this? It’s very simple math people.

Backing in means you don't have a chance of getting unless another team pulls an upset that gets you in, that is backing in. Regardless how anybody turns it, twist it or talk about it, we backed into the playoffs and the ACC championship game bc there was no other way for us to get into in either game unless Syracuse beats Miami and that's just a fact!!!
It doesn't hurt my feeling at all bc plenty of teams get lucky like we did every year, and they get to play in games they wouldn't have without help!!! Take it for what it really was (luck) and be thankful that we got paid a bunch of money by backing into both of those. I don't know how much money we were paid for playing in both of those games, but I wouldn't be afraid to say that it was probably between 5 to 7 million for playing both of those games, and that money in the back on top of the change that ESECPN chits us out of every year. I hope that we don't break our reverse gear bc not many teams can say they made to a championship game and won it without a little luck!!!

There was no help. Miami lost two conference games. We lost one.

I'm not sure why this is so difficult to understand. People seem to be confused by the fact that we played all of our conference games before most other members. We were 7-1 when most other teams had only played 5 conference games.
Miami lost an additional game in conference. We didn't. Hence why we played in the championship game. That's not backing in, that's winning the conference games on our schedule while Miami didn't.

But we were out of the ACCCG if Syracuse doesn't upset Miami, P E R I O D! ! ! Miami was 10-1 before they play a 8-3 Syracuse and Syracuse upset Miami, and that put Miami with 2 ACC losses and we only had 1 ACC loss. If Miami beats Syracuse they go to the ACCCG, we don't, but we had the best ACC record when Miami losses to Syracuse and is what put us in the ACCCG bc Syracuse helped us to back in...

Separate the two games

Clemson ABSOLUTELY earned its spot in the ACC title game. ALL league games have to be completed before the two teams that play for the conference championship are announced. That’s the same for any conference. Clemson just happen to finish its conference games earlier than others. Unless you finish your conference games undefeated, you need a team to lose. UGA needed a team to lose but no none wants to talk about that. It is just UGA got their help before the last game of the league was played.
Now talk about the playoff. Was Clemson one of the top 12 teams? NO Did Clemson get helped into the playoff because of a conference championship inclusion clause? YES. Does the ranking looked flawed? YES exhibit A TENNESSEE. Will the conference champions be excluded in future rule changes for the playoffs? I hope not because I don’t want to see an all SEC playoff bracket.

Going into final regular season week, we did not control our own destiny . We needed SMU or Miami to lose = backed in
I’m ok with that. I’m also ok with some Juvenile from 2002
https://youtu.be/gJk8zyEhgTc?si=oMIwWCTgbirSfqUz
We may have different definitions of backing in/up -but that’s ok. We can all agree on what a twerk is and isn’t.

The 2024 season was suppose to be Miami's break-out year.
The U is back and all that stuff the sports media loves.
Cam Ward showed up and played well but their defense was
shallow. Two games I witnessed Miami won due to very poor
Refs and Main Hq reviews. But Karma finally showed up with
The 'Cuse thoroughly whipping Miami in the Dome.

If some of you weren’t around (not born yet) for the 81 championship, #1 Pitt lost to Penn St after our regular undefeated season had ended. That put Clemson in the orange Bowl vs Nebraska. You have to catch some breaks via games you don’t even participate in sometimes.

Technically, we were never outside the top 2 in the last couple weeks. Miami never had a higher ACC winning percentage than us during that time. They would have needed to win to bump us out of the top 2.
