Do we still want Syracuse to beat Miami?

If we beat SC we may be sitting nicely for a playoff spot. Which would then be put into jeopardy having to play Miami or SMU to knock us out.

Or is the value of a 3/4 seed worth it?

We want a Miami loss regardless. Make the ACCCG and control our own destiny

Always pull for the scenario to play for a championship

ACC championship matters, I want whatever needs to happen to get us into the game to happen. (It ain't gonna happen, but it'd be great if it did).

I'd prefer if Cuse beat Miami and we try for the top 4 seed. Hosting a playoff game would be far more beneficial than going into an insanely hostile environment (that'll probably be far away and/or in a cold snowy environment).

Yeah true. As an 11 seed

We probably have to go to Penn State or Notre Dame. But we wouldn’t host sadly

Exactly. I wouldn't be thrilled about this team having to deal with those areas in December

It would be fun to go to a game in Happy Valley though.

Definitely want to control our own destiny. I've heard

they may not penalize conference title game losers much at all anymore. We will see if that's the case. More than anything I would not want to put it in the hands of the committee. They always do something stupid!

I don't see the Tigers getting in with just a win versus SC. I think we have to also get in the ACC championship game and win that one...

There is so much chaos around us right now that we could sneak in.

Yeah, we need Miami to lose. Even if we win out, why are we so sure we'll slip into the playoffs? Right now, of the 13 ESPN "experts," only David Hale has us in the playoffs just winning out. They're not going to have 3 ACC teams in the playoffs, and they're not going to put us above a team with an identical record who lost in the ACC championship. Based on current predictions, the playoffs will be:

5 Conference Champs: Oregon, Texas, Miami, Arizona State, Boise State

7 at large teams: Ohio State, Notre Dame, Georgia, Penn State, Tennessee, Indiana, SMU

We control our own destiny if Miami loses to Syracuse. That said, we do probably have a slightly better chance of going to the playoffs if we sit out than if we lose in the ACC championship, but it's really low any way without winning the ACC, so we need Miami to lose.

You want Cuse to upset Miami and put us in the ACC championship

Absolutely. Win the conference is always a huge goal. Control the “homeland”

I'm pulling for SMU in a SMU-Miami ACCCG. Don't want the streak broken of Miami never winning an ACC Chanpionship.

I tend to agree. I find it hard to root for Miami any time, but I just hate the idea of SMU winning the ACC in their first year. Will feed the talking heads agenda that the ACC is weak. This would be a meteorite game for me. Probably go hunting instead of watching it.

The CFP committee does not value nor respect the ACC so let's put it out of their hands, control our own destiny, therefore go Cuse!
