Go Duke, for once!

 

[Blakeon18]

If Duke wins against Virginia does the ACC title champ get an automatic
bid to the 12 team playoff? Or are there some realistic possibilities that given
the very mediocre ACC football strength the champ won't get in?

Assuming Duke doesn’t jump into the CFP top 25 then the AAC and then Sun Belt or MWC (thinking James Madison) would get the final auto bid.

Got it....thanks CTBasketball.

If James Madison loses then it's a dog fight between the Mountain West champ and Duke to get the final guaranteed spot... a tournament featuring both James Madison and North Texas is exactly what they anticipated, especially if somehow things break in such a way to leave Alabama or Notre Dame out.

I'm rooting for chaos...

Chaos in the form of “undeserving” teams getting in won’t be good for us. It will make the power schools want to close the doors more. “Good” chaos would require a No. Texas State or JMU to actually win a game.

Let's go Duke!!! Like I said previously, UConn beating Duke could lead to a zero bid ACC. muahahahahahahaa!!!!!!

Was listening to College Sports Radio on Sirius this morning at the gym and the host was "suggesting" that if he's the ACC commissioner, he's looking for every legal loophole to put Miami in the title game instead of Duke. "The Big10 played games a few years ago, we could get a little cute in the ACC". I'll be honest, I was sitting at the gym in disbelief hearing that and had reruns of Whose Line Is It Anyway in my head with "Where the scores are made up and the points don't matter."

If the ACC had the gall to do that, the Big East should go on an immediate acquisition campaign for all the basketball schools in the ACC and bring football with them back to the Big East and let them know, your conference is not going to allow your teams to succeed in the ACC.

So 8-4 Boise State vs. 10-2 UNLV; while 9-3 New Mexico & San Diego State sit home.

Among the tied teams:
New Mexico 2-1 (W - at UNLV, San Diego St; L - at Boise St)
Boise State 2-1 (W - UNLV, New Mexico; L - at San Diego St)
San Diego State 1-1 (W - Boise; L - at New Mexico (2OT))
UNLV 0-2 (L - at Boise St, New Mexico)

In my mind UNLV should've been eliminated - then you'd have everyone 1-1 and can use the computers from there. UNLV's best win is either 3-9 UCLA, 8-4 Fresno State or 8-4 Hawaii. Fresno St & Hawaii being the only teams with winning records they beat.

New Mexico's are either San Diego State or UCLA (they didn't get to play Fresno State or Hawaii), while San Diego State has Cal & Boise St. as it's top; Boise State has New Mexico & UNLV as it's top two.

UNLV must be getting a lot of points for beating bad teams by a lot, but just looking at the results, San Diego State's season seems more impressive.

You’re a lawyer. I just find it hilarious that the power conferences wrote “top 5 ranked conference champions, wink!” And didn’t consider one of their own wouldn’t be among the top 5.

So would 8-5 Duke be ahead of:

12-1 North Texas - NO
11-2 Tulane - NO
---- AAC champion is probably in regardless ---

12-1 James Madison - NO (but their schedule is extremely weak)
9-4 Troy - YES

9-4 Boise State - PROBABLY
11-2 UNLV - PROBABLY NOT (they're not as good as the record, but bypassing an 11-2 team for 8-5 Duke would be a hard argument (although not impossible, due to the schedule)

Jacksonville State, Kennesaw State, Western Michigan or Miami (Ohio) - YES

 

[Jimdish255]

Thread seemed dead so here we are on Friday. Tulane and Boise having strong first halfs.
My posts tend to never bump a thread though.

 

[ScottVib]

JMU in a tight one, second biggest game of the weekend if you're rooting for the no-ACC scenario (although it'd be interesting to see how they sort out 9-4 Boise and 8-5 Duke)

 

[Marbles90]

Announcers made an interesting comment about what happens if both Troy and Duke win. Who gets the 5th auto bid? Does Duke get in? UNLV/Boise? I mean, not sure I saw any discussion on that scenario…

Possible 11-1 North Texas, or 10-2 Tulane?

I would think Duke gets in over Boise, but it would be close

It becomes dicey. 8-5 Duke or 9-4 Boise State. Boise State's best win would be UNLV or New Mexico. Duke's would be mediocre Clemon or NC State teams. My suspicion is that they'd put Duke in.

UNLV is probably the worst team of the three, but if they were to come back at 11-2 and with a win over UCLA, they might just garner enough support.

Possible 11-1 North Texas, or 10-2 Tulane?

The American winner is in regardless... just a matter if they're the 5th conference champ (if Virginia wins) or the 4th (if Duke wins)

 

[Marbles90]

Possible 11-1 North Texas, or 10-2 Tulane?

No. If JMU loses, we already know the winner of N Texas / Tulane is getting one of the 2 remaining auto bids - 5 auto bids go to the 5 highest ranked conference champions. But if Duke and Troy both win, who gets the last??

Duke is ranked pretty low but yeah, I gotta assume they get it.

 

[ScottVib]

Kennesaw with a tremendous final drive to come back and beat Jax State on the road.

Nobody expects a naked bootleg on 4th and 14.

The way their QB can move, it's surprising it was such a low scoring game. I think that guy would give our D fits.

 

[ScottVib]

JMU gets a pair of big runs to go up 10 on Troy.
