[QUOTE="mj claz, post: 369908, member: 1801"] What would happen in the following scenario: Miami and Clemson both make the playoff AND we beat Uga, UNC beats NC State, UVA beats VT If I'm not mistaken, the Orange Bowl selects the next highest ranked ACC team, not next best conference record (I don't know how this would be decided if there is no other ranked ACC team). Who would be ranked highest in this scenario? GT (6-5 w/ wins over Uga, VT, WF and nearly Miami and a canceled game), VT (8-4 w/ no significant wins), NC State (7-5 w/ no significant wins), Louisville (8-4 w/ no significant wins), Wake Forest (8-4 or 7-5 w/ no significant wins). If VT loses and Clem/Miami make the playoff, it would be a very lackluster participant going to play in the Orange Bowl (I would argue VT is still a lackluster participant regardless, but at least they've spent the season in the top 25). I do believe that we would have a good shot at being ranked highest by the committee under this crazy scenario given the criteria they seem to value the most when ranking teams, which is 1) who have you played and 2) who have you beat. Unfortunately, I do not think any of these teams would be ranked so we wouldn't get to find out. [/QUOTE]
