Miami says hello
They won’t be the ACC champ. It says 5 highest rated conference champs.
They aren’t going to put two G5 schools in. They hasn’t been projected by anyone anywhere
If Duke wins, it is possible to probable.
I misunderstood. Doesn’t it all come down to them ranking jmu?
It does. I actually think the committee would do everything they could to put Duke ahead of JMU in the final rankings.

Agree that Miami should get a bid if an ACC is required to get a bid. UVA had a relatively easy nonconference schedule. Miami played ND and Florida (even if a down year fur Florida)
No league is required to get a bid. 5 highest ranked conference champs get auto-bid. Miami would not be the champ. If Duke wins it would open the door for this to happen if JMU is ranked.
I realize that. I just believe Miami should get the nod and I am not a Miami fan. Teams do not play everyone in conference and you only have 8 or 9 conference games. I think the rule around winning the ACC championship or any conference championship is a little overrated if one team has an easier conference schedule than another team. Not saying this did happen or not. To me, you have a larger body of work in basketball with the number of games played. I do not make the rules. As such, Miami could be on the outside looking in. However, I personally believe they should be the representative as I believe they are better than both Virginia and Duke.

Miami would have to get in as an at-large. They aren’t evening playing in the title game. I’m posing the question based on the CFP rules and not what we think should happen if Duke were to win. Based on rules Miami getting in would not affect taking 5 highest rated conference champs.

To tell a school like Virginia who goes 11-2 and wins the acc and their only loss was when their quarterback was knocked out of the game, sorry we like this other school better, even though they didn’t win the conference and faltered along the way seems flawed

I realize the rules. Just saying what my personal opinion is based upon the OOC and what I have viewed on the TV screen in conference games. Yes, Va. gets in if they win. Those are the rules. It does not mean that I think Va is the better team than Miami.
I just do not believe they are.
If Dook wins, I believe Miami should get in for ACC. However, the rules are not written to allow this. It will then follow however the rules dictate.
