Louisville vs NCstate who should we want to win?
Oct 4, 2017, 9:53 PM
|
|
Is it better to have NC State have a loss and out of the top 25 or have Louisville take a loss and possibly drop out of the top 25? I'm voting for us having to play another top 25 will be best and Louisville climbs back up the ladder.
If you think we will lose at NC State then you want them to lose along with one more loss.
What is best for Clemson? [Results]

Keep them moving up so we can pick up another Tombstone.

I've gotta go with the Pack, just because they actually belong in the ACC.

Need Louisville to pick up the win.We already have the win there, but if we lose to State they would have the tiebreaker.

It really makes no difference.

If NCSU loses to Louisville and then beats us, The Pack still owns the tie breaker ... assuming no other ACC loses for either team.
Bottom line is that we're going to have to win in Raleigh even if Louisville beats NC State unless State stubs their toe as a favorite in some other game.

I think he's thinking about the possibility of 3-way ties.

If NC State loses to Louisville, but they beat us, assuming no other ACC teams beat them and us. That's gonna be 3-way ties.
Not sure why you'd think NC State will own the tie breaker in that scenario.

Yea go UL. Not sure of the tie breaker. Is it ranking or total W-L out of conference or what?

So it would probably go to us? We just need to take care of business though.

Is it not a simple head-to-head situation where Clemson, NC State and Louisville all have one loss, but NC State owns the tie breaker if they beat us head-to-head? Maybe it's more complicated than that.

And a team we already best abd hold the tie breaker against does is more good winning,

To win the division, we will have to beat State in all likelihood even if they lose to Louisville this week.

Because if Clemson is undefeated and NCSU has only a loss to Louisville, then losing to NC State gives us both one loss with NC State having the tie breaker because of head-to-head. Maybe I'm seeing it too simplistically?

Not funny. I know someone that was killed by one. He landed on one as part of a band of rough neck oil drillers helping the government to blow it up saving the earth.

Louisville. Need to think strategically. Can't now lose to Lville, not even in the Championship Game. State might put together a game like last year and maybe beat us. Slim chance, but a chance. But a team inconsistent enough to lose to the yardbirds is going to lose again. Let's pull for the result that gets us into the championship game regardless. we've knocked off 3 top 15 teams. We are not rising any higher with a victory over state whether they are 15 or 25.

pulling for L'ville....we have a win against them and, in essence, a 2 game lead over them in Atlantic.
That's an easy choice. A NC State loss helps Clemson.

Louisville without a doubt. We need NCSt to lose
Oct 5, 2017, 7:20 AM

Just in case you need the tie breaker scenario.
Also, we've beaten enough ranked teams for the season already. We will have to beat another one in ACCCG. So it helps for state to lose.

NC State. People only remember if a team is ranked when you play them. Everyone is still going to think of Louisville as a top 15 team when we played them even if they aren't ranked that high at the end of the season.
See: Alabama's win over FSU. They're still getting a ton of credit for that win even though we Clemson fans knew FSU sucked.

I believe I am correct in saying this...but we have to pull for UL because
If UL beats NCSt and we lose to NCSt, (and assuming we all win the other remaining games) there will be a 3 way tie.
All are tied through 6 tiebreakers. 7th tiebreaker goes to the team with the higher CFP ranking.

but if I had to pick it would be Louisville.....then we beat the wuffies emphatically. That should end any talk about the wuffies being a contender. Any team that loses to the dirtpeckers shouldn't be in the discussion.
