EDIT as Nate23VT reminded me the top 5 conference winners get in, not just the top 4. Adjusted my predictions below.
So, coming back to the original question of who I am thinking will be picked - not who I want or think should be picked, but who will be - I'm guessing this:
0 or 1 AAU - probably 0 as I doubt Army or Tulane is ahead of UNLV if they win and they are definitely below Boise State
1 ACC - SMU-Clemson winner
4 Big 10 - Oregon, Penn State, Ohio State, Indiana
1 Big 12 - Arizona State-Iowa State winner
1 Independent - Notre Dame
1 or 0 MWC - Boise State if they win and probably UNLV if they win
4 SEC - Texas, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama
Hokies scored 28 or more points in nine games. That's not an offense problem.
I would love Ryan Day there. We would still get a guaranteed W every year.

Oh of course. It's the coup de grace. It's where the power lies. Always has been.
Ball Game!

He really did Quin Blanding proud
There sure are some odd folks up there in cville
Vanderbilt cost me the 6-0 week by not playing football in the second or third quarters.
Will be interesting to see how far Miami falls after the loss. Likely it will be conveniently 13th to move Alabama up into top 12 which is utterly ridiculous with their losses. There are too many teams with only one or two losses to have a three loss team in but we all know how it works.
Colorado is not a bubble team. Not even in their conference championship. Don't mind me while I celebrate.
Don't see them putting Boise St in if they lose the MWC unfortunately. If they don't I want Boise to play Colorado in a bowl.
Any bubbles will go the SEC way unfortunately.
Oh yes. Sorry, should clarify. I agree that Miami was vastly over-rated. My point was that if Miami was in the SEC, he would not have said that publicly.
We lost to three 9-3 teams and a 10-2 team. We beat three teams with teams with winning records.
Rutgers was our worst game. And Vandy was avoidable 1 penalty away from winning.
If you compare to last year we did better.
Since I live 40 minutes from Raymond James Stadium, I would be down with this!
Also - credit to all of you who went to tonight's game. That's a lot of hours in the cold!
I really don't think that is the case, and Alabama has wins over Georgia, South Carolina, Mizzou, and LSU. MIami's best win is Florida? There's no doubt about the SEC getting preferential treatment along with the B1G, but Miami's resume is really not impressive at 10-2 and a lack of quality wins, certainly compared to Alabama's wins. You can maybe argue Florida over LSU given they beat them head to head, but Georgia and South Carolina are two wins that are clearly better than Miami's best win.
Yes having the 13th scoring offense and 8th scoring defense would be good
Hoos will fit right in!
Could you do me a favor and just analyze #3's overall game last night? It genuinely looked like he was mentally on another planet all game long. Every time I saw him out there, it looked like he was just going through walkthrough drills. Shied away from tackles all night, made more than a few business decisions for himself.
First Tuten TD, but highlighting how No. 3 for UVA did everything in his power not to tackle Tuten. He wanted zero smoke.
You have to leave the last grant Noel full name as long as possible
In fairness, the Ivy League is nowhere near as good as it thinks it is.
3 things:
1) you have to be a better school than uva to be an ivy, and it's cute they think they're on par with Duke and Vandy, UVA is a safety school for all others mentioned
2) Vandy ain't leaving money on the table to go Ivy
3) Ryan Day ain't coming there
3)
Coming back from a commercial break, 7:39 in the 2nd. Tony Elliott was super cold and got his hand warmers out.
Have to look at the standings in detail, but off the top of my head, my guess is UNLV does not make it even with a win. After all, we need to make sure Alabama gets in no matter what. Also skeptical SMU gets in if they lose, though they would (presumably) be replaced by Clemson. SMU is very bubble-ish to me if they lose. Can't imagine BYU, Colorado or Big XII loser making it in.
By the way, just went to look at the final standings and this pops up on the feed:
"Why Finebaum views Miami as a fraud after Syracuse loss"
The answer is, of course, because Miami is in the ACC and we have to get Alabama in. No need to read further. If Miami was in the SEC, it was because Syracuse is really good and underrated, so a quality loss and Miami is even more deserving.
The teams that beat us were a combined 50-22
The teams we beat were 36-36.
