Yurachek will use any means at his disposal

As we saw last year, the committee, led by that slime ball Yurachek, doesn't have to be consistent in their reasoning, and can flip flop on the criteria as much as they want until they get the desired result.

That being said, winning out would all but guarantee a spot in the playoffs, since the "Notre Dame" clause is in effect this year. I don't see any way we drop any further if we win out.
