HokieHigh Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 ACC should focus on maintaining its historical dominance in basketball. They are not equals. The best players on ACC squads would often be buried on SEC rosters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PossibleCabbage Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 The funny thing about the CFP committee pulling the okey-doke and putting Alabama in over undefeated FSU is that if you look at all the composite metrics Alabama isn't actually the #4 team (and neither is FSU)- it's Ohio State.

Michigan good lately, but they are getting trounced by Alabama. Penn State, good lately not great. The rest are average (Iowa, Wisconsin) then down right ****ty the rest of the league. Now, when you add in Washington, Oregon, USC and UCLA it's a different story. Most of the Big Ten gets destroyed by decent teams out of conference. Top to bottom, year in and year out, the ACC would smoke the Big 10. The vast majority of Big Ten schools are stuck in the '90s offensively. Outside of Ohio State there have been very few really good quarterbacks. The Big Ten is the most overrated conference in college football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you watched Ohio State's quarterback play, you know they are not one of the 4 best teams. They did have a defense this year. Their quarterback was so bad, Ryan Day told him to hit the portal because they were bringing in somebody to replace him. If Notre Dame could count to 11 they would have beaten Ohio State and Notre Dame sucks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you don't actually believe this or think that makes any sense at all. You're way too invested in being wrong on all of this. You can't possibly care enough about this to care this much about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beating Alabama isn't the same as Alabama AM which is why records aren't the end all... Yes, of course, I'm not arguing against this. That this exists at all is a major reason why it's all so dumb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extend the playoff and I guess that's it. CFB isn't amateur anymore and I get that but it's not pure pro sports either. Maybe I'm too glass half full on it at all, but it allows me to enjoy it.

Norm Posted December 6, 2023 Author Share Posted December 6, 2023 So if FSU is in, Alabama is out. Is that the general thought? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
