Yeah, what the rest of the ACC does doesnt matter
Dec 29, 2015, 7:35 PM

Are you freaking kidding me?! Did you people learn nothing this year about the playoff committee?! A sucky ACC hurts us... it matters! It can hurt ranking, perception, and your chance of even making the playoff. You complain about lack of respect... a tougher ACC is part of getting that respect. I hope the ACC wins every bowl game.

Dec 29, 2015, 7:54 PM

out as the #1 overall seed after the ACC's undefeated team from last year was #3. It seems like they thought we were the clearcut #1 as well.

Jumping us? And if so, how do you explain a 1 loss team that beat no Top 10 teams being debated over a undefeated team that beat 3 top 10 teams?

moreso than it was seriously debated in the committee meetings. If you ask Jeff Long if they debated putting Bama at 1, what is he going to say? No, not at all?

college football, they were in the playoffs last year, and if you watched them play, they looked really good.

Bama jumped undefeated teams from EVERY conference
Dec 29, 2015, 8:24 PM
[ in reply to And... CONFERENCE PERCEPTION ] |
|
this was the second rankings (week 10). They jumped 4 undefeated teams, from other conferences, but NOT Clemson. They even jumped OHIO STATE, the defending National Champ.
there's not much any team - or any conference - can do when dealing with The Bama Syndrome.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF RANKINGS, NOV. 10
RANK TEAM RECORD
1 Clemson 9-0
2 Alabama 8-1
3 Ohio State 9-0
4 Notre Dame 8-1
5 Iowa 9-0
6 Baylor 8-0

8 Oklahoma State 9-0

as long as SECPN is in charge of things. If the ACC had 4 undefeated teams, Bama would still be ahead of 3 of them with a loss (maybe even two).

I am hoping that coaching changes at VT and Miami bring some respectability back to the other division. I agree that we need more ACC teams to be nationally relevant than Clemson and FSU.

I don't understand why we continue to debate about conference strength. The rankings are based upon opinion. When a conference is perceived stronger than another it is reflected in the rankings.

I disagree. I think Clemson , FSU , MIAMI , VT and to a lesser extent GT and UL are all teams that will get invites with undefeated or 1 loss seasons provided they win conference .
It looksto me lile as an ACC team , you may have to win the conference championship and have no more than a single loss on the record to be a playoff team .
I don't get too wrapped up in the media downtalking the league as a whole, we have had a representative in it every year now , so that kind of negates the whole " but your conference is weak " debate .
