Acc title game

[Little J]

To think Florida state could end up in the playoff. Refs doing all they can to put FSU in. Big $$ at stake.

Then there is Louisville - lost to a sec team and to lowly Pitt.

The ACC sucks!

 

[Psubiomed]

No matter how much Lando wants it Michigan has to play Alabama in a few weeks.

 

[Chickenman Testa]

You put FSu in there and 1 team has a Iowa-like walkover to the title game

 

[psu00]

With 7:43 left in the second quarter-

FSU offense-
30 yards total.
12 yards passing
18 yards rushing.

Not if UM and FSU both win. Then it’s a preview of next year’s UM/Texas game

Are you watching FSU tonight?
You're 100% they're in regardless?

It's a damn shame because with Jordan Travis at QB, the Noles are a legit playoff team.

But the O they're showing tonight with the freshman 3rd-stringer behind center is pretty horrible. Fortunately for them, Louisville's O looks even worse.

Bama will be in. The committee can’t be watching this FSU team and think they should be in

I'm with you. It's honestly a disservice to the sport to put in FSU without Jordan Travis

 

[psu00]

Watching FSU tonight- the committee can not let them in. This is beyond inept offensive play. I realize it’s their 3rd string QB but their #1 QB is out for the year and #2 is questionable from a concussion.

It’s just about halftime and it’s 3-0 FSU. Florida State has 80 total yards on 7 offensive possessions in the half.

Right now Iowa could take FSU. They’ve been that inept on offense.

 

[canuckhal]

This is one ugly game. Thought L'vile would win with FSU QB injuries, but didn't know their offense is that bad.

 

[doctornick]

I’m sure the Committee members are all hoping Louisville wins and makes their choice easy.

 

[Aardvark86]

I have to say the Dr Pepper scholarship challenge is the gayest thing ever. They should make the nerds throw the football the correct way rather than as a basketball chest pass.

 

[doctornick]

Regarding the FSU QB situation, Rodemaker would be back for the playoff, so if you are going to diss FSU for “not having a good enough offense” you would have to take that into account. To the extent that those factors should play into a decision over the total body of work. It would be an easy thing for the Committee to point to in order to avoid having to not include an undefeated team.

 

[Jerry]

I’m sure the Committee members are all hoping Louisville wins and makes their choice easy.

At this point I'm hoping the same thing. Otherwise we might be looking at a Michigan-Florida State matchup in the first game, which would almost amount to the equivalent of a bye for the Wolverines.

I mean, with the 3rd-string guy at QB, the Noles look worse than Iowa on offense. I'd much rather see Michigan have to take on either Alabama or Texas in the first game.

It sucks that things broke this way for Florida State, but such is life.

What has Rodemaker shown? He looked poor against 5-7 Florida

But as Booger said, the committee is not supposed to be trying to come up with the matchups people want to see. As fans the thing we should want to see more than anything is consistency. Undefeated P5 conference champions have always gotten in… if they change that up because a team they want to be in it gets left out, then the system has even less credibility than we ever thought.

 

[LandoComando]

Forgot about Storm Duck until right now lol

Booger also said "I know it's about the 4 best teams but I care about deserving" which makes everything he said moot.

Im thinking they will get their wish, I can’t see FSU winning this game, plus Bama gets lucky a lot and things fall their way.

 

[AWS1022]

Why in the world is there a Michigan fan (in full Michigan gear) sitting at the ACC championship game while his “beloved” Wolverines are playing in the Big 10 championship game?

 

[knickslions]

10-3 fsu

 

[LandoComando]

10-3 fsu

Yeah, Louisville can't defend the wildcat which is literally FSU's only way to move the ball. Real bad for those that want good games in the playoff.

Agreed, but the point is if Florida State loses tonight, then there's no argument. They won't be in and shouldn't be.

Actually, come to think of it, I'm wondering what that would mean for our NY6 prospects. Maybe better for us if the Noles win and make the playoff?

If FSU loses, then Bama is definitely in and should be. Georgia should not be in however.

We're in regardless and Louisville is in the Orange regardless so no impact.

 

[fastlax16]

Wtf was that

 

[LandoComando]

I don't think either of these teams could beat Iowa

 

[doctornick]

Georgia needed both FSU and UM to lose and well Iowa ain’t scoring 21

 

[knickslions]

What a gutsy victory by FSU

 

[KCLion]

What does this say about the rest of the ACC that Louisville was the runner-up?

We all know how bad the ACC is even if some won't admit it
Apparently the ACC is only bad when Pitt wins it

 

[jmorovich]

Greatest thing to come out of this win is SEC locked out of the playoffs. Why would you want FSU out and Bama in?? Nothing I’d love to see more than those hillbillies losing their collective minds about being left out of a system they created to get 2 teams in annually. This is glorious.

 

[doctornick]

I’m curious as to whether Louisville is the rep to the Orange Bowl. Could be NC State (probably not though)

 

[step.eng69]

Penn State would be a good `fit` in the ACC?
😉

 

[LandoComando]

FSU Clemson UNC and Virginia Tech should join the SEC
Notre Dame and Utah/Arizona to the Big Ten
Then we can stop pretending anyone else matters. Go from 20 to 24 eventually but the ACC and Bid XII getting a bye next year is a joke

I like to see the ratings of the conference title games over time. This all is meant to increase college football popularity, and maybe it is overall, but for certain people, like me, it just sucks. The conference title games are not interesting to me in the slightest. For that matter, the playoff isn't either unless a particular team I'm interested is in it. I'm more likely to watch some Dec 28 bowl game two 8-4 teams than I am the over-hyped playoff.

 

[Marylovesthelions]

Anyone who would compare an ACC undefeated team to a one defeat SEC, BTN team is naive, injured QB or not.

I really like the conference championships but usually don’t really watch the CFP games. I watch the regular bowl more than the CFP playoff games - they are just as entertaining and honestly I’m usually sick of the overhyping of the CFP participants by that point.

Do you watch the Pro Bowl and skip the Supe Bowl too?
