It was over anyway, and I’m sure the Noles will rationalize that it’s the fault of the conference, but the reality is the committee (and the NC State AD, an idiot) fucked them so that they could put in their preferred brands.
Ok fair. But how does leaving the ACC help that? Lots of NC State people hate our AD too, fwiw. He’s soft.
maybe we should kick NC State out of the ACC since their AD sucks and doesn't stack the deck for his comrades?
So the idea is that Boo Corrigan wants to fuck fsu and receive less money for his athletic department for….reasons?
The ACC is the most hating ass group of schools imaginable, headed by decades of incompetent leadership. Yes, I can believe someone involved stepped on our (the acc's) collective dick for absolutely no reason.
the people in charge of the committee who only care about money and the TV network that dominates the conversation and coverage and only cares about money pick the team that will make them more money posters: this is all the ACC's fault
^ no conference solidarity. That's why we fail. And of course the ACC guy isn't solely responsible. We're already fucked.
FSU just got left out because Bama and Texas are a bigger draw. You’re not beating them out for a spot just because you’re in the same league, if you’re even in contention.
This is conjecture. What is pretty clearly a fact is that going undefeated in the ACC is meaningless.
Plus we're about to be broke. And everyone outside of us, Clemson, UNC, Miami, and maybe a couple others are content to just go down with the ship, laughing at everyone trying to find a life raft. Hating ass conference.
lol as if Boston College (or Duke) is supposed to kneecap themselves financially so Florida State can keep up with the Joneses
maybe stop being so poor, then you would be able to solve your own problems. some of us are doing just fine.
But seriously, if it came down to a choice between an undefeated Clemson and 1-loss SEC champ for the final spot in the playoff, you’re kidding yourself if you think the outcome is any different than it was today
the record isn’t relevant. FSU got fucked because Travis got hurt and then the backup couldn’t show he was competent like Ohio st in 2014, because he also got hurt. I don’t think it should have gone down like that, I agree FSU deserved to be in, but the record isn’t part of it I don’t think. The committee wanted a bigger brand, at full strength, which is shitty. Bama proved all year they didn’t deserve a spot, but their last game counted more for some reason.
You say this as if it wasn’t perfectly clear what that reason was. And if it was truly the injury, why rank us 4th last week?
Is their star qb healthy in this hypothetical, because if so then yes I'd 100% expect Clemson to get in here I know it sucks
well yeah they're full of shit and didn't want an FSU with a deadbeat qb ruining their little shindig
