FBS Championship Games and FCS Playoff Games for Dec 5-6

[bpo57]

ACC stinks but they have a great command center.

 

[Scooch]

That’s being generous, looks not even half full. Honestly, the atmosphere/setting there versus that of the SEC and B1G Championship games is night & day. And, IMO, speaks for itself relative to just how much ACC football (comprehensively) is a complete impersonator at the power conference level.

The traditional powers, or teams with big fanbases, just rarely deliver, outside of Clemson. Miami’s been in the conference for 22 years and made the champ game 1 time. FSU has made it once in the last 10 years. VaTech hasn’t been in it since 2011.

Football expansion has been an ongoing disaster of poor performance and missed opportunities since 2003.

And now hoops stinks too.

I’ve really grown to dislike being in this conference. And yet it’s somehow still the best home for us in this garbage era of college conferences.

Had two losses against unranked teams. From all of the discussion I had to go back and check the records to make sure. Pundits seem to gloss over that.

Talking about losing to unranked teams. Hard to reconcile Alabama losing to 5-7 Florida state. They seem to be getting a pass.

I am predicting that Miami jumps BYU but ND jumps Bama so that Miami and ND are not next to each other.

Ha. That would be so fitting and it seems like that's what the "committee" wants to do anyway. Just ridiculous. I'm no miami fan, but man, I'd be livid the last two weeks. ND and Miami are almost identical in records and meaningful stats. To not let the head to head determine this even if they're two spots away is bs. One of the problems they face is that the "committee" sort of boxed themselves in with earlier rankings and comments. I see the only way Miami gets in is if ND doesnt' jump bama, so guess what will happen, ND will jump bama so they can pick nbc.

“Alabama really just showed a great effort on the touchdown drive against one of the finest teams in the nation, that’s why they’re in” - the committee chair probably

 

[Nicknack]

To be fair, I think bama deserves a spot. Yeah, bad loss against FSU, but they did take care of business rest of the way except for Oklahoma (and tonight's game) - wins against #5, #16, #14, #11. This evening's game shouldn't cost them in my opinion. Their resume looks much more impressive than miami or ND. They're in, even though I'd prefer them out.

 

[Blanko97]

Still more folks than at a Rutgers “sellout”.

FIFY

I tend to agree with you. They have played poorly down the stretch (the last five games) though.

7-5 Duke Beating 10-2 Virginia would be SO SO SO ACC

That's it. That's all I got.

It's crazy that none of the ACC teams that recruit top 15 classes every single season could top these two scrub schools. Lol

Indiana takes a 3rd quarter lead on the Buckeyes. Nice

I have to admit I haven’t watched IU at all this year. I am very impressed. Stout D. Offense has done well until they hit the red zone until this TD. FGs don’t beat OSU. Glad they’re up and I hope they can keep it up.

 

[dasher]

I just worked out and took a shower. How did Ohio st not score? They were first and goal when I went in?

 

[llandz]

This is such a good game. Mendoza is so good. The defenses are insane when you watch the tackling. They hit hard. Flip players over.

Stopped on downs.

That was overturned on review. Clear shot of his knee going down and the helmet not at the 1st down line, and so the football could not have crossed the line.

thank you.

 

[bpo57]

IU's QB > OSU's QB

 

[Scooch]

UVA is gonna choke their game away. What a garbage football conference the ACC is.

 

[orangemass]

Shepard for duke is a stud

I'm excited about the last 24 hours as a Cuse fan but I still can't believe we are at the bottom of this garbage conference

It’s a vast sea of mediocrity.

The ACC was so much better pre-2003. Expansion has somehow destroyed both its football and men’s basketball.

I take solace in knowing Miami has never won an ACC championship

 

[dwilmont44]

Virginia is awful

 

[Scooch]

Ballgame. No ACC in the playoffs.
