Message: [QUOTE="shantydaze, post: 5244425, member: 666"] Right now, the ACC has a perception problem. It cost an undefeated FSU a bid last year. It is demonstrated by how lowly ranked Miami and SMU are this year. What it also does is provide mid-level B1G and SEC teams a recruiting advantage by pointing out that the ACC (or XII) are one-bid leagues, but if you go to Purdue or Vandy and have a special year, multiple bids for the B1G or SEC means there is a shot, even with a loss or two, to make the playoffs. If there is going to be further consolidation and just one of the ACC or XII will survive as a power conference, the ACC needs to consistently be a multi-bid league (hopefully at the expense of the XII). While I would also like the ACC teams win or at least lose by a respectable margin, in the end, memories are short and I think being a multi-bid league whose teams get destroyed is less of an issue long term than being a single bid league.
