This literally makes no sense. Luck comes and goes for all teams of all effort levels. We have had an uptick in luck recently. Lets enjoy it while it lasts.

I mean, FSU is on that list as well. Pretty high up on that list. They spend boat loads of money. What did the media do for them? ESPN was already setting the narrative to exclude FSU from the playoffs even before Travis got hurt. In their own conference championship game ESPN announcers spent...

In 2021-2022 UVA spent over 150 million. So add them to the list. Can't wait to see them in the playoffs soon.

Clemson is not built like an SEC team. They are built like a great team. Or at least were a great team. Those aren't the same thing and the majority of teams in the SEC are not great teams. Most aren't even good teams.

I don't completely disagree with you, but when Clemson was winning two out of three national championships it did basically nothing for the ACC or it's perception. In fact we had to listen to idiots like Finebaum talk about how Clemson is built like an SEC team.

The go forward Big 12 finished with 5 teams in the top 25 in football and currently have 7 teams in the top 25 in basketball. They aren't some podunk conference that can't compete in anything. They just lack a football bell cow like FSU.

It will be a nearly annual thing. In the last 5 years if the 12 team playoffs existed with their current format then the ACC would have gotten a second team in one time. That would have been Pittsburgh in 2021. I highly doubt Pittsburgh would have actually gotten in as well with a loss to...

Im not sure what you are looking at but USC and UCLA did not announce they were leaving last month (Dec 2023). They announced it in June of 2022. https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/34173688/source-usc-ucla-considering-move-pac-12-big-ten

I don't really disagree with that but most non ACC fans would say the same about the ACC.

That was after USC, UCLA, and Colorado had announced they were leaving and after their own leadership blew up talks with ESPN when ESPN offered the conference 30 million per team per year and the Pac 12 leadership laughably counter offered at 50 million.

McMurphy is a respected sports writer who was reporting on information by Ross Dellenger, another respected sports writer. These guys likely aren't lying. They likely aren't risking their careers to put nonsense rumors out into the internet. It's up to you to not believe anything anyone says...

No clue. Not sure why you would think I would know that. I just know they were actively trying to break the GOR so they could leave.

There was no offer to the PAC last year with USC and UCLA. USC and UCLA announced they were leaving in July of 2022. I can't find anything detailing any offers the conference received before that. If you have it then please share. From most reports, they weren't even in deep negotiations at that...

You are comparing nonsense rumors to actual reporting by legitimate sports writers. There is some serious coping going on in this thread.

This was less than a year ago. You are fooling yourself if you think FSU is the only team that wants out.

It's probably worth mentioning also that ESPN is only obligated to pay an extra 24 million if a new team is added to the ACC. Roughly 7-8 million less than they make in the Big 12 unless they can convince ESPN to raise the payout for particular teams.

I wouldnt say the Big 12 is necessarily a better conference. It is certainly more stable. Their best program isn't currently suing the conference. They don't have a group of 7 teams that were reportedly trying to get out of the GOR so they can leave the conference. The ACC has good programs that...

You claimed that teams from the Big 12 would want to go to the ACC for the same reasons that ACC teams would want to go to the SEC/Big 10. I don't think those two scenarios are remotely comparable and I doubt you think so either.

So you think ACC -> Big 10/SEC right now is roughly the same as Big 12 -> ACC? You are comparing an 8-9 million dollar increase to a 30-40 million dollar increase. You are also comparing an unstable conference to one of the two mega conferences going forward. Those aren't really comparable. Not...

The Big 12 already has a 32 million dollar a year deal compared to the ACC's 40 million dollar deal. You don't think in 5 years they will be able to negotiate that higher? The ACC is stuck until 2036 if ESPN even decides to keep it. You can say they would be foolish not to but they were supposed...
