Looks like midterm week will be UNC if I'm guessing correctly

I love Paul Johnson.

“When building our conference schedule, the charge from our schools is to create a schedule that complies with our parameters to ensure competitive equity, fulfills our television obligations and maximizes exposure for ACC Football,”

I suspect this is the rationale.

Its odd that Clemson, Virginia Tech, and Louisville get no opponents who had a bye week before the game. The main teams most would think of for who would have a shot at making the CFP. No its not FSU, Wake, and Virginia. No its not Clemson, Pittsburgh, and Boston College. No, its not NC State, North Carolina, and Duke. All 3 teams are favorites at making the ACCCG.

But really, if the ACC won't even censure North Carolina when they run a fake University for several years, what should we expect?

UNC will be nothing special in 2017 they will probably win 6-7 games. They've lost a ton.

Go effing figure. I was surprised UNC didn't get an open b4 our game again but the conference still managed to screw us against them. I had hoped only we were aware of the trouble we have at midterms but the conference office is obviously, and unfortunately, aware also.

Is it too late to jump into the B1G with Notre Dame?

Or the American Athletic Conference

Mmmmmm no....we cut our nose off to spite our face once b4 (leaving the SEC) and that did us no favors then. Hell one could argue we still haven't fully recovered from that blunder, righteous reasons or not.

You hit it on the nose,

@GTNavyNuke might have a new believer in me next year for a MJ LJ platoon at the end of the season.

 

[Whiskey_Clear]

I'd only favor a platoon if there was zero separation between the 2 or if it was so close as to be nonexistent. Highly unlikely.

Let them prepare for both the jumbo(Mj, sham, big blocking ab and WR ) offense and the speed / pass offense (Lj, fast ab and pass catching WR) .

What's the deal on this schedule - so tilted against us.

 

[Milwaukee]

I love ya Paul, but just shut up and play. They can't stop you if the offense is executing.

Sounds like FSU has the same amount that we have.

Orlando is a fun trip and it's great if you've got kids because you could watch the Jackets lay a beating on the Knights and then take your kids to WDW that weekend.

Bad idea. Go to the game - great. But not WDW / Universal / SeaWorld. That would give too many GT fans an excuse for not buying tickets to a bowl game. ( We spent our budget in Orlando!)

Jeepers, I am scared to death we might someday get to the CFP. We would be the only school to not sell their allotment!

As for 2017 schedule, seems as if many are not really looking at it but just bye weeks. Chateau Elan should have such a whine fest. Hope our players do not read this preordained excuse making. As if in the last 5 years CU game had anything to do with bye week, or um in the last 9 years.

(Mikejacket the above does not mean you. The Orlando trip just cued some thoughts)

 

[Fatmike91]

Wow. 3 teams in a row come off a bye week before playing us. 3 in a row! The 3 in a row includes Miami and Clemson.

Point is though....no reason for either GT or FSU to be thus penalized. Once every four years...meh..OK. This **** is annual though and does create an advantage.

Small things separate a W from a L. We, and CPJ, have reason to *****. Coaches in particular stand to lose jobs and millions $$ in these scenarios. 9 wins vs 7 makes for vastly different temperatures on seats.

 

[Fatmike91]

While your at it, why do we get Clemson every year and VPISU gets Boston College?

I'm happy to play Clemson, but we shouldn't count the game toward representing the Coastal in the ACC Championship.

Yeah not having many fans at a Bowl Game looks really bad(at least to me).

We took 20,000 + fans to Dublin. I don't think we'll have any problem selling tickets for playoff games WHEN we get there.
