……. And then, suddenly, NC St DOESN’T look like a pushover at all. Before you say “it’s only Stanford”, when is the last time we hung 59 on a conference opponent …… or anyone for that matter?

GT put up 400 yards and almost 250 on the ground. We’ve obviously seen many defenses stop GT’s running game - IMO that tells you something about how soft the offenses Duke played before that were. They don’t have the level of physicality some other defenses do. SMU nearly put up 500 yards themselves.

The only game in their last 4 where they allowed <400 yards was FSU and we all know how bad that offense has gotten.

14 points thru 50 minutes. Our offense came alive in the 4th quarter. For 3 quarters we were very average.

A win would be great. Yards don’t matter. Points do and Miami’s low total was 36. We need 40 points. I just don’t see that based on the season to date. Hope so.

Fellas… I believe the pollsters are the only thing that’ll keep SMU out of the ACCCG

Looks like SMU deep NIL is paying off

Did in the early 80’s before it was legal.
I could be wrong but I think having SMU in the ACC ( being in Dallas) will help the ACC.
Anyone remember when they came in the ACC they give up their money. But if they make it to the championship game and make the playoffs will they get that money?

Really? So.. (hypothetically) if SMU & Miami are both unbeaten in ACC play but Clemson is ranked higher than SMU... it's Miami v Clemson in ACCCG?

I’ll go ahead and answer affirmatively. Someone will be along to correct me if I’m wrong
I think with the elimination of divisions and no way to have remotely equal schedules, the polls control. It’s the top two by rank, regardless of their conference record.

ACC tiebreaker scenarios 2024: How Clemson or Miami could be left out of title game despite unbeaten record

The potential for three ACC teams -- Clemson, Miami and SMU -- finishing 8-0 has created a chaos scenario

Found this. It sounds way more complicated than my current mindset can decipher. I could be convinced I’m wrong about something… but not another drink. That’s not wrong… ever… until tomorrow.

Lol. I actually tried to figure it out (recently)... & my brain broke. Seriously thought I was just making it too hard (old-man-itis) & assumed someone could actually explain it to me like I was a 5th grader.
