The ACC title game should have been for winner a spot in the College Football playoff's not just for FSU if they win.
Of all the 2 loss teams before the start of the games today GT was the worse rated 2 loss team only above missouri. Why? Because the ACC gets no respect compared to the SEC. I even would suspect that if Auburn beats Alabama that a 3 loss Auburn team will rank higher than a 2 loss Tech Team. Why is a 3 loss team ahead of us. Why is Mich State 10 given a cream puff schedule and lsoing there 2 biggest challanges in the season against OSU and get crushed by Oregon. Not even playing Minn or Wisonsin. OPr, UCLA barely beating Virginia. Or Kansas State losing to every ranked team they played minus Oklahoma who they only beat by 1.
But why. Because the ACC gets no respect and is underrated. They are considered the weakest of the Power 5 but a look of the numbers doesn't suggest it.
The ACC is now
4-1 vs the SEC
2-0 vs the Big-12
1-1 vs The Pac 10
1-3 vs Big 10
However the one loss to a PAC-10 tem was UCLA over Virginia but by only 8 points, and of which UCLA was
in the upper echelon of the Pac 10 and Virginia bottom of ACC.
Versus the Big 10 the losses were Maryland beating Syracuse, Maryland middle of the conf. Syracuse bottom. Pitt losing to Iowa. Pitt bottom/middle of the conf and Iowa middle of the pack and Pitt losing by just 4. Nebraska beating Miami, Nebraska top of the conf and Miami bottom/middle. VT beating Ohio State of which Ohio State may be a CFP team.
So, we are 8-5 against the Power 5. 4-1 against the supposed giant that is the SEC.
So, why are we not in the middle of 2 loss teams or better and we should have been ranked at least 11-12 before the Georgia game especially since 1 of our losses was a last drive loss and a close Duke game who were ranked at the time. After the Georgia game we should have been 6-7 ranked after the Georgia game. However, I do not think we will break the top 10 or might not even be 10th
Well all is not lost because who would have thought that we were one loss by 5 points, last second away from playing FSU for a ACC title and chance for a CFP spot.
It gives hope that even with the limitations that we have as a program compared to the factory football programs that don't have our challenges (academics, etc. ) we can and will compete for a CFP spot in the future which this year gives me hope.
