[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 883632, member: 2426"] That list of marquee matchups can change yearly and easily change every five years. Are USC and UCLA really "marquee" matchups now? They are closer to your examples of FSU and Auburn. They have a market and they have brand history. Clemson has won 10 plus games since 2011, but were only a good/decent team through the 90s and 2000s. Texas won 10 plus games through the 2000s, but has been mainly a 5-8 win team since then. "Marquee" matchups can change even during the season. It is very likely that some of the games that people think will be in the top ten games of the 2022 season will end up being irrelevant. I don't think there is a way out of the GOR, even if 10 ACC teams decide to leave. (The GOR language that is available says that every current member has to vote to end it. The remaining four could invite at least four more in to keep above 7.) I think that the discussion about marquee matchups and wanting to see this team vs that team is all simply "fan" talk. You can't make long term decisions based on short term data. Even with Alabama, they could turn into the current FSU when Saban is no longer coaching. [/QUOTE]
