[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 987270, member: 1640"] If I may speak for him, what the ACC needed to do to get FSU in the playoffs they should have started doing 30 years ago. The SEC came up with a consistent narrative that they pushed through good seasons and bad seasons. The B1G also was consistent with their brand. Both conferences showed they were also willing to play hardball if the media didn’t fawn over them or the refs screwed up a game or the polls slighted them or TV contracts weren’t sufficient or…..the track record is extensive and consistent. Again, I am willing for someone to talk me off this ledge but my gut level feeling is that leadership has been relentlessly weak which has insured that every team is on its own and any team that doesn’t have a coach, staff and administration spitting fire is going to get kicked in the teeth, either by the conference or the national media. As pointed out many times, the SEC was down this year (the ACC owned them in head to head) and it didn’t even put a dent in the narrative. Had the SEC not done what they’ve done for 40 years, if they had waited until this year to argue that the SEC champ could in no way be left out of the playoffs, then they would just be more like the ACC with teams that get slighted, teams that don’t get preseason rankings, and teams that are left to flounder without support.
