[QUOTE="orientalnc, post: 983102, member: 1199"] I feel we and most other D1 schools have the illusion of playing for championships. I have heard fonts of this board talk (post) about us getting into the CFP. My take on the current hierarchy is that Clemson and FSU are actually the only ACC schools playing to get into the CFP. The rest of us are trying to win eight or nine games and get into a decent bowl game. If Key can get us to an annual expectation of 9-3 or 8-4 he could be here for life. No one really expects us to win 11 or 12 games. And, this is in the ACC where only two teams are in that elite expectations class. In the SEC only Vandy would be satisfied with what we dream about. Jimbo Fisher was fired at A&M for only winning 45 games in 6 years. The illusion of winning all of our games and being invited to the CFP is what we would lose by not playing big boy "pro lite" football. I wonder how long it will be before the teams in that group make college enrollment an administrative requirement only. Class attendance and progess toward a degree might become optional or non-existent. If you are playing pro football, then football is what you're doing and classes are a distraction from the core objectives. [/QUOTE]
