[QUOTE="ClydeBrick, post: 291396, member: 1329"] I have been thinking about this tread for a while. So much SEC envy in here. But hey I get it, and I hate to admit to it too. What about the opposite: You are about to enter another dimension. A dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land of imagination. Next stop, the GT-still-in-the-SEC Zone! Imagine if Darwin Holt stopped at the whistle. Imagine if Bryant made it to the SEC meeting and was able to get Frank Rose to vote to reduce scholarships to 32. GT would be looking at the ACC for OOC games. None of the GT ACC "rivalries" would have ever existed. Outside of Clemson (a team that GT had a long history of using as a [I]"cupcake"[/I]), which of the ACC schools would we want GT to play? If all we want is for GT to be challenged or to have a game of the week type of spotlight, who would we want? F$U? - Sure, they have been nationally relevant and have a the goods. Who else? Miami? Maybe back in the 1980's. VT? Nah, that trophy case is still empty. Duke, UNCheat, UVa, Pitt? Why? Wake, NCS, BC? Who? Syracuse, Louisville? Are we talking about round ball? (2016 has seen some upgrades in the ACC, but for this thought exercise we are in the SEC Zone and one year's performance does not make for easy predictions for games that are going to be 5+ years down the road.) Hmmmmmm. Returning to reality - I bring this up to show that GT has to do two things to get to the NC game; 1) Win the ACC, 2) Be undefeated. (And hope that the rest of the ACC has had a good year.) GT football needs to consistently handle the task that is already before it; the ACC. Playing marquee OOC opponents will make #2 harder and doing #1 is hard enough. Besides, playing marquee OOC opponents requires consistent excellence in conference (or be an FCS school). Do that and everything else will fall into place. [/QUOTE]
