Does this kill the ACC?

I think stubbornness will say next year with 12 teams for playoff we would get our shot. They would do the same tired act everyone else uses. "Us against the world" "Us vs everybody"

ACC has some sort of contract that is preventing them from leaving, I believe.
Some would’ve already left had they not been locked into this contract.
The whole conference looks stupid calling itself the Atlantic Coast Conference and having west coast and Midwest teams in it

back in the 80's it was the Atlantic Coke Conference 😒

It sure hammers the ACC’s credibility. A team just went undefeated with two OOC wins at Death Valley and the Swamp got a participation ribbon. With the PAC 12 dying, they might as well refer to it as the Power 3 and G6.

They didn't play at Death Valley.

Sankey had an interesting comment that the ACC/PAC12/Big 10 "alliance" delayed the CFP expansion to 12 teams.

If the ACC hadn't been part of that fraud, then this issue is moot as FSU would have clearly made a 12 team playoff. The ACC helped to create this situation.

This is exactly right . Jim Philipps helped create this situation.

Bingo. Jim Phillips was the one who said that the ACC had bigger priorities than expanding the CFP. Well that really bit him in the ass didn’t it?

I'm surprised this isn’t getting more attention.

Playoff expansion sooner than next season would have solved all these so-called problems.

Phillips was afraid of 2-3 SEC teams making the expanded playoff field, and it bit him in the ass.

After today’s decision by the committee, doesn’t this kill the ACC. I can see FSU, Clemson and Notre Dame leaving.

They've certainly been put on notice but it may be too little, too late. The ACC should have been bringing in more talented programs before now.

What got killed was what little shred of credibility that the selection committee might have had left.

I’m not sure . Do you guys think that if this were a Clemson team coached by Dabo, a guy who has won multiple national titles gets in? I do. He has enough built up equity over time , and FSU and Norvel doesn’t have that w/ a backup QB and mid level SOS.

That and Dabo was blowing out almost everybody when they peaked. 2nd and 3rd string was playing most of the second half during the season. One reason they went into the playoffs without any key injuries

I think even if a team has a buyout to leave the conference, their media rights aren't released by tv contract until like 2035.

What it will take is a lawsuit against the media rights or reaching a settlement price for them.

I can see FSU or Clemson ponying up $100 to jump ship to SEC or B1G.

The problem is with someone coming to SEC is that Disney’s ESPN has no more money to fork over to SEC for those new members.

plus if what we just saw is that next year we will go back to beauty pageant records for those last 6 spots in CFP then the more the SEC beats up on each other, less SEC teams will get in and the lower their seeds will be.

Wouldn't it be crazy if FSU sued ncaa and playoffs committee and judge (FSU Alum) granted a temporary stay until their case was heard?

That would almost force the committee to go back and do an emergency 12 team implementation.

ACC commissioner was one of three commissioners to create a cartel to vote against the SEC’s desire for CFP-12.

The ACC and FSU have their chance in the Orange Bowl - if they were to somehow beat Georgia and end up 14-0, they will and rightfully should claim a National Championship especially if a one loss team ends up winning. FSU is NOT Liberty.

I heard though, Liberty’s beauty pageant record would have gotten them one of the 12 spots.

Why would ND leave? Their deal is like getting to sleep with your neighbors wife whenever you want but the cluck still works to support her.

This clearly tells FSU & Clemson they gotta get out.

If FSU and Miami want to join the SEC, let them. That would at least raise the stakes recruiting wise in the state and increase their rivalry intensity.

All very nice, but who gets kicked out so that FSU and Miami can take their spots? Or if no one is kicked out, what does that do to the scheduling, which they just finally seemed to work out to include Texas and Oklahoma?

I really don’t think the juice is worth the squeeze w/ those 2. Miami isnt really an SEC school to me. I think they’d fit better in the Big 12 at this point.

Clemson nor FSU moves the needle enough to generate big TV money increase. Plus, ESPN has the contract & they’ve already said they ain’t paying more. They ain’t cause they can’t. Disney is making them earn their way now.

Could it possibly be that Boo Corrigan torpedoed them in the committee room because of FSU’s very public desire to leave the ACC? He’s an ACC guy isn’t he? Put it this way, maybe he didn’t fight very hard. Never underestimate pettiness and revenge as factors in anything.

What is the point of backstabbing FSU if it castrates your own conference?
