(Sorry.) Miami has not been relevant for decades. Their last Natty was 21 years ago. And, in the Social Media age, where the Thugs at Thugga You can't hide from the spotlight, they will never be relevant again.

It remains to be seen if FSU will return, or if we are seeing the nearly first decade of a longer decline.

Trumpeting a SHARED GT Natty from 1990 as them being relevant as a football program? Please.

And as far as Virginia Tech, even in the Beamer glory years, they were just "Close, but No Cigar" at their best. And, their best is LONG gone. Same with Pitt as far as any even recent past glories.

Facing facts, Clemson is the Power ONE in the ACC, and even with us completing at the highest level, this conference is barely treading water at still being considered in the Power Five. If the ACC were a stock, there would be panic SELL!, SELL!, SELL! orders all over Wall Street.

If all these realignments happen, and Clemson remains stuck in the severely financially disadvantaged ACC, we better hope and pray that the Playoffs DO get expanded, otherwise we will lose our seat at the table.
