Sadly, this article is probably accurate regarding the


Jul 27, 2020, 7:26 PM

ACC. It basically says that Notre Dame competing for the ACC title is not a request by Notre Dame, but rather a demand by the ACC in exchange for giving Notre Dame a full slate of games. I know it is hard to believe. The writer says that the ACC wants it that way for money, bigger ratings and perhaps a better championship game.

So there goes Swofford, on his way out the door, selling out the ACC's integrity in a big way. Not only that, the article indicates that doing this will help Clemson. He says Clemson should be happy that it will improve our schedule strength and make it easier to get into the playoffs if we have beaten Notre Dame twice. That's a load of crap. Clemson would have no trouble getting into the playoff if undefeated and one of the wins over Notre Dame. Now, to the joy all of the other power five conferences and the ACC office, we might have to beat them twice. Everybody's happy with this except Clemson. The other ACC teams done care because they weren't going to make the playoff anyway. Although they might care about their conference membership being open to any whim of the powers that be. The other power five conferences should be thrilled with this as it demeans ACC membership and makes it harder for Clemson and Notre Dame to make the playoff in one swipe.

But the most stunning thing I see in this article is that Notre Dame eligibility for the league title is something the ACC is shooting for, whil Notre Dame is fighting it.

Only way it helps Clemson is ND is in the Coastal and we lose reg season but beat them in the ACCCG. Other than that senario, forget it. All In or Not!

Based on that article if the ACC wants a better championship game then maybe they should pick the top two teams each year regardless of divisions the way the Big 12 does it.

I guess he should have said late in the game since FB schedules are made years in advance, and the conference schedule is finalized in Feb/Mar. Not having a schedule by the last week of July is very late in the game.

I don't give a FK in we can beat ND a dozen straight times, they don't belong in the ACCCG bc they are not a ACC team. Not only that, the ACC refs would be paid off to assure a ND win!!!

We will have to beat ND twice to get in the CFB playoff. If we split the 2 games with ND, neither one of us will make the playoffs.

What good does it do if it's just for one year and things return to normal next year. I think this is just one model on paper someone pitched but will never happen.Also not buying the other ACC teams don't care because they will not make it anyway to the championship game. Bull. One of them will.

Good point about the other ACC teams. They are not happy

Hard to believe. Why would the rest of the ACC like this?


Jul 27, 2020, 8:47 PM

First, it’s humiliating. Like bringing in a ringer because none of them can handle Clemson. Second, it’s an embarrassment to the league to be so flippant with our membership. It’s bad enough we let them in as a partial member. Third, if ND makes to the ACC championship, It means that one of them was left out. That hurts recruiting and fan support...and bowls.

And we don’t need to beat ND twice to make the playoffs. Even if we did it just turns the national narrative into “ND wasn’t as good as we thought.”

Crazy.

Well, it could be use as a contract breach, and we could leave if that's what they would want to do without the $50 mil buyout!!! I'm betting that if Clemson did pull out the ACC, ND would join the next day ;)

We haven't needed any of Swofford's or the ACC help to get in 5 playoff games, and 4 national championship games. Swofford isn't trying to help, he is making his own attempt to try and stop Clemson!!! AD and Dabo should refuse to play ND in a ACC championship game because they are NOT a ACC team. That would be like Clemson going and playing in another conference championship game, that they would not allow in any way shape or form!!! Dabo's job is for him to get us to the ACCCG, and beat the best coastal ACC team. What Swofford is attempting, is just like putting a hit on Clemson, a bounty to knock us off by bringing in an outside team to do it!!!

Some may not see it, but our FB team would be better than we are now if we were in the SEC. Those top recruits we lose bc they want to play in the SEC, we would have a much better chance at getting those also, especially if we're beating the top SEC teams as we have been doing. We are 2-2 against Bama in the NCG!!!

As I have said before, be glad we won our modern Natties when we did. Things are finna be very different.
