Why play?

If the game gets canceled next week, both teams are probably in still the playoffs. If game is played and ND wins, Tigers are probably out. If Tigers win, ND is still probably in unless Florida beats Bama. I know we want revenge and to win the ACC, and there’s TV $$ involved, but this looks like risking a lot for not much. I know this is sacrilegious to point this out, but it’s just one more weird thing in the weirdest year in CFB history.

Because we want an ACC Championship. If we lose, we don't deserve to be there.

Some people have received too many "participation" trophies

How many more ways can someone make this ignorant post about not playing the ACCCG?

So, does winning an ACC Championship mean nothing now? It hasn't been that long ago that that was my primary hope....to win the ACC after twenty years of drought. I'm pretty proud of the fact that we've won more conference championships than any other school.

Truthfully, this HAS crossed my mind, too. But, what it came (comes?) down to for me is that this IS, after all, a ‘GAME’ most of us has played, and that is what it is all about, right? Playing. ‘W’s are great. Championships are great. Making big buck$ is great. But the bottom line is getting to ‘play’ (okay, competing is pretty addictive, too). I think as much as the fact FSU screwed us over by cancelling our game; the expense and effort to travel; etc. was annoying to Dabo and the team - the fact that they weren’t going to get to play was just as upsetting.
So, yes, playing (and losing or getting injured) involves risk, but that is the real reason for the sport - to play.
GO TIGERS - beat Notre Dame!!!!

Yeah, and if we lose to ND twice, then perhaps we don't deserve to get in.

If ND backs out, I hope the ACC let's the 3rd place team play for the ACCC. Even if the game is played Sunday or Monday.

Any word on why the opening spread of cl -7 1/2 moved this week to cl -10 1/2? That is significant.

I think it primarily means the money is coming in on Clemson so they had to move the line up pretty significantly to try to balance it out.

I think that if we do NOT play, it would make it easier for Florida to jump us, even if they don't quite beat Bama. It definitely helps OSU stay in the top 4.
So there are two reasons to play. To kick ND's ### and to mess with OSU.
