we’re feeling the day after an epic butt-kicking of our state rival. We’re a 6-6 team with a lot of work yet to do.

We had good wins against the teams we should have beaten. We had zero wins against anybody else.

how can that be? We’re favored over NCSt. Does that mean we’re the favorites to be in the ACC championship (at the moment)?

See this link for an overview: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Promotion_and_relegation As an example, and only for illustrative purposes, suppose the SEC had 3 divisions: upper, middle, lower. The 2 or 3 worst teams in upper would be relegated to middle while the 2 or 3 best teams in middle would be promoted to upper. The criteria to define “best” and “worst” could be a combination of W/L and TV revenue generated; other criteria could be added by conference supermajority vote. This would be a lot more flexible than the current situation. You could entertain the idea of regional divisions whose teams could be promoted to a “national” division. Teams in higher divisions get a higher percentage of TV revenue. Would certainly be a different kind of excitement at the end of the season. Bowl game participants might be teams “on the bubble”, subject to either promotion or relegation. Thoughts?

Cancelled sling and signed up for Hulu. At least with streaming we have choices.in the old cable tv days, we woulda been left high and dry when this crap happened.
