If that happens then the ACC and B12 are forced to collaborate

Literally the only way to survive with decent media money and playoff relevance is to mirror the P2 monopoly. If we fill the schedule void with more G5 schools then it just pushes us farther away from having relevant teams and media value. Northwestern vs Vanderbilt as an OOC game is now more valuable than ACC or B12 games. We (non-P2 schools) have lost. The only path forward now is to work together to try and maximize what is left for value.

SEC headed 2 *9 Conf games & 1 B1G game, are SEC/B1G vs ACC/B12 games gone?

FSU and Clemson are unlikely to happen. I think GT is still possible.

SEC and B1G are gonna want all the at-large bids (save Notre Dame).

especially if Bama or UGA have a "down" year as defined by their fans**

That would make sense, but all we hear about is the ACC Big East merger, I

The problem is the presidents. I think they will be a roadblock

The Commissioner has to lead them, persuade them, that’s his job & if he

Except it is up to the college presidents and/or ADs to decide how much

His job is to persuade and lead, if he can't get it done, find someone else**
Stech • 05/09/25 04:03 PM ET
I understand. All I am saying is that the college presidents will be doing
VTHokie2000 • 05/09/25 04:06 PM ET
The President’s do own some of this, no doubt, they need to wake up too.**

I agree. I am just not sure they will be willing to give up their cake and

What ACC schools would get the best B12 match ups? I think the answer

Probably so, but there could be some other good ones too. Let Calford play
