Yes, as much as I like WVU, I think it makes more $ for the ACC if we pick off OK State and Baylor. Good for the ACCN, good for an occasional extra playoff slot, both have very good home attendance, lots of fans, etc. It also nips the B12 recovery in the bud. They might just get picked apart further by the PAC at that point, leaving us as the clear #3. I could see Houston instead of Baylor. I just don't like their lack of attendance. If that picks up this year with them joining the B12, then maybe they are a better choice over Baylor. We have time to wait through at least the season to figure that out.

Do you really think BIG will take such a geographic outlier like Miami? -- HokieAl Sep 08, 2022 at 01:23 PM ET
