only if Clemson and FSU get 10 wins or more. One of those 2 will likely

win the ACC, and they have the most "brand". Louisville may be a good team next year but unless they win the conference they won't get in because most folks don't care to see them. It will be all about getting the biggest brands into the playoff and the most B1G and SEC teams in. We all know it's not about getting the best teams in.

Next year, the ACC is positioned to get 3 invites to the playoffs. FSU

I will pay money just to see the first Stanford/Hoo fan interactions

ACC will be a one-bid league.
Maroon Baboon • 01/26/24 11:22 PM ET
all 11-win P level schools will qualify and most of the 10-2's

VPI_1998 • 01/27/24 04:52 AM ET
Perhaps. But there is also an "SEC" and a "B1G" brand to protect.

It is this scenario i am talking about. I wasn't trying to

Also, the committee only differed from AP on one spot and mirrored coaches
Concord Dan • 01/26/24 06:19 PM ET
Looking at next year, I still thin a two loss FSU, Miami, or Clemson
Big12 guy • 01/26/24 07:48 PM ET
If VT isn't one.of them, the system is RIGGED!!!!!!**

Only way Miami makes the playoffs is if Jim Larranaga coaches football**

they need to figure out how to lose fewer than 5 games.**

Yeah, that's the important fact **

I had to go back to 2014 to find a year in which the ACC had two teams…
lawhokie • 01/25/24 09:47 PM ET
I would be shocked if the ACC gets 3.
VTCALS72 • 01/25/24 07:55 PM ET
Zero chance whatsoever. Only an outside chance at 2.**
reestuart • 01/26/24 11:52 AM ET
We won't.**
EDGEMAN • 01/26/24 06:29 AM ET
Make that a snowball's chance in heck we get three, and...
EDGEMAN • 01/26/24 08:48 AM ET
The ACC might get 1 at-large bid, but I doubt it gets 2 at-large bids.

The six highest-ranked remaining teams will fill out the rest of the 12-tea

Who's being naive, Kay?**

Depends
VaTechHokiesACC • 01/26/24 03:11 AM ET
I agree that circumstances can vary from year to year. However, remember
VTHokie2000 • 01/26/24 10:11 AM ET
Agreed. I think only 1 team outside B10/SEC/ND will get an at large

You could be right - and if that is the way this plays out, then all
Big12 guy • 01/25/24 06:50 PM ET
Don't disagree with much of that, but
RTFC • 01/26/24 10:46 AM ET
I have disagreed with you a lot

LOL. I remember listening on the am and every time there was a big play
IB4TECH • 01/26/24 05:48 PM ET
What is unclear right now is how much resources the networks are interested
VTHokie2000 • 01/25/24 07:26 PM ET
You have so many good point in that post, that it's difficult to pick
Big12 guy • 01/25/24 07:52 PM ET
I agree that the leftovers could have their own party and be just as happy.

Minor clarification, ESPN didn't start a gambling site.

No, I didn't know Penn Gambling had a website and that is what is being
VTHokie2000 • 01/26/24 02:36 PM ET
ESPN was definitely vested (prior to Penn Gaming)
