The way the polls are shaping up, it appears they are angling

Looks like the ACC's doing their part to help be a One invite conference**
wwhokie1 • 11/11/24 07:30 PM ET
This year, so no reason why either should have more than one team **
VaTechHokiesACC • 11/08/24 02:43 AM ET
I'm just going to put a few names out there

Who can say they saw that coming, besides everyone!?!? 🤣🤣
Stech • 11/07/24 03:45 PM ET
I would love for there to be an alternative 'league'
Turk Malloy • 11/07/24 03:42 PM ET
Just not the same**
VaTechHokiesACC • 11/08/24 02:44 AM ET
That is where I hoped the discussion would go.**
Big12 guy • 11/07/24 03:46 PM ET
Angling?
Vippie1 • 11/07/24 11:11 AM ET
Does anyone know how the pay-outs work?
VT ChemE 1986 • 11/07/24 11:07 AM ET
No. The payouts will be the same for every school no
Big12 guy • 11/07/24 11:31 AM ET
That explains a lot. The P2 will be very focused on blocking other teams
VT ChemE 1986 • 11/07/24 12:10 PM ET
I actually think the rankings were pretty fair. Iowa State just lost,
reestuart • 11/07/24 09:08 AM ET
If BYU loses one, they drop below the the line
Big12 guy • 11/07/24 10:02 AM ET
It was always going to be a blue bloods invitational. That won't change,
reestuart • 11/07/24 10:16 AM ET
Blue bloods this year are clearly better
VaTechHokiesACC • 11/07/24 11:49 PM ET
Yeah, I agree. **
reestuart • 11/08/24 12:23 AM ET
Glad you finally realized it.

This! **

I agree completely …..And I would break away ASAP …..

AnotherTechW • 11/06/24 10:09 PM ET
That was always the intention
VT ChemE 1986 • 11/06/24 07:40 PM ET
Even if Miami loses in the ACCCG, the ACC will still be a 1 bid conference.
VTHokie2000 • 11/06/24 05:47 PM ET
It's my understanding that the
Big12 guy • 11/06/24 06:08 PM ET
This is a laughable take.
Baltimore_Hokie • 11/07/24 11:34 AM ET
What a pessimistic typical ACC poster take. Just
Big12 guy • 11/07/24 11:46 AM ET
Playing the game on the field? Don't make me laugh.
Baltimore_Hokie • 11/07/24 12:13 PM ET
Technically the ACC and Big XII are not guaranteed automatic bids. All the
VTHokie2000 • 11/07/24 12:39 PM ET
Are you technically correct? Yes. Will that happen in practice?
Baltimore_Hokie • 11/07/24 12:44 PM ET
Given that the ACC and Big XII are now Fredo, I do think it is possible 1
VTHokie2000 • 11/07/24 12:48 PM ET
You're right about being Fredo-
Baltimore_Hokie • 11/07/24 12:59 PM ET
A potential motive for leaving the ACC out is to create more instability in
VTHokie2000 • 11/07/24 01:07 PM ET
Of all of the opinions out there, yours is certainly one of them.
Big12 guy • 11/07/24 12:30 PM ET
I'm not denigrating your conference or its programs, buddy.
Baltimore_Hokie • 11/07/24 12:37 PM ET
That is how I am taking things, I just happen to disagree with
Big12 guy • 11/07/24 01:32 PM ET
The Big 12 (and the ACC) are NOT in a better position to compete-
Baltimore_Hokie • 11/07/24 01:50 PM ET
I don't dispute that, but the individual schools most

Now that the NFL has a stake in ESPN, you may want to keep an eye on how
VTHokie2000 • 11/07/24 02:14 PM ET
I don't know. When money is involved, it seems anything can happen, but
Big12 guy • 11/07/24 03:43 PM ET
It is different because during the BCS Era a conference could have no more
VTHokie2000 • 11/07/24 04:39 PM ET
Given that the poll is politically driven (I will let you decide the level)
VTHokie2000 • 11/06/24 06:22 PM ET
A 3-loss SEC team will always get the at-large bid over a 1-loss ACC or...
EDGEMAN • 11/07/24 04:11 AM ET
Exactly which why the ACC and its fans should probably prepare and accept
VTHokie2000 • 11/07/24 07:43 AM ET
Concur! It would take a very strange occurrence for the ACC or B12...
EDGEMAN • 11/07/24 07:49 AM ET
I disagree. The ACC and to a lesser extent, the B12 will get
Big12 guy • 11/07/24 08:47 AM ET
You sound like a kid in 1989 that thinks he's getting a Nintendo AND a Sega
Baltimore_Hokie • 11/07/24 12:26 PM ET
And you sound like that hoop guy. **
Big12 guy • 11/07/24 12:31 PM ET
The stages of grief are difficult, my friend.
Baltimore_Hokie • 11/07/24 12:46 PM ET
Humor is good my friend. Me thinks you need some. **
Big12 guy • 11/07/24 01:42 PM ET
You believe a 3 loss Big Ten or SEC team won't get in over a 1 loss Big XII
VTHokie2000 • 11/07/24 09:54 AM ET
How would I react? I would be extremely disappointed, and

Why don't you see it happening though? Given how much money is being

It's a possibility sure, but I would be surprised. **

If you follow the money and keep in mind that the CFP Poll is the deciding
VTHokie2000 • 11/07/24 10:25 AM ET
Miami, like FSU and Clemson, are still brands that
Big12 guy • 11/06/24 07:22 PM ET
And yet the CFP Committee decided last season to leave an undefeated brand
VTHokie2000 • 11/06/24 07:34 PM ET
FSU is a brand, but Texas and Alabama are bigger brands.**

My point was that UDub is not a bigger football brand than FSU. If the
