I feel like FSU doesn't deserve being a "brand" based on recent past

They have had a bigger fall than VT compared to the past glory years. They had a good run with Jimbo Fisher, but look at what they have done since 2017. Over 8 seasons, 5 of them have ended in losing records. They have only played for the ACC championship one time. They have not made the playoff in the old or new format. And they finished dead last in an expanded ACC last year. FSU is the classic example of coasting on past glory and getting propped up by the media based on that in order to generate viewers for games.

ACC 4 playoff Bid Possibility?

Any such grouping should break up the Carolina mafia. Send one south

Merger of ACC & B12 4 most schools would be smart, so it won't happen, EGOS

4 should be the expectation, provided FSU, Clemson, and others stick around**

But that does not matter in "brands"

Why should VT even field a football team, then?
Baltimore_Hokie • 05/23/25 02:17 PM ET
Because there can be a lot of good football
VTCALS72 • 05/23/25 07:26 PM ET
They should play where they have an actual opportunity to compete.

yeah, 2 winning records in 7 years is pretty turrible.

This is why it was 100% stupid for the ACC to implement ratings-based-
Baltimore_Hokie • 05/22/25 04:29 PM ET
Brand bonuses might work out OK for the ACC, IMO.

The only thing it helps is the same schools making all the money-
Baltimore_Hokie • 05/23/25 11:50 AM ET
They are here now, and you see the media contract and the playoff revenue. **

If there is a third "P", no matter what you might call it,
Big12 guy • 05/22/25 01:25 PM ET
I'd rather divide both the ACC and the B12 into four regional conferences
Truthahn • 05/23/25 12:18 PM ET
I'd be OK with that, bit put it at 4 or 5 team pods
Big12 guy • 05/23/25 01:20 PM ET
Is TCU really any more deserving than SMU?**
tarheelblue • 05/22/25 04:55 PM ET
Probably not. **
