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

committee really cared that much about brands, then UDub should have been the odd team out.

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 **

Who can say they saw that coming, besides everyone!?!? 🤣🤣

I would love for there to be an alternative 'league'

Just not the same**

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. **

Glad you finally realized it.

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.

It's my understanding that the
Big12 guy • 11/06/24 06:08 PM ET
This is a laughable take.

What a pessimistic typical ACC poster take. Just

Playing the game on the field? Don't make me laugh.

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-

I don't dispute that, but the individual schools most

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...

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

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

How would I react? I would be extremely disappointed, and

If you follow the money and keep in mind that the CFP Poll is the deciding

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
