good year where we win the ACC and pat ourselves on the back. It would do wonders to win the ACC, get a CFP-4 birth and win a game. But even that won't make us a lock. If we have just one good year, people with the power to make these decisions will think they can do without us. But if it's over the course of several years and GameDay is at out joint once a year, hey! ya never know. Problem is, I don't think we are anywhere near the level to win the ACC, let alone win a national semifinal. Part of this is they meteoric rise of certain teams like Bama, OSU, Clemson etc., and the other part is that we haven't been doing what it takes to be great for about 15 years now--and yes, that goes back before Fuente. I don't think just being OK is going to cut it. The new game is that the P2 skim off the top and leave the rest to fend for themselves in an increasingly rigged game. The fact that Washington is being hung out to try should be a massive wakeup call to any program that thought they'd be good enough to get in. Like I said before, UNC is the only lock to get in. Look, Maybe 6-8 ACC teams get invited. And maybe, eventually, the P2 come for some PAC and even B12 schools. But no one is safe. ** Edited by Maroon Baboon at 7/23/2022, 7:28:06 PM
