Bevacqua 🤡. Says "permanent damage" done by ACC to ND relationship.
ND wasn't concerned about the relationship when ND was working behind the ACC's back and interests when they were working with the SEC to expand the playoff.
And they are also acting shocked and misled by the previous polls. Where were they when TCU was getting far more screwed when it was dropped in the last poll after winning by 50 over ISU?
If they have a beef, it's with the SEC and ESPN. So why the projection on the ACC?
The ACC must protect Miami, who is a threat to leave the ACC and is a permanent member.
The ACC allowed ND to play in the ACC during the Covid year and they acquiesced to them in taking Stanford and Cal. They have gone above and beyond to accommodate the Irish.
I have had no problem with ND up to now, but this is brutal on their part. The whining is hard to take.

If they want to leave, they can leave. They know the steps to do so. So does Florida State. The statement by Jim Phillips is good, and their really isn't much else to say. That Committee was hellbent on putting Alabama in there, and they did so at Notre Dame's expense. The Committee did mislead everyone for a month. The ND AD is correct on that. As I've said for a decade, I want to get away from Committees.

"Now We're Letting Committees Screw Up College Football". That among other good stuff about anytime anywhere. He seems excited to play in the Gator Bowl. I look forward to it.

There’s no obligation to lobby for a school for a slot in the CFP if that school is not a conference member in football.

They were a 10-2 SEC team with one of the best wins in the country (at #3 Georgia), and the committee wasn't going to punish them for having to play in the SECCG

championship game. Maybe other ACC schools besides SMU will have the guts to schedule them.

...BYU literally canceled a series against Miami for 2026 and 2028.

I don't recall that, but maybe I'm forgetting something. Vanderbilt cancelled on us nine months before our game. I can't think of any series we cancelled. We did move our return game at BYU back to 2031; not sure if that was our request or theirs.

...they are an ACC member. It's their job.
What isn't their job is supporting ND, or any B12, SEC, B1X or G5 team make it into the playoff ahead of an ACC team.
The ND AD is coming off as a complete jack-off.

Let's say ND goes 8-4 next year; do they turn down a bowl bid?
It's sorta academic because the bowls are ultimately done-zo, but not right away.
