Is this gonna spur the death of the ACC? I wouldn't be shocked. After having the first undefeated P5 conference champ left out of the playoffs, I could see FSU and Clemson really wanting to GTFO. Clemson knew during all their playoff runs that they had zero margin for error. Other teams in other conferences might be able to get in with a loss but not an ACC team. Now their undefeated conference champ gets left out. The football powers are gonna want to GTFO and I don't blame them. Adding Cal and Stanford? Yeah, that's gonna help. Maybe Cal and Stanford of a decade ago but not the current versions. All it does is further water down the conference and make for some nightmarish travel schedules. Cal and Stanford are fuged. They're gonna be at a significant disadvantage in every conference road game traveling east giving up three hours in the time change. The NFL sees a significant statistical disadvantage for west coast teams traveling east.

The committee was fuged when FSU and Bama won. No matter what they did there was gonna be a couple of teams howling and being very justified in their howling. I 100% understand why people are howling for FSU. But I'm not gonna lie, as someone with no dog in the fight just wanting to see some of the best teams in the land duke it out for the title, I had no interest in seeing FSU there. When Walker went down so did their legit chances. Did they earn the right to be there? Yeah, they did. But is the team they're currently fielding jne of the top four teams in the country? Not a chance.

Yeah, all few dozen of us left sure as hell hate Tepper. Whoever said that Tepper turned the Panthers into the Hornets was spot on.

The Commanders may have broken Howell. Even through all the struggles his last year at UNC I never saw his body language look defeated. He's defeated now.

The NFL is gonna have to realign the NFC if the NFC South woes continue. You can't have an awful team hosting a playoff game year after year.

Bieniemy very obviously came into that job simply auditioning for a HC role. In the process, I think all he's done is show everyone that him being passed over all those times wasn't a bad call. It's wild how a former RB just completely abandons the run for huge chunks of every game... with an OL that can't pass protect to save their lives. I'm not sure he'll even get another OC job. He might be a position coach after this.

Secondary and OL are places where Ron just doesn't see any value in putting significant assets. Well, we've seen years of the results now.

Howell ended up in the second worst spot IMO. Worst being the dumpster fire in Charlotte. Second to worse playing for Ron who we all know views QB protection as the QB's problem. Whatever legacy Ron Rivera and Jack Del Rio has as defensive coaches died this year.

Their D was already last in the league when they traded away their starting DEs. Their secondary is basically 2016 Panthers bad when we had two rookies and a bunch of castoffs back there.

The Commanders are legitimately one of the worst NFL defenses I've ever seen.

If FSU gets in being the team that plays them in the semifinals is gonna be a HUGE advantage for someone. They immediately became the favorites to win simply by having a glorified bye to the championship game.

With Travis they're absolutely a legit top 5 team. No doubt about it. Without him though? I think any of the other potentiak playoff teams handle them easily.

FSU, Bama, and Texas all winning was honestly the nightmare scenario for the committee. There's gonna be HOLLERIN' tomorrow night matter what they do.

12 12 is a good number. Doesn't matter how many teams are in, there's always going to be teams with a legit argument they got snubbed from the field but if you're on the bubble of a 12 team playoff you don't have a realistic shot anyway.

It's a helluva testament to Louisville's defense that they won 10 games with this offense.

Honestly, it's just an unfair advantage to the team that draws them. You'd essentially be giving someone a bye to the championship game.

Jake probably just disowned him.

I find it hard to believe that this guy is Louisville's best QB. Every time I've watched them he's looked like complete ass and their D has allowed them to compete despite it.

And the Louisville QB throws a fuging pill in the endzone. WTF...

Louisville's punter just got sacked. Like total jailbreak just had to turtle up and take a hearing because getting off a punt was impossible

This FSU QB is trying to blow it. Should've thrown back to back INTs.

FSU with a huge play out of a wildcat formation. They're up 10-3. Michigan rolling 17-0. I'm turning that one off at this point.

Purdy is honestly pretty mediocre. Helluva 7th rounder but as a starting QB he's carried by his system and his weapons. Sadly, we're gonna have to replicate that for our #1 overall pick to work out.

Jesus. Now Louisville with a wild ass trick play of their own. Both these teams know just one big play might be enough to win this game.
