I’m curious as to why you say this?  You know the ACC won the head to head last year…right?  7-5.  You think that because you’ve been feed that for years.  I wouldn’t be surprised if the ACC wins head to head again this year.  Not to mention, the SEC hasn’t been the top conference in bowl games for a few years now, they are not what we’ve all been told.  It’s easy to win a bunch of nattys when fat guys smoking cigars in a room, paid for by the SEC committee puts you in the championship game ever year.  Just look at last year, and Alabama was 1 and done…but money talks

And what were those matchups? I know I for one put a lot of weight into games like UNC vs. Minnesota in week one to gauge overall conference strength.

Sure it is. But you aren’t a great team if you are having to pull away from ACC teams late in the 4th essentially every single week.   

Again, neutral field, they aren’t really even going to be favored over both SMU and Clemson IMO.   So what are you then?  

Miami might win the ACC. If you do, it’s the power of the QB spot. You got the best QB in likely the nation.  So congrats.   

Good teams win, great teams cover the spread. We've covered the spread A LOT this year.

Fun little predictor. You can pick every game for the rest of the season. Right now my 12 are:

1. Ohio St. (bye)

2. Miami (bye)

3. Georgia (bye)

4. Arizona St. (bye)

5. Oregon VS 12. BYU

6. Boise St. VS 11. SMU

7. Notre Dame VS 10. Texas

8. Penn St. VS 9. Indiana

 

That gives me:

Oregon/OSU for the third time this year (Oregon)

Miami lucking out once again VS Indiana

SMU playing cinderella VS ASU

Texas/Georgia one more time (Texas)

 

That gives me:

SMU/Miami again (Miami)

Oregon/Texas (Oregon)

 

Oregon then trashes Miami in the finals.

I mean that’s not an argument I go with…

But in ACC play, both Clemson and SMU covered the spread more than Miami. 

Miami didn’t cover in 3 games.

I’m not sure I’ll have to look that up but honestly, to me, it does t matter.  You have to play the games on the field and on your schedule.  Doesn’t matter if it’s week one or week 12, a conference that is light years behind another conference shouldn’t be in the conversation of any wins against them, again week one or week 12

They would be punishing them for losing to GT.  🙂

That’s already baked in to a degree with their poll that has been out.  Miami will be #6 going into that weekend. 

the college football gods already helped prop Miami up and got them through VT, Cal.   CFP Committee isn’t bumping Cam Ward out of the playoffs once they put them up at 6.   The teams don’t exist to leapfrog them out at that point.  

it would take a Cam Ward injury to knock Miami out.  It he got hurt and they lost…Miami should be knocked out like a FSU IMO

I'm sure he was given the opportunity to retire at the end of the season and he was resisting to the point that it became clear he was going to have to be forced out. The players responded to Mack saying he was coming back this past weekend. Let's see how they respond to Mack being gone this coming weekend.

Sucks it had to go like this. If Mack had come back and landed Howell and Maye and handed the reins off to a new coach with the ship righted things would be so different. Instead he hung on too long and has tanked is again. We pretty much have no incoming recruiting class. The arrow is pointing straight down again. Instead of handing off a program in the rise now we're having to pitch another rebuild project.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By strato · Posted

      I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
