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.

      Moton Meets the Press

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
