not sure how I missed this reality.  

ACC has a former NFL great coaching a squad this year.

The NCAA blew it.  I wouldn't be surprised if the SEC and Big Ten drop the NCAA and form a super league:

In an unreported and little-known fact, SEC presidents in March quietly authorized their commissioner, Sankey, to split from the NCAA if he deems that the right move.

That would at least allow the ACC and others to get back to being universities first.

the top of college football is losing sight of what actually made college football king IMO.   If they want to break off and be the NFL's highly paid (for now) development league.....it will eventually be treated as such by the masses.

Yeah, it's going to be interesting to see where this ultimately goes. They're trying hard to kill the golden goose. With the playoffs expanding to 12 teams and purely going with the highest seeded teams you know the SEC is going to throw a bitch for every time they don't make up at least half the teams on the field. Some of those crazy ass homers honestly think it should just be all SEC every year. No one else belongs. It's mainly the fans of lower tier SEC schools who think this way. It's just their attempt to rise the coattails of the better teams and act like they belong instead of realizing that they're just schedule cannon fodder.

The latest pitch I’ve heard about is the SEC and the B10 requesting (requiring) 4 auto qualifiers each when they move to a 16 team playoff format…crazy if they get what they want
