Don't forget 13-0 FSU. They very much didn't deserve a playoff bid and I am not 100% sure a 12-1 ACC team would either.

Lots of variables between then and now but you do have to remember the ACC is a mid-tier G5 conference. You have to be pretty close to being perfect.

13-0 FSU missed out on a four team playoff because their QB got hurt. These talking points no longer work with a 12 team field even those the SEC and ACC act like their mid-level teams would dominate other conferences. The only difference in those conferences is the top 3 maybe 4 teams. The rest of them would also be also rans in the other conferences.

I am just telling you, don't be surprised to see a 12-1, non-conference champion ACC team lose out to a bunch of 2 and 3 loss Big Ten and SEC teams. Not saying it's right but college football is fixed when it comes to this type of poo. More so than the NBA Draft Lottery.

FSU can‘t be 13-0 if GT are the 12-1 ACC champs.   They also are auto in as the ACC champs. 

but let’s say they lose in the ACC title game to get to 12-1…..they are still 100% are in the CFP.   Pending King is healthy. They would be an undefeated top 3 team going into the conference championship knocking down UGA and the committee doesn’t hammer you for the conference championship L

But again, GT would be sitting as a top 3 team if they went into the ACC title game undefeated….and then lost.   There would zero way the committee could knock them far with their only L being a title loss, with the UGA win with a healthy QB.  

Committee already has been clear they don’t want the conference titles to negatively impact teams (because that hurts the SEC absent BIG10 teams)

I’m also ONLY arguing for GT and their setup. Not some hypothetical ACC team in another season.

If they beat UGa, that would definitely be a big boost. I did forget about that.

My bad lol, I did.  Thought you were inventing a hypothetical team into the mix.  LG addressed that FSU team.  Injury kept them out.

Injury to King would be massively more impactful than a loss for the committee.  Commiteee would drop them massively if King went down in the ACC title game

Now that Clemson is total asscheeks….that GT/UGA game is one I got circled to watch.  It can’t top last years but I’ll be pulling for Tech from here on out

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      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.

      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.
