2025 College Football

Even half of the SEC being "good" is still way more than any other conference. Sticking with A&M specifically, they played the worst Auburn, Florida, Arkansas, LSU, and South Carolina teams we have seen in a long long time. And yet they still played more ranked conference opponents than Ohio State, Indiana, Texas Tech, etc...I agree that it is good or bad luck. But unless you think another P4 conferences have more "good" teams, your chances of playing those teams are much more in the SEC than in those conferences.

I agree that the goal of sports is entertainment, but the goal for most programs should be winning championships. The problem is college football isn't requiring or spreading out the responsibility of the former among teams. It's crazy to think Texas could possibly play a Top 10 OOC game to start each season while some CFP teams won't even play a single P4 team.

 

One thing I think we can all agree on is Notre Dame is not taking this well.

 

They’re taking it exactly how you would expect a sanctimonious entitled program like that would take it.

 

That would be so incredible.

Btw in case you didn’t know, bc i forgot about this, but these ****s are guaranteed a playoff spot if they finish in the top 12 starting next year. Getting rewarded for not being in a conference is completely ****ing outrageous.

 

I am definitely NOT a Notre Dame sympathizer, but I can't blame them for being ticked off at the ACC's politicking for Miami at their expense.

That said, they are probably just blowing a bunch of hot air and won't do anything about it. I doubt they decide to join the "Big Mistake" conference any time soon.

 

Eh, they act like they're above the ACC when it comes to football. If they want a major conference to politic on their behalf, they should join one. The ACC owes their football program nothing when they aren't a full member.

 

No, you misunderstood. They felt the ACC should have been neutral between them and Miami. Instead, the ACC took sides in Miami's behalf.

 

As they should have.

 

From what I read, the ACC is not behind the programming of the ACC network, so I don’t know whose idea it was to show the Miami-Notre Dame game multiple times over the weekend.

 

Maybe so, but they ARE responsible for this tweet from last week:

 

But of course they are going to back their own football member school over ND. The conference won’t see a single dime with a ND playoff run.

 

ND crying for attention, man. Most of this thread is now about Notre Dame and they're not even in the playoff. Make it stop.
