Conference Championship Saturday

[miamimike305]

This can't happen without the officials.

The Duke RB is dumb as a box of rocks for going out of bounds, but that drive cannot happen without the ACC phoning it in.

Phantom PI. No call on out of bounds. The whole thing was a joke.

There's no blaming a Duke coach for that.

I thought if you tried staying in bounds and the defender forces you out you don’t stop the clock. Unless his left foot stepped out.

You must be Fernando's cousin. I'm saying he wouldn't be the same not because he isn't good, I'm saying Miami has different personnel/coaching than Indiana.

You must be Carson Becks uncle

Manny Diaz debacle lol

 

[who]

Brought out the slip and slide too early

 

[LuCane]

I would love to hear what made up ‘analytic’ Manny relied on for some of his end of game decision making.

 

[IrishFan]

Why do you knee the ball? You have 2 Timeouts. Clock stops on 1sts.

Not enough time. There was like 18 seconds from the 12. Not worth the risk.

THATS THE WHOLE POINT!!! Cant believe we still have fans who dont understand, one of the slight of hands that the committee had was the whole barrier they created between ND and Miami. UGA losing would have kept both uga and bama away from miami and ND and made it a straight up argument that would have exposed what they wanted to avoid..

THEY DO NOT WANT TO PUT MIAMI AND ND together because they have no way to hide head 2 head.. Bama losing just muddies the waters because now they can drop them between and create a different argument..

I don't get it? Perhaps you missed my post from a few days ago:

MEGA Post in thread 'There’s Still Hope for the ACCCG/CFB Playoffs Mega Merge Thread'

Nov 30, 2025

Playoff Committee: "Because ND and Miami are ranked so far apart, we're not allowed to compare the two and consider things like a head-to-head match-up."

College football fans: "But you guys are the ones who ranked them so far apart."

Playoff Committe:

• Crimpy

I can't believe we still have fans who think the CFB Playoff Committee won't simply do whatever it wants, the opinions of others be damned. For starters, they said H2H is but one of the things that would be considered when comparing two adjacently ranked teams. It is not some automatic tie-breaker. They would never lock themselves into a particular course of action like that. They'll drop whoever they want between us and ND if they need to; whether its Bama, UGA, or someone else.

it aint over til the ghey cuban slides people!!!

 

[cway313]

This is what Virginia does to people.

 

[Handsome Squidbum]

Kinda feel bad for Diaz. He let UVA hang around and it gave the refs the window they needed

 

[SWFLSWAGG17]

Why do you knee the ball? You have 2 Timeouts. Clock stops on 1sts.

Much more chance of Duke throwing an interception than there is done making it 60 yards downfield in 18 seconds. It's the right call

 

[Virginia_Cane]

it’s so over for Duke

 

[RF-4CCane]

Plus the bad overturn call on the UVA catch originally ruled incomplete.

3 bad calls in last 5 minutes.

 

[flips]

Watch Manny kick a FG on the first play here

 

[ddann]

Manny coughing this up at the end is the most Manny thing ever.

 

[John77]

i put $5 bucks on UVA on robinhood at the end of the game purely because i knew manny would **** it up somehow lol

 

[Canestomp]

Relax, Manny has this!

 

[TheUme]

Buddy only took two steps in bounds before catching that. Didn’t establish himself. And he went out on his own

He was pushed/forced out

 

[CaneFanWNY]

Bet manny Diaz is having his Matt hasslebeck moment on the sideline “we’re gonna get the ball and we’re gonna thcore!”

*immediately loses*

 

[Bipolarcane]

I don’t give a **** who you root for. This was absolutely digusting. The amount of cheating that happened on that last drive was insane. **** this league man as a Miami fan who has been on the end of the **** this is crazy man. The ACC is cheating Duke out of a championship in plain sight and nobody can do anything about it. This is WWE at this point.
