Manny Diaz is going to coach in the ACC Championship Game.

If Duke wins, and they still are not ranked, does that mean another at large bid makes the playoff?

The rule states that the five highest ranked conference champions get an automatic bid. I can see a scenario where the AAC champion (North Texas or Navy) and the Sun Belt Champion (likely James Madison who will be 12-1) will both be ranked higher than Dook.

That would mean no ACC teams in the playoff.

I think more will come of this down the road. The ACC knows this isn't a good look, especially if Duke beats UVA, they would be left out of the CFP. Not only will alot of schools realize how terrible this is set up, but schools are going to make a stronger case to be released from their obligations to the league. Just some midnight thoughts, but what do I know.

The ACC leadership knows they are already on borrowed time as a conference.

The desirable schools will eventually defect to the SEC or Big 10, and the remaining schools will merge with the Big 12.

Pathetic.

Befitting of this Pathetic Conference. Can’t spell ACC without Rètarded.

 

[JackOAT]

Don’t blame the ACC……blame Mario for losing to SMC

There is nothing else but this

 

[Brains]

Does duke winning the acc just give the spot to another G5?

Yep. ACC will phone this one in for Virginia. I don't bet on sports, but if I did, I'd bet this one.

This fkn conference deserves a 5 loss champion

I hope dook wins and acc gets ZERO teams in
Those ******* tobacco turds deserve it

You've got to be incompetent at creating tie breaker rules when something like this is the result. Why not just go to highest ranked teams at this point.

The American and the Mountain West were smart enough to go by CFP rankings when you can’t use H2H. But not the ACC.

ACC - it just means less.

 

[TexasCane90]

ACC wants to try and push its just as relevant as the SEC and Big Ten and then this happens lol

SEC championship was decided by the same tiebreaker.

 

[Fawk_U Haters]

Very telling that people are more mad at the conference or Duke than our HC whose style lost us two games.

 

[NC_Canes_11]

SEC championship was decided by the same tiebreaker.

Their top 4 teams are all in the top 10. They will never have an 8-4 team who lost to UCONN in the mix.

7-5

7-5

Theoretically they could have if UGA/TAMU/BAMA/OLE MISS lost all their non conference games, but the point is they had the same issue as the ACC.. a logjam of teams with the same conference record and they decided it the same way.

If only Jim Phillips had balls he would wake up tomorrow and say Miami is in the game over Duke. A 7-5 team has no claim to play for the title of this league

Love it
Hope it happens!!!!

ACC does itself no favors
