ACC changes to its championship game?

[90scane]

If you do the 4 team playoff format then you would have to leave the final game of the season undecided until the final standings are locked in the week prior. Seems like a scheduling nightmare.

Sounds like they would move to an 11 game schedule with the top 4 getting flexed into a playoff. This wouldn’t work as the other teams that would have had games are left with no game or revenue.

Maybe they tell schools to schedule FCS games in week 12?

Or better yet - make it Tampa. Not a dome stadium like the other P4 conference title games, but you’d have great weather, a nice facility, and did I mention not freezing ur sack off sitting in a freezing cold BOA stadium.

The other member schools would cry foul if we “hosted” the conference title game at our home stadium - if in fact we made the ACCCG.

Why is Tampa better than Miami? There are no Tampa based ACC teams.

This is the most retarded thing ever imagined so it’s perfect for the ACC

If they did this I would endorse a move to any conference that isnt the ACC

You haven’t already?

You haven’t already?

Until this most recent buffoonery I was of the mindset that the ACC was equal to or slightly above the big12 and there was no point in making a lateral move to that conf. But then we have Jim Phillips

what's the point of playing the season if they do a playoff to get into the championship game?

 

[caneingville]

SEC is never, ever leaving Atlanta, and Sankey would laugh his *** off and tell Phillips to go **** himself if the ACC wanted them to move. It’s not happening.

The ACC Championship isn’t selling out Mercedes-Benz anyway.

 

[SCarolina Ibis]

Nope! Charlotte is 1hr 15 mins from me so leave it there

Its almost exactly that for me too. Where you at?

Ngl though, I was so cold at the 2017 championship game I swore I'd never go to a Dec game in Charlotte again. It was freezing *** cold again this year. I woulda been miserable out there if we had made it.

 

[Kn[]_[]ckles3o5]

They are renovating that stadium in Jacksonville and presumably it should be bad ***. I say that’s the move assuming the ACC still exists by the time it is done being renovated.

Ask the nfl

 

[canesstevealum08]

We have a school in Texas

I was talking about Texas and Indianapolis both in the big 10 and big 12.

 

[UMercury21]

Ask the nfl

the nfl doesn't play every team in a conference. just a region.

Move the ACC to Friday night in Atlanta and SEC to Saturday night.

They did something similar for 2006 Sugar Bowl bc of Katrina. It was in Atlanta.

 

[Shogungts]

not sure playing more games is the answer...
Playing more games means more chances for loses and moving all teams down for all bowls, not just the playoffs.

Yeah - the proposal where the 1st place team team doesn't play in the ACC title game seems odd to me, but at least makes some sense if the goal is to get as many teams from the ACC into the playoff as possible It still feel like it would cheapen the champion though, like this year if SMU was given the ACC title and the winner of Clemson/Miami in the ACC Championship Game was #2...

The proposal to add a playoff to the ACC championship, while I could see if it from a "let's make more money!" point of view, I have to imagine at some point someone is going to push back on the amount of games being played. You are now talking about at the ACC Champion having played 14 before even getting to the playoffs.

Why is Tampa better than Miami? There are no Tampa based ACC teams.

Because it becomes a Miami home game. Imagine fighting to get into the game. Be the favorite and have to play a Miami team at Hard rock. Tampa is in the ACC footprint. Tampa is a better tourist visit than anywhere in NC.

ACC has to shake the feeling that it really is the NCConference.

 

[Unsider]

Why fight? Just rotate every year to an ACC city.

 

[caneingville]

They did something similar for 2006 Sugar Bowl bc of Katrina. It was in Atlanta.

Only because they had refugees living in the stadium. It was kind of an emergency situation. And the SEC played in the Sugar Bowl too.

 

[Jonnyblaze]

ACC has to stop wasting time trying to level a playing field designed to not be leveled. If I were them I would stop scheduling so many tough out of conference games. The bottom line with a 12 team, and individual 16 team playoff is if you have zero or one loss you’re most likely getting in even in the ACC.

 

[ICANEDOIT]

Of course this ghetto *** conference comes up with a ghetto *** proposal about its ghetto *** conference championship in the ghetto *** stadium in that ghetto *** city Charlotte.
