Good for them. EVERYONE thinks UM should be in it and agrees that Ward Manuel (Michigan) has displayed his bias and turned the whole thing into a complete joke. Just LOVE the piling on from all angles for this pathetic so-called “committee”. They deserve all the criticism.

Where was this energy a month ago?

Too Little, Too Late...

The title of the book about the history of the ACC.
 
FYI, I do get nine and three is the only power five team in the last decade that’s not in the top 25
 
The 5 seed is either going to be either Notre Dame or Oregon. Miami vs either one of them would've been great for media storylines. Even they're tired of the "Alabama bias" headline.

There's not much love for Alabama getting in over Miami. Its coming from all directions and networks. From Pat Forde to Stephen A. I knew something was up when Booger McFarland called the committee out.

"Warde Manuel just making it up as he goes”. ACC crew now ripping him a new one.

I was listening to SVP and Stanford Steve yesterday and they said the exact same thing I was thinking when I watched. When they started rolling from 25 and I didn’t see Duke or Louisville, I knew it was over before they even got anywhere close to the Top 12.

That’s how you create this made up “record vs Top 25” bull****. Why is Missouri in the top 25 but Duke is not? There is one reason: Mizzou was ranked to begin the season. That’s literally it. If you didn’t rank Mizzou and did rank Duke, not one person would even notice. But they didn’t, for the sole reason of being able to say the SEC teams beat a ranked team.

Mizzou lost by 31 to A&M, they were in a dogfight against BC, against Vandy, lost by 34 to Bama (without their QB) close wins everywhere, etc. Just made up bull**** to support the narrative.

It's great that everyone is calling them out but the problem is they just don't care. They knew what they were doing at the time and surely understood the optics.

When they said idle teams were set and it wouldn't matter whether teams we beat ended up in next week's top 25, it just further emphasized how it was all the committee whim and certain specific comparisons were simply to try to justify it to the public.

They didn't talk about the closest thing we had to a head to head comparison - USF - we beat them by more on the road than Bama did at home. None of it matters.

Mizzou losing a combined 75-10 against A&M and Bama is ridiculous for a “top 25” team. Say will you will about Duke but their 3 losses were to us by 22, SMU by 1, and GT by 10. You line them up against Mizzou and I’m betting on the fighting Manny’s. That team ******* sucks. Louisville would kick their teeth in.
 
It’s nice to see the hostility towards these buffoons who truly think we’re too stupid to recognize what’s going on. That said, unless this sudden pressure does anything Miami is still looking at the Pop Tart or Taxslayer bowls. Without support from the ACC leadership, there’s not much we can do but continue to win and force their hands.
 
all the conversation and media eyes on it is great but its too late. There is no chance Miami is getting in no matter what, they wont alienate their puppet masters at ESPN and SEC- the ESPN talking heads are just doing the politics thing for their step kid ACC
