Yall keep over looking this .. so the loss did not hurt our chance to get to the ACC championship game …. BUT if we lose in that game we are now a 2 loss team and may be kept out of the playoffs !! That’s why it was important to be undefeated to give us some playoff insurance no matter what happened in the ACC championship game.

Exactly, a loss in the ACC game as a second loss will for sure keep them out. and now we can't afford to lose to Syracuse, because that may actually keep them out of the ACC championship game.

They have come out and said a conf championship game loser won’t be punished for the loss when comparing to a team that didn’t get into their championship game. We’ll obv see if that holds true, but that is what they have said.

Our problem isnt that we dropped a game along way. It’s the manner which we lost. It’s reared its head thru the season but we’ve overcome by waking up or getting lucky. The national narrative will now be the latter and that’s going to hurt when it comes to evaluation season.

This. If we manage to win the next two, and can’t beat SMU in what would be our biggest game in fifteen years or so (arguably a lot at stake in 17 v Clemson but we never stood a chance), then what’s the point of going on the road to get smashed in a playoff game?

Here’s the thing though, I don’t believe Miami gets smashed because they have “when executing” a great offense. Can the Defense give up 50, sure BUT OK Cam have it and get me 51.

Whoever Miami plays, BYU or Oregon whatever, Cam & crew are gonna have to outscore them.

The loss means almost nothing after Pitt gagged vs the least likely team to beat them on their remaining schedule.
We needed to win to outpace Pitt, we lost then they lost.
It sucked and the doomsdayers will run amok about how we suck etc…for the next two weeks, but shockingly the sun rose agin today.

And never forget two of our most hated rivals gave up 100pts between them.

It’ll mean a lot when they’re trying to stop syracuses O.

You think this D will slow down Syracuse? If not that L changed everything

Y’all are grasping for positives and excuses. Stop. This loss will keep us out of the playoffs if you don’t win the ACC. Not winning the conference and not making the playoffs is a failure with this team and this schedule.

If we can’t beat Wake, Cuse, SMU then I don’t want to see us get rag dolled on tv against a bigger team anyway

GT may have just been one of those days in college football. We will see. I think it was just all of our flaws catching up at the same time but regardless you’re right

This team has a good core of leaders and this loss and a bye week let’s see how they bounce back against a team we should walk all over. Lots of teams snowball the wrong way when they lose a game

Agree. Yesterday was a waste of a great opportunity. The goal was to reach the Acc championship undefeated...everything after that was gravy.

I mean... if we lose that game we absolutely don't deserve to be in no **** playoffs anyway lol.
 
Lol I think I might be the only one who's not one bit upset or disappointed about yesterday. The inevitable happened. We knew it would. We've been playing with fire for almost a whole month. It got to the point for me where I didn't even care about the outcome any longer, I just enjoyed watching the show.....more so the Cam and X show. I already knew because of this defense, we're not even a great 9-1 team. No one in there right mind predicted us to go undefeated in the regular season. So now we're no longer undefeated. MOST predicted us as a two loss team. And that was being grateful. We're right on track and I'm not worried 🤷🏾‍♂️

You honestly thought we would make the playoffs when the season started? Com'on man, our biggest concern was beating UF on the road.
Yesterday sucks tremendously, but the season is far ahead of where most thought it would be.

I’m saying at this point … knowing what we know and knowing where we are … if we don’t make playoffs it’s a failure!

I never viewed Pitt as a team to get in our way. Clemson won, so they're in our way right? We do have the tiebreaker lead but that game @syracuse looks more scary then before

I keep reading all these posts about getting into the Playoffs.

Do you really want to match up with the calibre of teams that reach the Playoffs?

I've been hoping against hope that Guidry figures something out with this D, but if anything they're getting worse. I don't want to see us getting dog walked on a national stage.

If we win the ACCCG I'll be elated and we'll deserve the spot in the Playoffs. I don't want to backdoor our way in if we lose that game though - I'll take a nice quiet Bowl Game and quietly shelve this season as progress, but must do better in 2025.

lol I'm with you on this one

We have to win, but at this point who wants to back in to just get embarassed?

Sunshine pumping after that hot steaming **** yesterday is annoying.

I don’t have much confidence that this team can win vs mediocre teams with this defense. What’s even more disturbing is once Cam graduates this defense looks like a 2 year project under much better coaching. Who steps up and plays Superman next season?

The Soviet Union had a more efficient “5 year plan” than Cristobal does.
