Is the ACC finished?

[Hold My Beer]

Even the mom from The Goldbergs knows

The two ACC teams one-and-done in the CFP by a combined six touchdowns against opponents that didn't win their conferences.

Top recruiting classes for 2025 per 247 Sports: SEC, SEC, SEC, B1G, B1G, SEC, SEC, SEC, B1G, SEC, ND, B1G and then the Canes at No. 14.

Upcoming $20M to $30M — and growing — media rights and CFP rev share gap behind both the SEC and Big Ten.

Ain't no coming back from all this

 

[TriStarCane]

Yes

Clemson @ Texas was a 7 pint game in the 4th Q. Indiana, a big 10 member got dragged. Miami didn’t take care of biz..that being said, Miami just off higher caliber players alone are more c competitive than a SMU or Indiana in those matchups

Unless Ruiz wants to bankroll Miami Football for years to the tune of 25M a year , there will be no way to keep up w the usual suspects

TT got their billionaire funding their amazing portal performance…..sec and b10 gonna only get stronger and with espn sucking them off non stop you can kiss auto bids to conf champs goodbye as soon as they can.

Fowler is on his knees sucking herbie and the bucknuts right now as I watch OSU assault tenn

On another note
Still not sure how the **** OSU was awarded a home game

 

[KevinCaneFace]

I mean yes but not because of this. The SEC lower seed is currently being dragged as well. There were blowouts in the 4 team playoff and currently the only non blowout was the ACC champ

 

[Yoyo423]

Yes..it's inevitable. Anybody that plans to stay in the ACC long-term knows it's a slow death. You can't fall behind by $40-$50mil per year and expect to keep up. Clemson and FSU know this obviously. Hopefully Miami does as well.

Edited to add: finished as a P4. Before long it's just going to be P2 and then other levels of conferences. The ACC and B12 will be a step down and then everybody else. But a chance at a national championship will basically be non-existent.

I disagree. You are trying to put lipstick on a pig
Texas was cruising vast majority of game
It was 31-10
So Clemson made it “not embarrassing”

Money is not our problem and John Ruiz is not providing it. Our problem is the inferior conference we are in and the massive disadvantage it puts us in. Who is TT? Why would TN have deserved the home game?

 

[JHallCanes]

And we couldn’t even get to the championship game

It was a 7 pt game in the 4th and finished at exactly what the spread was. We knew Texas was better than the 12th seed. Still the closest game of the week

Tennessee is saving the ACC

I turned it off
Lol
I still think ACC is toast w the alignment

ESPN
They have control
And they will MAKE SURE their narrative plays out and that these blue bloods advance EVERY year

 

[westcoastcanes]

We got people just now figuring this out? It’s not the decade long losing record against the B1G and SEC, or the decade long trend of less draft picks than the top conferences?

We have been an inferior conference for a very long time. Every year we get guys making threads and posts about others being over rated. About bias. It is always cope. It always has been. When it happens next year it will be again. The only times we haven’t been cooked since Miami joined the ACC is when crab legs and sunshine brought titles.

 

[Canestomp]

People say this but I would love to know how they see it ending and being reborn. What does current ACC crop look like 10 and 20 years from now?

 

[WndyCityCane]

Isn’t Our problem bad coaching ?

Does Even a decent coach gets us to the ACC Championship game this year?

At least if we were winning it would cure things a bit.

 

[407cane]

Idk but Tennessee being in the playoffs is ****ing me off more than anyone else who got in

Lost to Arkansas, *** kicked by UGA, inept offense, barely escaped UF in OT at home, their “best win” is also a win that Vanderbilt and Oklahoma each have

They aren’t even competitive physically tonight

Yet we’re at home

******* disgrace

 

[CaneinBroward]

Did it ever start?

 

[Angry Ibis]

No, there are some big games to be played in the Pop Tart, Fenway and Duke Mayo Bowls!
