Nope. You're telling lies!!! When FSU played LSU 2 years ago, I said it would be better for the ACC and Miami if FSU won.
I know that's hard for you to understand. I knew this program when the winner of thr FSU-Miami game was playing for a national championship.
I drank the kool-aid that we were going to be a good team 2 years ago. Therefore, when we played FSU, it would actually mean something if both teams are ranked.
At the time, I was certain our team was better than theirs. If we were both ranked and we beat them, it would elevate us.
You're trying to pass that BS off on me because we haven't held up our end of the bargain since we joined the ACC. Two years ago, we sucked and they were good. I thought we would be good. Since we were not and it stung, people needed to pass that anger off on me. I just laughed at that BS!!! I'm a gladiator. I want to battle against your best not your worst.
When Miami joined the ACC, we were supposed be playing FSU in the title game year in and year out. Let's say 2 years ago, Miami went 11-1 with a loss to FSU in the regular season and faced them again in the ACC title game. Would you want to face a FSU team in the title game with them having 0 , 1, or 2+ losses? The better their record, it increases probability that Miami goes to the CFP with an ACC championship win. Beating a 2 or 3 loss team does nothing to help your chances to get into the 4 team playoff.
That's the framework from which I operate. That's how it used to be. I don't need my opponent to be crappy in order for me to be good. I'm already good so bring your best. That's how I roll. That's how old school Canes rolled.
