The tie breaker is points scored? That's NUTS Duke gets in over Miami, or Tech, or SMU, or Pitt.

LMAO. WTF are you talking about? That's not any of the tie breaking criteria.

Just now, Dilla said:

Reporters are already talking about the committee saying 'fug the rules' and putting Miami in if Duke wins.

 

I mean, honestly, I would not be surprised if they consider it.

That would cause a revolt. 

It's just reverting back to the original BCS or newspaper rankings.

Also, blame the ACC all you want but they didn't cause Miami, GT and SMU to crap their pants.

What a total disaster for the ACC lol.  Duke vs Virginia.  Brutal.

It's only an actual disaster if Duke wins. North Texas or Tulane aren't gonna jump UVa in the rankings.

Two of their last three plays have resulted in offensive flags.

Redshirt freshman kicker, though? IDK....not what I would have done.

Just now, LinvilleGorge said:

They get back in range and the refs throw a flag on a blatant chop block but they get a call from the ACC league office and pick it up. The only explanation for picking up that flag. It was very obviously a chop block. They're gonna have a shot at a 51 yarder. Hope they miss it simply because they shouldn't have a chance to attempt it.

I didn't think it was actually a chop block. He went down because he tripped.

Honestly, why not try to get this MFer like 5-6 more yards?

Those announcers were high. They didn't realize their camera view wasn't straight down the goal line. The guy was in.

Announcers never understand parallax error. Like, ever.

Man, this SMU/Cal game is nuts.

I've been watching since half. He doesn't look like a terrible prospect. Decent athlete, marginal size, quick release, good short to mid accuracy, arm looks NFL average.

Oh... he's being talked about as a high first round pick? LOL! GTFOH... this is Kirk Cousins. Mid-round developmental pick who will probably be a backup? Sure, why not? First round? I'd rather just throw a dart at the draft board.

Bro, I have seen mocks with him anywhere between 12 to 1.

I don't get it. He is a day 2 pick to me.

SMU choking away an ACC title shot is extremely funny.

Is anyone sold on this Ty Simpson kid? He seems less impressive than even the normal Alabama QB's.

The entire Rams team gets food poisoning and literally shits their pants during the game

LOL @ FSU

Remember all that chirping from 2023 and the lawsuits, boys?

It would be better to say the result is mediocre.  We’re a .500 team which is a huge improvement.

Well the overall results have been substantially below mediocre. However we have definitely improved this season.

He has the rest of the season to show what he has.

Weather makes it sloppy, couple ball bounces go our way, Canales leans on the run, Bryce is hidden, rams have bad luck with injuries 

same as packers 

Yeah, weather could favor us.

There is - Dalton is washed and is stealing a pay cheque.

Bring me White.

You literally can't go into tank mode in a playoff hunt as a head coach. If that's the decision after we are mathematically eliminated, fine. 

Not sure what it would prove other than it can actually potentially get worse.

Not only Bryce...

The "all star" coaching staff approach was pushed on Reich because Tepper saw the initial success Brian Daboll was having. That's how we ended up with Thomas Brown (among others) rather than the staff Reich would hav chosen himself.

When it comes to football, Tepper is one of those guys who sees someone else having success and says "hey, let's copy that" rather than getting people who have their own ideas. Not just unoriginal, but also stupid

As to Bryce, Fitterer admitted he'd locked in on Bryce the year before and wasn't budging. Pretty much everyone believes Reich wanted Stroud, but why would you expect him to get his choice of quarterback when he didn't even get his choice of assistant coaches?

Add in that besides Tepper using assistants as basically corporate spies, Fitterer threw Reich under the bus when Bryce wasn't an overnight sensation.

Basically, Reich never had a shot.

Now Fitterer is gone, the all star staff is mostly gone, the Giants are a sh-t show and Reich is experiencing a career resurrection at Stanford.

And is? Well, we're still here waiting for miracles

IDK that I would call 4-7 a career resurrection.....

Speaking of guys that need to return to school, John Mateer. He has really nuked his stock during SEC play.

Eh Fields still makes bigger plays with his legs etc... I don't really care why the guy sucks, what he can't put together, etc. fields is a huge disappointment, yeah, but I don't want him on this team so that part doesn't really bother me.

Fields doesn't make enough plays with his legs to accomplish anything significant and he is actually a worse QB at seeing the field than even Bryce.

This is why I say that:

Fields: 153.2 Yds/GM Passing + 49.0 Yds/Gm Rushing = 202.2 Yds/GM Total

1.27 TD's/GM

Career winning %: 0.302

Young: 180.8 Yds/GM Passing + 14.9 Yds/GM Rushing = 195.7 Yds/GM Total

1.17 TD's/GM

Career winning %: 0.308

So if you basically want different Bryce Young, with all the same frustrations and results but with the added bonus of being insanely physically gifted with zero excuses for failing, Fields is your guy.

Yep, Pavia is basically the SEC's Haynes King. Damn good college QBs but not sure either will ever make an NFL roster. 

Pavia has something somewhat near NFL average arm strength but Haynes King has a very, very, VERY subpar arm for an NFL guy.

He would be best served finding another position to play in the NFL.

Tenn. vs. Vandy is a fun game so far.

I do think these are two great COLLEGE QB's that aren't going to translate to the NFL.

Just now, LinvilleGorge said:

It's crazy that Brandon LaFell is still our 6th leading all-time WR. Once you get past #3 on that list (DJ Moore) it really is just a pathetically sad thing to look at.

The list of 1st and 2nd round bust WR's is far, far longer than our elite WR's.

I hope we finally break that streak with TMac. The bones are there....but they were with Benjamin too. Fingers crossed.

Heck, Sellars was turning down reportedly 8 million dollar checks last season.  He better go take a good one this year at a better school 

If he was a really finished product, I would understand not wanting to go elsewhere. I respect the hell out of the loyalty but if you want to be as prepared as possible for the NFL and especially have designs on the 2027 NFL Draft, I would find a better development spot in free agency this offseason.

All those receivers that Cam was "holding back" accomplished a whole lot of jack poo without him too. KB blamed Cam for his failures and there were people who legit thought Funchess was gonna blossom with a "real QB". The only guy who played decently without him was Ginn with HOFer Brees throwing to him.

And even Ginn arguably had his best season with Cam.

Even his per game averages are the highest in Carolina for his entire career.

We rarely had WR's play better without Cam. LaFell was the only one I can think of but a lot of that was him have a bigger offensive role in NE and Cincy.
