Proverbial “No Win Situation” for The Tigers tomorrow.
Nov 30, 2018, 10:51 PM
|
|
If we win big ... so what ... that's what everyone totally expects.
If we win close ... uh oh ... another win that feels like a loss.
If we LOSE ... well ... well ###, there comes that dreaded “C” word again.
I actually hate the ACC Championship game. It never particularly helps us and has the potential to ruin us.
Would rather see conference championship games done away with and the extra week hsed to,expand the CFP to 8 teams.

weight playing a 10-1 , 9-2 or even 8-3 team for that matter is a whole lot better than 7-5 and unranked ..this is exactly why i am rooting for louisville and g tech to make some decent hires..the conference as a whole needs a shot of life injected into it

Only thing is one of those schools (UL) is in the Atlantic. Coastal needs more than one upgrade.
A “U” part III, and annual meeting and rivalry with us (us winning of course) would boost the profile immensely.

Only a few years ago we were talking about how good the coastal was going to be with their new hires. Fedora, Fuentes,richt, mendenhall.

Frank Howard: we only need one more point than our opponents for a win.
I'll take the point any way it comes and be happy for it. A win is a win is a win!

Same here. That is why I never bet on us to cover a spread. I don't want to be upset if we win by 1. A win is a win and I will be happy no matter how it comes. Ofcourse there will be things we are disappointed in during the game and will see things we could have done better but in a college football game there will be highs and lows.

If we win, we go to the playoffs. That's a pretty big deal.

My point is that if we do away with all conference games it would make it easier to expand to 8 teams and it would avoid meaningless match-ups like the one in Charlotte tomorrow night.

.... especially when you look at Notre Dame who probably gonna get in without even having to play a conference championship game which kind of irritates me. But if the coastal had a decent competitor and the scenario was the winner would get a playoff berth then it would in itself be like a playoff game.

If we win we win the ACC Championship and go to the 4 team playoff. That will be awesome. If we lose we may not go to the playoff and we're not the champs. There is a huge win and lose scenario.

Any time we are on prime time displaying the talent, hard work and committment of our student athletes and the expertise of one of the top coaching staffs in college football is a win.
A win for our University, Athletic Program, Students, Alumni, and the State of South Carolina.

The "feels like a loss" phenomenon only applies to the coots and possibly sub-FBS opponents.

I might feel different about this if we were 9-3 and trying to get to a New Year’s 6 game, or if we had lost a game and needed a conference title on our resume to help make our case for the playoffs.
It does nothing for us THIS year, except maybe add to the trophy case, but maybe not true every year.
Still, I would like to see the ACC crown a championship without this game, and make way for quarterfinal round. Of the Power 5, there is really only one compelling championship game, and that is in the SEC. The others all have a heavy favorite and an underdog with no chance of making the CFP. Except PAC-12, where neither team has a chance.

It was not long ago that I was thrilled to even make the ACC champ game. I will be more than happy to win another trophy and have another conference championship flag flying. Winning 4 ACC titles in a row is deff a win situation.
