Should ACC and Clemson hope ACC Champ. game to be cancelled?
Dec 7, 2020, 1:21 PM

Hear me out on this....
If ACC Championship game is cancelled, then both ND and Clemson are guaranteed to be in the playoffs and will probably play each other in the Semifinals. This would guarantee 2 ACC teams in the playoffs as well. If we play the game and ND wins, then ND is in the playoffs and Clemson is out. If Clemson wins, there is a slight chance that ND would still get in, but they might not.
I don't want the game cancelled. I am just saying it would actually be in the ACC and Clemson's best interest if this game was cancelled for Covid reasons.....

If Florida beats Bama, OSU plays 7 games and ND is undefeated then Clemson is going to be left out.
The ACC absolutely wants to play the game because a Clemson win is the only way to have a chance to get 2 teams in the playoff.
There is no scenario in the ACC title game that leaves the ACC with 0 teams in the playoff.
No logical ACC person would want to cancel the game because they think it helps the conference.

If #1 Tide loses a close one in SECCG they most certainly...
Dec 7, 2020, 7:17 PM

...would not fall out of the Top 4. If #2 Domers lose a real tight one in the ACCCG, they could make it as a #4. I also remember a recent Tide team that didn't even play a CCG and backed into the playoff and won it. It would be a mess for the committee, but the precedent is there.

I'll take that bet...Nobody losing in a CCG is getting in...
Dec 7, 2020, 9:51 PM

Bama got in because their one loss came in the regular season, there is NO precedent for a team to lose their CCG and back in and they aren't about to set one because that would just pencil in the SEC division winners as 50% of the field in almost every year and they know that, thus, it won't happen.

I'd rather earn a spot in the CFP rather than have it handed to me like a participation trophy.

Clemson has to earn it because Clemson doesn’t belong. Ohio State gets in because they deserve it, naturally. And will be nice and rested without game injuries. Just like Bama deserved to get in without even winning their division. Nice and rested. And won it all.

I don't want to see ND a third time in the same year. I would rather play a Texas A & M or a Florida.

Nope: See 2014. TCU (and Baylor) didn't play in 2014, got leap-frogged by OSU. Went from 3rd to 5th.
Play the game.
One, in no rational world should ND get the ACC championship and two, it belongs to us.
Play and earn championships

Didn’t the Big XII try that and TCU dropped from #3 to #6?
Dec 7, 2020, 2:24 PM

After winning their last game 55-3.
And Baylor didn’t make it either.
And we don’t want those ND a-holes claiming a conference championship for Pete’s sake.

H ell NO ! I want to beat ND and win the ACC. If we can’t beat ND don’t deserve to be in the CFP anyway. It would absolutely suck in this game was called off.

Just my opinion, but we need Clemson to play and beat Notre Dame ,and Florida to beat Bama. Two ACC teams vs 2 SEC teams. I hate rematches ,but let Clemson play Notre Dame a third time, and Florida square off against Bama a 2nd time, and that way you have the ACC vs the SEC for the National Championship.

I hope we trounce ND so badly that they fall out of the top 4 and have to either join the ACC or pound sand.
Don’t just beat ND ... embarrass them!!

doubt that Notre Dame has had Swofford in their pocket this entire season. "Hey, not only will I let you in for a year, knowing you ain't gonna even consider joining, but if the opportunity arises, I will gift wrap the Conference Championship for you."

Interesting. Some good comments, as well. Personally, I do not trust the CFP Committee, given the possible scenarios and possibilities. But while there is the potential we lose to ND and not make the CFP (which, if we lose, we probably don’t deserve to be in the CFP); still, as Dabo says: “Our fate is in OUR hands, and we just need to win, snd we’re in.”
So let’s beat ND in Charlotte and let everybody worry about whether they get in or not!
GO TIGERS!!!!

Yes - but only if we have the mentality of pathetic losers.

"guarantee" ... how do come up with that? They are at the mercy of the committee... they have no guarantee of anything.

Terrier,
It is an interesting thought.
