First, I will say this we need to get out of the ACC and try to head to the Big12.Yet another year of the powers that be that run the ACC playing Puppet master and trying to dictate who it's conference champion will be. All this year they have been trying to prop up Miami just for them to not make the CFP and once again after Clemson and SMU are one and done the ACC will look less than in the eyes of the national media. All of the clear no-calls in the SMU and Miami games being dictated by their bogus replay station set up in Charlotte to me just proves my point. I am also tired of the ACC fascination with Notre Dame. I say cut ties and just bring in another school who will be a full-time member and not play this one foot in, one foot out BS.When we first got the invite to join the ACC, I thought we would be seen as an asset but instead only the "Tabacco Road" schools get the push. The ACC doesn't even promote our rivalry with UK, hell they don't even promote Duke vs. UNC anymore. I know the whole landscape of college football has changed but I honestly believe we got more respect and recognition when we were in the Big East. This past summer there was rumors of a Big 12/ACC merger or agreement and nothing came of it.We have the two HC in charge of our basketball and football programs who can elevate us and I feel like the ACC will do nothing but hold us back because they don't see us a viable member of their Atlatic Coast conference.

Man how do you really feel?

If it wasn't the ACC doing this whatever conference we would be in....likely would do the same. Like you I used to think just win and it won't matter. Not so sure about that anymore. The Cards are just the red headed bird that gets no respect.

I strongly dislike what CFB and CBB have become. I am losing interest fast. Maybe its my older age setting in and truly understanding that $$$ is the root of all evil that is turning my POV. Its like, 'Well hell, what's next?"

Its just not fun anymore. I really feel for the coaches. The players are just a product of this 'Me first, everything goes Wild West environment that has been created for and by them.'

I wish they wouldn't play this game this way. It truly is toxic and unsustainable. The ACC is what it is. I would prefer the B12 or some combination of 20 ACC/B12 with 2 dividions that excludes the NC mafia. That would teach them. Alas, that is just my pipe dream. UNC/Duke/WF/NC State can just bite me. We got to know you and you are .............

Kirk also suggested that maybe just like in the NFL there should be a governing body that creates all of the schedules for the top teams in the power five conferences. It was another one of his ideas to counter all of the SEC bias that Saban was trying to interject for his reasoning for putting Alabama in over SMU.

The playoff is about as good as you can do. There will never be a perfect format or selection process. I would eliminate the bowls until Semi round. Round 1 and 2 need to be at home stadiums. I don’t like the number one seed ending up having to play TX in TX. That is brutal.

There are some great matchups and it will be settled on the field.
