Don't think the ACC cares about the top 25 and if Louisville was undefeated right now, the ACC would want them in the playoffs.My point was this. It has been claimed on this site and others that U of L is the red headed step child of the ACC so their officials go out of their way to make bias calls against us. In truth, the ACC wants as many teams from the conference represented in the college playoff and in the top 25 as possible. It couldn't be both right, conference wants us to win but officials are bias against us?
As for the ACC being biased against Louisville in these games, I don't think there's any conspiracy to screw the Cards with bad calls. I do believe there's a preference though, which can and has rubbed off on some officials, especially replay officials.
I, like all other Cards fans have not been all that happy with the ACC since we joined the conference. However, there is some reasoning that the conference may hold some disdain. The 2018 football team was the worst of all the big conference teams after quitting halfway through the season. And of course the hoops program, starting with Mack which led to KP, had the conference cringing.
I personally believe UofL won't be in the ACC very much longer. Changes in collegiate athletics are abundant these days and I don't see it changing anytime soon.
