ACCCG storyline that won't be talked about: the two best teams in the ACC this year weren't even in the conference 4 years ago.
Ga Tech to fire Gailey. Not sure if they would pursue Logan, but not good news.

"This sport needs a playoff." Couldn't agree more. If Oklahoma knocks off Mizzou, we will have a National Championship game with two teams who didn't have to play a conference championship game. WVU-Ohio State. Lame. Lame. Lame.
Also, looks like ESPN gameday going to Big XII championship game over ours.
Even though I am all for a playoff, for all intents and purposes both WVU and Ohio State played the equivalent of a conference championship game with their last games being against division leading foes UConn and Michigan respectively, albeit a home game (and ignoring the Pitt game for WVU).
WVU and Ohio State playing the equivalent of conference championships for the final game of the season is ONLY a byproduct of their schedule this year. To reward two teams with a shot at the national title that didn't have to play a conference championship seems a little crazy to me.
I don't think its far-fetched to think that an Illinois/Michigan couldn't beat Ohio State on a neutral field to win the Big 10 in a championship game. The Big East is another matter, since I think the conference is pretty weak this year and WVU is clearly the best team.
To put this in perspective, VTech would have already won the ACC w/o an ACC CG even though we finished second and we beat them.
Every conference needs a championship game to level the playing field in my opinion. Then take the 6 BCS conference winners and 2 at-larges and have an 8 game playoff.
how does VT move down 5 spots after a convincing win over a ranked uva team? weird.
How many teams would have the exact same record as ohio state or wvu if they played the exact same schedule. My guess at least a half dozen.
I actually agree with Bill re: VTech. I think we are the better team going into this game. Hence BC at 10 and VTech at 12. Granted, I am biased and no one in the media seems to think the same as I do.
I think Kansas is a little high at 3 though. The only team they have played with a >.500 winning pct and they lose.
Brian: "Every conference needs a championship game to level the playing field in my opinion. Then take the 6 BCS conference winners and 2 at-larges and have an 8 game playoff."
Except then, out of conference schedules mean absolutely nothing...
"Except then, out of conference schedules mean absolutely nothing..."
I disagree. At a minimum, out of conference records would count towards:
1) determining the 2 at-large births from the BCS standings (combination of record, SOS, and polls/rankings) and
2) seeding the 8 tournament teams
Plus, there will always be additional bowls for the rest of the ~64 other teams that are postseason eligible. So overall resume would count then as well.
This isn't so far off from how it is today.
