No doubt ESPN doesn’t want to wait that long, they want an exclusive

contract for the playoff.

IMHO, they are the ones behind Finebaum’s comments. My biggest concern is that they either convinced South Carolina and Florida to let Clemson and FSU in, or a way around them like did with Texas and Texas A&M.

So why would ESPN pay FSU, Clemson, ND etc more in the SEC than the ACC? -- Stech 01/21/2022 5:57PM

I think the alliance thang is beginning to form -- Mercury 01/22/2022 09:08AM

Given that the Alliance doesn't appear interested in including the Big XII, -- VTHokie2000 01/22/2022 12:43PM

Weird that we haven’t included the big 12. -- Truthahn 01/22/2022 8:39PM

Maybe they don't view the Big XII as being academically on par with the -- VTHokie2000 01/23/2022 09:28AM

True, but 4 to 1 is better than 3 to 2 -- Truthahn 01/23/2022 8:55PM

I agree that 4 is better than 3 simply because right now the ACC could be -- VTHokie2000 01/25/2022 08:55AM

The SEC prefers to load their OOC games with cupcakes...lol -- EDGEMAN 01/22/2022 12:25PM

I agree... -- MrFantastic! 01/22/2022 11:10AM

The B1G won't be doing that. -- HOO86 01/22/2022 12:43PM

That's what was said with the ND vs Miami match up in the ACC -- EDGEMAN 01/22/2022 06:54AM

And for every "new match up" an old rivalry disappears. So no thanks, Paul. -- Maroon Baboon 01/22/2022 08:48AM

Those schools want little to do with Alabama in the regular season. -- Truthahn 01/21/2022 9:41PM

Umm, we have them on our future schedule. We have no issue playing them -- goldendomer 01/21/2022 11:00PM

You play them when and how you want, that is different than in conference. ** -- Truthahn 01/22/2022 10:50AM

So, we have flexibility that conferences members do not ** -- goldendomer 01/22/2022 11:25AM
