# | Bitter blog - An admittedly impractical suggestion for solving the ACC’s football scheduling problem Let's not forget Vick had the defense led by Corey Moore...
Oh yes!
Solid Offensive Line? whatt?
I imagine HD writing her blog like this:
Was just listening to the Kyle Bailey show and he reported that by all accounts Nnadi named VT his leader this weekend at the Rivals Camp.
Good news! so was hearing Andrew Brown put us in his top 5, and leave out LOLUVA. These two tackles along with DBU could make our defense natty champ worthy in the coming years. We just need our offense to come together.
We need another #BEATBAMA shirt on this picture... right... here...
I can officially say I will be in Europe, somewhere between Italy, Switzerland, or (hopefully) Germany watching the Hokies #BEATBAMA. Definitely need to get that picture
He is probably one of the nicest guys ever. Probably too nice since he will kind of just let you get away with whatever and still get an A.
Ha, Ha.
Read the Comment section underneath the 'story.'.......very funny.
Ex. 'There's a whole lot HD doesn't get. Like respect and cat calls.'
I am getting way too much enjoyment out of the title of your post
Dr. Katz from Civil Engineering does that...
So far we have 2 guys saying they will upload pictures of their girlfriends in these shirts. I think we are in need of other articles of #BEATBAMA clothing...
I am not one to wish harm on anybody. However, I might celebrate if I was to open a newspaper and see that Joe Flacco got hit by a bus.
I think I've convinced my gf to take her shirt with her when she goes on her Mediterranean cruise in a week or so. I'll upload the pics when she gets back
What didja expect when they hired Butch Davis back in the day? But I seriously doubt the NCAA will ever apply the SMU treatment to any program every again; but they can do something like they did to Penn State.

# | Bitter blog - An admittedly impractical suggestion for solving the ACC’s football scheduling problem The conference championship games aren't exactly "elimination games" as far as the BCS goes. All the talking heads were saying that LSU was a lock heading into the SECCG, since they were so far out ahead of everyone else, so that even if they lost to UGA then they would have been in the BCS title game. I was going off of this and saying that if it was Bama instead of Georgia, that the same would have held true, especially since Bama would have been a much more quality opponent for SoS and all than Georgia was.
If there was a rule saying that you had to win your conference to get into the MNCG, Bama wouldn't have played in it since they didn't even win their division. And in 2003, Oklahoma lost the Big 12 title game to Kansas State and still played in the MNCG. In 2001, Nebraska lost their division to Colorado, and played Miami in the MNCG.

# | Bitter blog - An admittedly impractical suggestion for solving the ACC’s football scheduling problem Just go straight up Hunger Games for the tiebreaker. Each coach picks his 11 "tributes" who must go against every other team's 11. The first team to cross either endzone with the ball is the winner. If you recover the ball from the other team, you must go to the endzone on the opposite side of the 50 from where you recovered it. Problem solved and a great chance for excellent TV ratings.

# | Bitter blog - An admittedly impractical suggestion for solving the ACC’s football scheduling problem Yeah, I wouldn't hold my breath on Notre Dame. And without the Irish, no way the ACC looks for additional teams that just waters down the product.

# | Bitter blog - An admittedly impractical suggestion for solving the ACC’s football scheduling problem Notre Dame has a pretty lucrative TV contract with NBC through 2025. Unless the ACC comes up with a deal where ND keeps the TV rights to their home games, which the rest of the conference almost certainly wouldn't allow, I don't see them jumping into the ACC for football.

# | Bitter blog - An admittedly impractical suggestion for solving the ACC’s football scheduling problem 1) Right on. If it can work out conveniently, by all means use head-to-head. I'd be less enthralled by using records vs common opponents or any other standard tiebreaker. The only mess I could think of getting into would be where, say, #1 already beat #2a and #2b, who tied for second. I'd love it if conference championship games couldn't be rematches. But hacking through the logistics of this wouldn't be worth considering.
2) This is what got Texas - Texas Tech - Oklahoma all hot and bothered in the big 12 a few years back. I wasn't really happy with it, either, but I couldn't really care less about who wins a division in the big 12.
While I was considering the 3 permanent opponent model, I also considered, along the same lines, 4 4-team divisions, with each division winner being in a conference semifinal. I was thinking the conference semis would have to be the last league game of the year, naturally, but this would make scheduling very difficult in addition to figuring where the game would be played, which would need to be decided the week before. There were many problems with this line of thought, but that was the spot where I quit.
I suppose there is one way that I haven't heard anyone discuss before related to selecting a second team when the first team is locked in (think LSU in the LSU/Bama BCS rematch a few years back). Why not take the 'locked in' team and remove their games from everyones' records? Rerank and see where they stack up. If there are any other undefeated teams after that, remove their games and rerank. Else, take the team(s) with the fewest remaining losses instead. Continue until all teams are ranked.
Thanks, I do what I can
