ACC Fans

The way it looks right now if VT beats Virginia and UM loses to NCST then VT will get to the ACC championship game because they have the tie breaker over GT. If VT and UM both win VT has the win over GT but a lost to UM, UM has the win over VT but a lose to GT, and GT has the win over UM but a lose to VT . In that case would GT get it since they are ranked 18 in the polls and the others aren't ranked ? And if VT and the U lose then GT will obviously go to the championship game

If BC beats Maryland then they'll go to the championship game because they have the tiebreaker over FSU. If Maryland wins then FSU goes to the championship game because they have the tiebreaker over Maryland.

Sat. should been very interesting in the ACC

Good luck GT.

From what I saw on ESPN over the weekend/and just now online as long as VT beats UVA they will go to the ACCCG no matter what the other two do. And it looks like a BC rematch, as long as they beat Maryland this weekend.

Oh boy another empty stadium for a conference championship game, because they won't hold the game anywhere near 90% of the schools in the conference.

That's how I understand it to be too. The only thing Miami's playing for is a warmer weather/east coast bowl game as opposed to San Fran or Boise. That being said--I'll be down in Raleigh this weekend, supporting the Canes, ACCCG on the line or not.

The second tiebreaker is losses within the division and VT only has one, to Miami. Miami has two, to Georgia Tech and North Carolina. Georgia Tech has three, to Virginia Tech, Virginia, and North Carolina. So if VT wins, they go to the ACC Championship game. If they lose then Georgia Tech goes because of their head to head tiebreaker with Miami, which is the first tiebreaker.

Since Georgia Tech has already finished ACC play I do not believe Miami has a chance to go to the ACC Championship game.

Gesh it's even better than i thought it was for VT good !

And they had this ingenious idea of PLAYING IN TAMPA which moves the game even farther away [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img] With the economy being what it is coupled with the possible teams there may not be 20,000 there!! And 15,000 will live in the Tampa area. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/blush.gif[/img]

I think it should be in NC or VA that's about as halfway as you can get

Having it in Tampa is stupid

Why not have it in Charlotte? Central location for everyone.

Maybe they could have it in Atlanta before the SEC champioship game. It would be like a JV game and then a Varsity. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img]

Honistly weather the ACC wants there Championship game played somewhere warm Now if there was a dome avalable further north I am sure it would be considered plus IMHO I think when this whole thing was set up the thought was it would be FSU vs UM 4 out of 5 years

It would be hard at times, but why not even throw this out in the air. Don't decide on a place until the last couple of weeks (see what teams are in the running and who is most likely to go) coordinating it with a possibility of locations as you narrow down those locations as the season starts coming to an end.

They were expecting it to be fsu/miami in the game and that would have been perfect nearly exactly half-way between the two. When will the conference realize that there is a greater possibility that only one of these teams will make the game and even greater that neither will make the game and pick a better site. Hell they want to accomodate miami so bad they can't stand it and they have only been in the conference 3 years. The most ideal spot would be Charlotte but then you get them saying that area allready has the basketball tourny, well what's wrong with them having the football as well since it is the most centrally located place for the whole conference not just two schools that only one of which has ever even been in the game.

Had they been smart they would have put FSU and UM in the same divison. This way the two former powers could have both had a better shot at going to the BCS, but that will probably never happen now.

They thought that would be the yearly championship game I reckon.

Which would more than likely cost the ACC more money than it would make them in the long run.

Also explains why the championship is on a neutral field in Florida as well..

Rotate it, it pisses me off to no end the basketball tournament is held in North Carolina 90% of the time.

NC is where it should be all of the time..it's the central location.

It basically turns in to a home game for UNC/Duke. I think it should be played in NC 5 times, Maryland once, Boston once, Richmond twice, Florida twice, etc.

Actually, you have UNC, Duke, Wake, and NC Sate in close proximity..that's 1/3 of the conference....Clemson isn't far either.

That's why I said play in NC 5 times. It's pretty ridiculous to me though that it's been played in the Maryland/DC area once in the last 20 years.

That would be a very good idea but they would be too lazy to go through the trouble

FWIW, I'm pretty sure the ACC moved their Baseball tourny to NC last season, or the one before.

They wanted to have the baseball tourney at Fenway, but there was a scheduling conflict that caused Fenway to refuse the ACC to hold it there.

Instead, they moved it to the Durham Bulls' ballpark in NC.
