Absolute ass conference is what we are currently in. Whoever post the buttcrack meme with it was the hero we didn't deserve.

Does pac4 still get an autobid for ny6 bowl next year?

They would have to finish higher ranked than the others 

Bull Matrix is right. 2023 is the last year where the 2 NY6 bowls are playoff games and 4 are regular bowls. The P5 have a guaranteed spot for their conference champ in one of the regular bowls if they aren't in the playoffs. But 2024 and 2025 have the expanded playoff so all 6 NY6 bowls become playoff games: 4 as quarterfinals and 2 as semifinals. So no more champ tie in. They'd have to be ranked high enough to be included in either the 6 champs or 6 at large.

You know what I never see in these reports? Any explanation as to how any of these new proposed schools/financials will placate the ACC schools that want to leave. Because they won't. And that's the primary issue!

Remember, it takes a significant percentage of the membership to vote for expansion (I don't know precisely what that is, but I suspect it's 3/4 of the membership). When someone reports that there are enough votes in the ACC to expand to include the PAC-2 and SMU, I'll be concerned. I suspect FSU, Clemson, and UM (at least) will not vote for such a proposal. And if they don't but the rest of the conference overrides them, it simply makes their push to get out of the conference that more critical - how can they stay in a conference where their opinions are essentially ignored?

This ACC thing is a fight over money. Until someone shows me that adding the PAC-2 and SMU will solve the ACC's money issue and satisfy FSU, Clemson, and UM (and perhaps others), I'll remain skeptical about all of this. Could just be an ESPN/ACC smokescreen.

ESPN could easily pony up 1/2 shares for Stanford and Cal to secure the late night time slot they will be losing next year.  SMU has reportedly offered up zero shares for 5 years!  The carriage fees brought in by the ACC network from the Cali and Texas markets could easily boost the media distribution for all.......follow the money

Think I heard some people talking about making some shirts. I still have not seen the new AAC commercial but I heard they didn’t feature USF in it for very long lol. Said we only has a split second in the beginning. Hopefully they are virtue signaling that USF will be leaving soon

This OS Beaver peep is pretty hyped. Think of it how this fan feels compared to USF fans. They were making tons in the PAC. Now he is choosing to remain optimistic and hyping up the AAC. Love to see it!!

didn't the Mountain West teams already emphatically state they were not interested in a new G5 super conference?

I know but you got to least respect their AD for putting something out there and trying to move his team forward.

I completely respect it. I think a MWC/AAC alliance would strengthen both conferences. If it were to have happened, the winner of that championship game should have a guaranteed spot in the playoff. The idea was DOA because ESPN/FOX don't want that.

Seems that USF is now one of the better options left per random college football fans…
