Hey everyone. Trying to get tickets to the championship game Saturday. Does anyone know which section Clemson fans are sitting?
Anybody have the code for 3+me promotion? Can’t find it anywhere but it’s listed on Ticketmaster for championship game.
I saw the post about wins against bowl eligible teams, which is interesting - kudos Syracuse - but with so many teams playing in bowls, including a lot of G5 teams that aren't that good, I was curious about this.
SMU - 11 total wins, 9 P4 wins (8 ACC wins + TCU)
Miami - 10 total wins, 7 P4 wins (6 ACC + Florida)
Clemson - 9 total wins, 7 P4 wins (7 ACC, no non-con)
Syracuse - 9 total wins, 5 P4 wins (5 ACC, no non-con)
Louisville - 8 total wins, 6 P4 wins (5 ACC + Kentucky)
Georgia Tech - 7 total wins, 5 P4 wins (5 ACC, no non-con)
Duke - 9 total wins, 6 P4 wins (5 ACC + Northwestern)
Virginia Tech - 6 total wins, 4 P4 wins (4 ACC, no non-con)
Boston College - 7 total wins, 5 P4 wins (4 ACC + Michigan State)
Pitt - 7 total wins - 7 total wins, 5 P4 wins (3 ACC + West Virginia + Cincinnati)
N.C. State - 6 total wins, 3 P4 wins (3 ACC, no non-con)
North Carolina - 6 total wins, 4 P4 wins (3 ACC + Minnesota)
Virginia - 5 total wins, 3 P4 wins (3 ACC, no non-con)
Cal - 6 total wins, 4* P4 wins (2 ACC + Auburn + Oregon State, who I am still counting as a P squad)
Wake Forest - 4 total wins, 2 P4 wins (2 ACC, no non-con)
Stanford - 3 total wins, 2 P4 wins (2 ACC, no non-con)
Florida State - 2 total wins, 1 P4 win (1 ACC, no non-con)
Nine teams did not have a single non-con win against another power conference program, six teams had one win against a non-con P4 school, two had two wins against P4 non-con schools. The conference went 0-5 against Notre Dame.
Ticketmaster is showing a promo for 20% off ACC championship game tickets that requires a promo code. Anyone have it and willing to share? TIA!
I was thinking of going to the women's soccer tournament this weekend in Cary, NC - until I saw the ticket prices. $225 for a single ticket after fees. Wow! I'm used to paying like $20-30 for tickets to college soccer, and guessed the semis prices might be $50-75, but I was way off.
Is it normally this expensive? Is there any way to get in for less? Tickets to the championship game are only $38 after fees, so I'm pretty surprised by the semis prices. I guess you do get two games with one ticket.
It appears that in every power conference for the 2024 season, a newcomer to the conference is either on track to win or has secured a spot in the championship game. Why do you think that is?
SEC: Texas (new to the SEC in 2024) has secured a spot in the SEC Championship Game against Georgia after an impressive 11-1 season.
Big Ten: Oregon (new to the Big Ten in 2024) is undefeated and will play in the Big Ten Championship Game against Penn State.
ACC: SMU (new to the ACC in 2024) has gone undefeated in conference play and will face Clemson in the ACC Championship Game.
Big 12: Arizona State (new to the Big 12 in 2024) has earned a spot in the Big 12 Championship Game against Iowa State.

(Other than certain FSU fans.)
FSU has been trying to foist a culture of "victimhood" on the conference ever since last year, when they missed the playoff after their quarterback was injured for the season and they simply didn't look elite down the stretch.
They piss and moan about "anti-ACC" bias, even though Clemson had been chosen for six consecutive playoffs. This is an attempt to spread their toxic attitude to the other ACC fan-bases.
Right not, the ACC will get at least one and possibly two teams in the playoffs. The likelihood of a third is pretty remote. This isn't about bias, but reality, so don't let certain fans poison your attitude about the playoff.
SMU should be safe, even if they lose the conference championship game to Clemson. They have been playing better and better as the season has gone on. That has been recognized by the pollsters and the committee. I think they are safe.
Clemson is obviously in if they win the conference championship game, but if they lose, they certainly don't deserve an at-large. They lost to Georgia and South Carolina (two SEC schools) as well as Louisville. The only team that Clemson has beaten, with a winning record, is 7-5 Pitt, and they have lost five consecutive games.
Miami is the toughest call, as they will missed the conference championship game. The Hurricanes started out 9-0. They have a win against resurgent Florida. They played one of the harder conference schedules, with wins at Cal and Louisville, and a win at home over Duke. Unfortunately, the Canes went 1-2 in their last three games, with road losses to Georgia Tech and Syracuse. Like Clemson, they will likely not have a win over a top 25 team.
If the conference only gets one or even two teams in the playoffs, this isn't "bias" or the conference being "fucked by the committee," this is simply a reflection of the performance of the ACC teams over the course of the season.
If the bias that some project, to compensate for their own team's failures, is about some inherent favoritism of the SEC over the ACC, well, Alabama beat the Georgia team that beat both Clemson and Tech. South Carolina beat Clemson.
Texas is clearly in the playoff, they are 11-1 with wins over defending national champions Michigan, Texas A&M, Florida, and Oklahoma. Georgia is clearly in, with wins over Clemson, Texas, Florida, Tennessee, and Georgia Tech. Tennessee should be safe - with wins over Alabama, Florida, Oklahoma, N.C. State, and Vanderbilt. Alabama is the fourth possible/likely SEC team in the playoff, but they beat Georgia and borderline playoff team South Carolina, as well as Missouri and LSU. The ACC doesn't have legitimate claims for at-large bids ahead of any of these four.
I'm an ACC lifer, but let's not bring ourselves down by pretending to be victims like the fanbase of one of our current members.
The way I see the playoffs, right at this moment (there are still a few Saturday games being played:
*G5 best - probably Boise State
*P5 winner ACC - probably SMU
*P5 winner SEC - probably Texas
*P5 winner B1G - probably Oregon
*P5 winner Big-12 - who knows, but it will be the only team they get. (ASU? ISU?)
*Notre Dame
Six other at-large teams:
*B1G CC game loser (probably Penn State)
*Indiana
*SEC CC game loser (probably Georgia)
*Tennessee
*If Clemson wins the ACC CC game, SMU goes here
*Ohio State
*Alabama
Two loss Ohio State will get the edge over Miami because of top ten wins over Penn State and Indiana. Alabama will get the edge because of the wins mentioned above.
If Clemson loses and the argument is between South Carolina, Mississippi, and Miami, I don't see how Miami has the wins that gets them the spot.
With Miami losing they become 10-2 and miss out on the ACC conference championship game. I think the committee will put 9-3 Bama or 9-3 South Carolina in at the 12 spot over 10-2 Miami.
SMU is 11-1 after a win against Cal, and seem to be in no matter what, even with a loss in the ACC championship game.
If Clemson loses in the championship game, this is a scenario where I see ONLY SMU being sent to the playoffs.
That means 1 (ONE!!!!!) ACC team sent to the playoffs this year. Be prepared for the utter complete bullshit from the committee.
Great game with Syracuse and Miami. I really thought Miami would have held it together but I am curious how people will think Clemson will match up against SMU.
Their run game is elite, passing seems to be okay. Both teams have got to be pretty wore down by this game though.
The ACC only gets one team in the playoffs.
