Again...the main point is that the ACC was against expanding earlier.

That's the whole point.

Whatever vote may or may not have happened, and what the other members of the Alliance may or may not have favored, the bottom line is that the ACC was against the solution that would have ended up putting FSU in the playoffs this year. That's why we don't give a shite about them bitching today.


They weren't necessarily against playoff expansion itself.

They saw the SEC and B1G trying to build a two league system and were simply trying to keep their own conferences relevant.

Saying they were against playoff expansion is akin to saying a senator is against children because he votes in opposition to a massive foreign spending bill with $500k earmarked for education.

I don't even like FSU, I would probably cheer for Alabama over FSU head to head but it's dumb to say this is the university or the conference's fault.

Both Alabama and FSU had legitimate arguments and FSU ends up holding the short end of the stick.

No one said they were against expansion. They were against expanding before 2024.

That's the point. Expand this year and they're in. They were opposed to that.

FSU had the chance to join the SEC in 1992.... but thought better of it.
