The CFP Manifest Destiny
I along with countless others have maintained from day one this day was coming. While still four short of the eventual sixteen team playoff, twelve is a dadgum good number! This debate rages across the country and dining room tables.
None the less according to Pete Thamel( @PeteThamel ) Rose Bowl officials signed paperwork clearing the way for the expanded 12 team playoff to began as soon as the 2024 and 2025 seasons.
If your like me as soon as you saw the four team playoff your mind goes to the fourteen top five AP Rankings in a row from like 1987- 2000 at FSU but who’s counting anyway.
This guy took it a step further and did a really nice breakdown showing even with recent down year the Logo still carries weight!
ACC Finally Cancels Divisions
This was a problem the ACC should have fixed at least a decade ago. The time has finally come and it lines up pretty damn well with our new Athletic director at FSUs interests.
Micheal Alford has been Johnny on the spot and is becoming quite the househild name in Tallahassee.
No more nightmare in-division shcedule with five or six top 40 teams all in the Atlantic back to back. Now its spread out. We trade NCSU and Louisville for Duke And Virginia Tech. After the regular season, the first and second place ACC team out of the current fourteen will square off for the ACC title.
No more 11-1 or 12-0 Florida State abolutely destroying Duke, or Clemson molly whopping Miami 38-3. Had this structure been in place this year we would likely be watching the Clemson - FSU rematch tonight! Not only that, but we would be firmly positioned inside of a twelve team playoff if IT was in effect.
Long story short Mike Norvell has this thing headed the right direction! The 2023 season while technically his fourth here is more like that third year when eveything comes together! I will leave you with a tweet showing FSUs conference opponents for 2023 and beyond from DT Sports Media @CallaDT on twitter.
