We lose plenty of games where it puts a big dent in my following week. Almost always by the next game, I am ready to go again.
You have to remember that UGA has all these advantages: they cheat, they will take any player, they can keep them in school while doing no work, etc. playing a school like that at the end of the year when you may be in the hunt for the ACC championship is counterproductive.
PJ was correct. Why do we have to play Clemson every year while the rest of the Coastal generally plays weenies. Add in UGA and our obstacles, we should manipulate everything we can to our advantage.
I am glad we play Clemson now. We only play two teams that are above average now. ACC ain't great. Season is UGA and Clemson. Every other ACC team is blah blah blah now.

I like playing Clemson but few teams play two to three sometimes extra out top ten out of division teams a year.

I'm trying real hard to care what Mark Bradley thinks about anything.

Nope! Nothing yet! I'll keep trying.

The only thing that's changed around UGA football is the media narrative. Sure they finished #3 overall in the regular season in 2017 but they've had plenty of top 5/10 finishes over the years all with the same result: no championship. If it weren't for the CFP they would've wound up playing the B12 runner up in the sugar bowl that year.

Tech should be in the same division as Clemson and F$U. All the former Big East teams in the ACC should be in the same division. This makes much more sense geographically, and nobody would be at a disadvantage with cross division rival.

Atlantic.....................Coastal
Miami(FL)..................F$U
VT...............................Virginia
BC...............................Clemson
Louisville....................GT
Pitt..............................UNC
Syracuse.....................NC State
Wake...........................Duke

Quickly, the ACC is split so everyone can recruit down in Florida. And the old Big East teams do not want to play in an old Big East division. GT is in a good division for itself.

Somewhat agree. The 12-team alignment was set up for FSU vs Miami conference championship games, which hasn't happened once since expansion. We should rework it into North vs South. VPI would blow a gasket at being included in the North, but whatever.

I really hate that guy.
I don't even waste any hate or any emotion at all on him. Many years ago when I was lucky enough to cover GT sports for The Technique I got to see how lazy and unengaged Mark Bradley was. He would barely watch the game if he was there and collect the quotes from the SID staff after the game and then ask a couple of stupid questions he seemed to think were insightful and then he'd write a piece on the game he didn't even watch. I lost any respect I had for him as a writer back then. He sometimes stumbles across some truth. And he sometimes writes well. But my time is worth too much to me to waste any of it reading what he says or caring that he even has an opinion.

Whistling past the graveyard of Miami, VPI, North Carolina, Duke, UVA, NCST, and Temple. :heelclick:
