Locked On ACC - Daily College Football & Basketball Podcast - REVEALED: Notre Dame ATHLETIC DIRECTOR CALLS OUT ACC—Historic RIFT Ahead?

Starting point is 00:00:00 Miami gets into the college football playoff. Notre Dame doesn't. And here's why the fighting Irish are furious with the ACC? You are locked on ACC, your daily podcast on the Atlantic Coast Conference. Part of the Locked on podcast network, your team every day. There is so much fallout from the controversy of the way the college football playoff committee chose to. I think that they, for the most part, they got it right.

Starting point is 00:00:37 In my opinion, a lot of you might disagree. But it was the way that they presented it for five weeks that I think has a lot of feathers ruffled. Thank you so much to the everydayers for making Locked on ACC your first listen. We're available wherever you get your podcast. We're on YouTube. We're part of the Lockdown Podcast Network, now the number one sports podcast network. And today's episode is brought to you by GameTime. Download the GameTime app.

Starting point is 00:01:01 Create your account and use code Locked on College. for $20 off your first purchase. We'll talk about the ACC bowl games and postseason games. Eleven teams selected for bowl games or in Miami's case, the playoff. We'll talk about that. He is Kenton Gibbs from Lockdown Wolfpack and former NC State defensive linemen. I am Alex Dono from Lockdown Kane. So obviously I've got to smile on my face today.

Starting point is 00:01:24 You know, Kenton, when you were watching that CFP reveal on Sunday, were you surprised as I was that Alabama stayed at number nine after what happened to them against Georgia, and then Miami not Notre Dame was selected with the final at large? Alabama not moving an inch surprise no one. It surprised no one. Let's all be honest. We all knew the rules of the committee are very selective and subjective. the rules of the committee said nobody's going to be penalized for playing in and losing a conference championship game. Unless you're BYU. I was just about to apply to Alabama. Yeah, sure.

Starting point is 00:02:10 Sure. Our Mormon friends in Utah cannot say the same. I am so sorry to the boys in Provost. I am so sorry. I know that they're going to have a strong, strong cup of milk on the rocks to wash away the pain there. But we go beyond that and then you say Miami getting in, was that surprising? It was extremely surprising. It was extremely surprising because they had been consistently behind Notre Dame.

Starting point is 00:02:38 And even when we were told, well, they're in, they have to be within this many teams to have the head-to-head be comparable. Even when they got within that range, the head-to-head was not the deciding fact. Or there was something else that was a deciding factor that kept Notre Dame ahead. in what seemed like perpetuity. For those of you who don't know what perpetuity means, look it up, expand your vocabulary. It seemed like it was going to be in that way. And then last minute, at the 11th hour,

Starting point is 00:03:10 1159 and 59 seconds, oh, Miami's in. And it's like, what? What? But I'm glad that the committee set the precedent that head to head is what matters the most. And the thing that I hate the most, hate the most is I keep hearing, well, nobody should schedule tough games anymore. Well, nobody should schedule tough games anymore.

Starting point is 00:03:31 I'm going to say it like this without scheduling tough games, right? Imagine if Notre Dame keeps their current schedule, but they throw in New Mexico for Miami and they throw in, let's say, UMass for Texas A&M. know but they still end up losing two games and the two games end up losing are to the best two teams that they play in that schedule are they considered a playoff team no no nobody's going to say oh my god you you're hung tough with USC so we're going to let you in so you know all this oh nobody's going to play tough games anymore and order they're reacting the way that they have is saw it's so it's it's charm and ultra saw it's so it's charmin ultra saw

Starting point is 00:04:19 But, you know, I really and truly see this. Take your ball and go home. Think no bowl means anything. If it's not a national championship, we don't care. Soft. It's soft. And I'm going to tell you, I've said this before. And so far, every time I've said it, I've been right.

Starting point is 00:04:36 When you spread losing culture in your locker room, it does not just get better out of nowhere. Because that's losing culture. Losing culture is I didn't get my way. I'm not going to play the book. You're not going to benefit off me. If you don't give me what I want, well, who is going to benefit if you got in the playoffs? Who is going to benefit? Those same people, right?

Starting point is 00:04:57 So it's okay so long as you get everything that you want. But if you don't, now, oh, it's all. So I was watching this interview everybody's talking about Pete Bavakwa, the Notre Dame Athletic Director, was on Dan Patrick. It was about a 10-minute interview. And Bavakwa, like, he was composed. He wasn't ranting and raving or anything. Like I've got the full context from watching it. And I thought certain things he brought up, I thought were fair, right?

Starting point is 00:05:28 The frustration with the Tuesday night college football playoff reveal that went on for, what, six episodes before they gave the final reveal, like the whole time it had Notre Dame in until all they did was, you know, win all their games. And then suddenly they were out. Like, again, I think we both think that they got it right, but why it's, took them six episodes to get it right with Miami in front of Notre Dame was very odd. So, like, I can understand his frustration with that. It makes sense. But then Bavacua takes a shot at the ACC, which I thought misdirected anger.

Starting point is 00:06:02 He told Dan Patrick, we were mystified by the actions of the ACC to attack their biggest partner in football. They have certainly done permanent damage to the relationship between the conference in Notre Dame. So Kenton, tell me if I'm missing something here, because what were those actions that Pat Bavakwa thinks caused permanent damage? Was it the ACC's social media accounts lobbying for Miami to get in because of a head-to-head win against Notre Dame? Because Miami's a full member of the ACC. They beat Notre Dame, who's not a member in football. So the ACC promoted that is a data a point to get Miami in? Was it the fact that the ACC, they had the audacity to replay

Starting point is 00:06:51 Miami's week one victory against Notre Dame on the ACC network? Oh, what an insulting thing to do, that they would replay that game the week before the committee cast their final vote. So, and even the ACC commissioner, Jim Phillips, who, you know, I'm not a big fan of. I don't think you are either, not to put words in your mouth. Like he put out like a video statement promoting Miami the day before. But it was like the most benign thing. Like he didn't even mention Notre Dame by name. He did not disparage Notre Dame.

Starting point is 00:07:26 Like he walked and straddled the fence extremely carefully. And he does have two children who go to Notre Dame. They may have to transfer based on the way this is all going down. But I thought Jim Phillips said like nothing that could be construed as attacking Notre Dame. but they're very insulted that the conference's social media accounts reminded people that Miami beat Notre Dame head to head. To me, this is misdirected anger. What was the ACC supposed to say is what I would ask Mr.

Starting point is 00:07:56 Vavakwa and anybody else who feels like at the ACC did Notre Dame at their service? What were they supposed to say? Oh, our part-time, our part-time member in Notre Dame is such a great team. and therefore we don't want our full-time member who beat our part-time member to be in the playoff. And for this sport in particular, in which the playoff we're talking, is the only sport, by the way, that they have, except maybe hockey, I believe, is the other one. They might have hockey sponsor at Notre Dame, but ACC doesn't have that in terms of varsity. So two sports and one of which being the ACCC does not have it,

Starting point is 00:08:36 And if we're talking about revenue generation, college hockey is not. Nobody gives a damn. I'm sorry. Nobody, I'm from Hockey Town. I love me some hockey. Let's go red with. But I'm not going to sit here and tell you,

Starting point is 00:08:52 oh, this means that the ACC should have sat there quietly and ate their food while Notre Dame did whatever they did, or we're going to do. This to me is, like you said, misdirected anger and south. grapes. This, to me, is a bunch of people who are used to always getting their way, setting their terms, setting their conditions, finally having it go against them. And now it's, oh, my Lord, my lans, I can't believe it. I can't believe it. And we were in ACC, we'd miss out on the playoff just like your champion. Are you, so in your mind, if you were in the ACC, you go 75?

Starting point is 00:09:32 No, right? You imagine that you'd still be 10 and 2. You'd a medal that you still be 10 and two. And Donald, correct me if I'm wrong, but a 10 and two team with a much smaller brand and a much worse football history than Notre Dame was a lot for the playoff if they won the conference championship, correct? Yeah, that's correct. Oh, okay. So it seems to me, me thinks you wouldn't have been hurt by that.

Starting point is 00:09:58 In this particular instance, you could talk about all the money and all the logistics and all the things along those lines, but in this instance that we are talking about here, People are not proposing anything crazy or illegitimate. And beyond that, it is, to me, foolish to say, because we are partners with you all and because we are members in every other sport, you should also give us the benefit of the doubt and sit there quietly and shut your mouth when the biggest revenue generator is on the table. Stop.

Starting point is 00:10:28 Yeah, if you want to get treated like a full-time member of a conference, join a conference. It's the last thing I'm going to say on that. And if you don't want to join a conference because you feel you're better off being independent and you've got this sweet TV deal with NBC, then understand the consequences to come with that. That you can't expect the conference who you treat like they're your sidepiece. You can't expect them to promote you over their wife when the wife beat you head to head and you're trying to get wifey into the playoffs. You can't expect that sort of treatment. What do you mean the wife got the hotel on Valentine's Day, the trip to Paris and the roses and all that? I is the sidepiece.

Starting point is 00:11:09 Don't deserve that, Don't know. What do you mean? What? I just get the motel six and the holiday in. Meanwhile, the wife is eating baguettes at the Eiffel Tower. I'm shocked. I'm miffed. Well, we got to talk a little bit about Miami when we come back.

Starting point is 00:11:30 So Miami is the ACC's only representative in the college football playoff. And they're going to have a difficult matchup at a tough road environment at Texas A&M. But I think they catch a little bit of a break with the scheduling. You want to keep it locked right here. We're only getting started on this brand new episode of Locked on ACC.

I am Alex Dono from Lockdown-Kane's. All right, so Kenton, Miami gets in with the 10 seed,

Starting point is 00:13:46 the final at-large bid, and they're going to match up with the Aggies. College Station, Texas, December 20th. Two really good football teams. And Kenton, there's a lot of strength versus strength on these teams, both really good. up front. I mean, Miami's defensive line has the highest pro football focus grades in the country. Texas A&M's defensive line are co-leaders in the nation in sacks with Oklahoma.

Starting point is 00:14:11 Both offensive lines are really good. They both have playmakers at receiver with Casey Concepcion, your old friend on the Aggie side and Malachi Tony on Miami side. I think this is a hell of a matchup, and Miami's got to go to college station, which is one of the best and toughest to play it in college football. I think Miami catches a little bit of a break, though, that it's a noon game on December 20th. If this was an 8 p.m. game, that goes from like a 10 to a 12 with the energy level. So a noon game, I think Miami catches a slight break. Oh, absolutely.

Starting point is 00:14:46 But you know, Texas A&M said that they've already got Rubin Bain in the bag. You know, they said that there's... Oh, you saw that, huh? One of their old linemen... Yeah, one of their old linens is that he's not much of a threat. that they're going to have to worry about. They got great players over there. And I noticed that he said that, he said, well, the pick just came out,

Starting point is 00:15:07 so we haven't had time to watch film yet. And I'm like, oh, oh, oh, oh. Have fun. You're going to have fun. You're going to have fun. I strongly believe he's going to be in front of a camera soon. We did. Hey, Rubin, you're a great guy.

Starting point is 00:15:22 I'm a Christian. You're a Christian. Let's pray this thing out. Let, you know, we're all good people here. No, but seriously, that is a strength on strength. matchup here. And there is a lot of similarities with both of these teams. I'm very intrigued to see how a matchup of players who are not considered the best players on their team, but it is the most important position in this game, will be Marcel Reed, Carson Beck,

Starting point is 00:15:48 who plays the better football game? Because at times this year, we have seen Marcel Reed look like Superman. And then at times this year, it's been like, hey, can that kid? hit a brick. Can he hit the side of a barn from the field? Like what's going on here? And then same thing with Carson Beck. There have been times where the ball just zips off his hand. And he makes his read decisively. And it looks like he knows where he's going. He's comfortable. He's not guessing. He's anticipating and things are popping open. And then there are moments where he just could not stop finding the other team's jersey. And it's like, hey, you do know. Sharing is only caring on the playground. Buddy, this is.

Starting point is 00:16:29 is real football. So I'm very intrigued to see who wins that quarterback matchup because while both of these teams have dynamic running backs and dynamic running games, while both of these teams do have wonderful slot receivers and Tony and Concepcion, while both of these teams do have fantastic edge rushers in Winston and bang, I still look at these teams and I say quarterback play is going to be a massive factor in this way. How much do you think like current form or end of the season form carries over, you know, because for what it's worth, like in Miami's favor, Miami ended the season, probably playing their best football, especially on the offensive side. The defense was good all year, but Miami's offense found another gear in the final month.

Starting point is 00:17:15 Texas A&M in the final month, you know, they had the loss to Texas to end the season. They had kind of a miracle victory to beat a bad South Carolina team at home. Marcel Reed, I don't know if he's going to be a hunt. I know he's going to play. You know, he injured his ankle against Texas. He came back to the game. I don't know how banged up he's going to be. Like, I guess, and again, I can understand why Miami is a three and a half point underdog in this game.

Starting point is 00:17:40 Like, this is a game Texas A&M probably should win at home. But how much do you think like the end of the season form? Is that something that may carry over to this game? Well, if we're talking the end of season form and we're talking about, you know, who did what win, how far back are we going? Right, because that becomes the question to me. I think both of these teams, I don't think there will be a ton of overlap because both of these teams have had multiple weeks off to correct. It'll be about three weeks off by the time they play. And that's what I mean here, right?

Starting point is 00:18:14 Like it would be a different situation if we're talking about like, hey, this is conference championship weekend. Like, we got to see right now because then you don't have time to kind of recompose yourself from however bad you look or build a post. however good you look. To me, if anything, it hurts the team that was playing the best coming in because it haunts your momentum and it gives the team that was playing poorly a chance to rebuild some momentum. So we'll see. But, you know, the health of Reed is important and not just important because of it's the quarterback position, the way in which Marcel Reed plays the quarterback position. When he looks like Superman, it's not because it's one, two, three, the ball is out. There are some quarterbacks that dominate in that. fashion. That's not him. He's one of those guys that when things get out of structure, when things break down a little bit, that's where he shows you a lot of his magic. If you got a gimpy ankle and you're running away from Bain and Mezador and company on that thing, hey now, let's, Bessain ain't nobody to be trifled with if you're trying to run away from a linebacker. So the reality of what I see here is this, this thing to me, end of season of form doesn't really matter because

Starting point is 00:19:29 you're virtually having camp all over again because camp in the NCAA is about three weeks. That's what you're looking at again here, just with game planning for one opponent in mind. Yeah. And, you know, for the health issues on both sides, they have time to mend, right? I mean, I mentioned Marcel Reed injured his ankle against Texas. He's going to have three weeks in between, you know, in Miami's case. Miami's hoping to get their top defensive back, Keontay Scott. There's some optimism that he could be ready to return.

Starting point is 00:19:59 For the CFP, he missed Miami's last two games with a foot injury. He's running again, which is a really good sign. So these teams are going to be as healthy as they've been, I think, in a while by the time they square off. All right, so Kent and Miami is the only team that gets into the field of 12 from the ACC. I wasn't surprised that Duke didn't get in. I think we were both hoping that Virginia would win the ACC championship game because they would have been a lock with an auto bid. but the ACC is going to do what they do. And that's coastal chaos.

Starting point is 00:20:31 Coastal chaos reigns supreme. And there were even times when it looked like Duke was trying to lose that game. And they still came out on top at overtime. So you weren't surprised either that Duke did not sneak in or were you? No, I wasn't surprised. Who thought Duke was going to sneak in? And let me tell you how upsetting the whole Duke's situation was. Okay.

Starting point is 00:20:52 when Phillips and the ACC Twitter team came out and started making graphics for Duke, we all sat up and said up and what the hell are you doing, man? You can't put a five-lost team in the playoff. Especially, we can't talk about Miami's head-to-head. And then we're talking about putting you in potentially over Tulane who had a head-to-head over Duke. Right.

Starting point is 00:21:22 Yeah. What are we doing here? So to me, it became very clear. At the end of the day, it is what it is. We accept how it goes. We accept how it went. And you move on. You move on.

Starting point is 00:21:35 You say, hey, you know, the great year by Duke. Great year. Congratulations. I got to eat some crow. I said that Virginia was going to take them out to the woodshed, and that did not happen. I accept that. But with that in mind, a playoff team Duke does not make

Starting point is 00:21:51 just because they've won this. this football game. That's not how this works. That's not how this works. It was always going to be the five top rated conference champions. You were already ranked behind them near every team that played in a conference championship this week besides what? Western Michigan and Miami, Ohio. That's about it. What are we doing here? Yeah, well, they won't be in the playoff, that's for sure. Duke will be in a bowl game, and there are, including Miami and the CFP, there's 11 ACC teams that are going to be playing postseason. We'll talk about that. And I think there's a

Starting point is 00:22:33 couple matchups here. And I know, listen, regular bowl games, I still enjoy watching these. And I think there's a couple of really good matchups on the plate. You want to keep it locked right here. We're not done yet on this brand new episode of Locked on ACC. Folks, the holidays come with two big goals.

All right.

Starting point is 00:24:04 So, Kenton, if we go in, hold on, let me pause for a second. So if we look at postseason games, bowl matchups, we go in chronological order, Kenton. Your NC State Wolfpack will be in action December 19th. That's at the Union Home Mortgage, Gasparilla Bowl in Tampa versus Memphis. Let me get through all these and we'll share our thoughts here. Then the aforementioned Miami at Texas A&M, CFP game is going to be Saturday, December 20th, Tuesday, December 23rd. You've got the Bush's best Boca Raton Bowl of Beans. That's what they call it.

Starting point is 00:24:41 Louisville taking on Toledo. On December 24th, Christmas Eve on Wednesday, you've got Cal against Hawaii in the Sheridan Hawaii Bowl in Honolulu. Not a bad place to visit. December 27th, you've got the bowl. Go bowling military bowl. Pitt taking on East Carolina. Saturday, December, also same day, December 27th, the Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl.

Starting point is 00:25:07 I like this matchup. Clemson against Penn State. On December 27th in the Pop-Tarts Bowl in Orlando, this is the one that Notre Dame turned down. So Georgia Tech is in. They're going to take on BYU. I like that matchup. Notre Dame, BYU would have been even more fun,

Starting point is 00:25:24 but Georgia Tech, BYU is good. Also, December 27th, you've got 19th ranked Virginia against Missou. I like that matchup. December 31st, the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl. You've got Duke against Arizona State, Duke the ACC champions. On January 2nd in the Duke's Mayo Bowl in Charlotte, you got Wake Forest against Mississippi State. And then also on January 2nd, the Trust and Will Holiday Bowl in San Diego is going to have SMU against number 17, Arizona. Any of those tickle your fancy?

Starting point is 00:25:59 First of all, as much as I give Duke football crap about their fans not showing up and all that, they deserve better than the Sun Bowl. They should have been the team selected to be in the Belt Bowl or something like that. I mean, Duke's Mayo Bowl or something, because they've earned that. They're the conference. At least the Pop-Tart. Like, I know, you know, I know people make fun of the Pop-Tart Bowl, but it's a bigger bowl. It's a bigger bowl.

Starting point is 00:26:24 And whether you like it or not, whether you like it or not, Duke is your ACC champion. I'm sorry, that's a VAT. That's a VAT. So celebrate the ACC champion, give them respect as the ACC champions, and go from there. Now, with that in mind, Clemson and Penn State, imagine, if you will, coming into the season, telling everybody, hey, do you know that Clemson and Penn State will be playing this year during Bowles season? What would everybody say? Well, of course, in the playoffs. Yes, Sugar Bowl, Rose Bowl, Orange Bowl, Tostino Fiesta Bowl, something like that. Oh, no.

Starting point is 00:27:04 The pinstrike bowl, you say? The pinstrike bowl? Oh, boy. And then you'll say one of those teams won't have their coach. One team will be coachless in that game. What? What is happening? Do we live any upside down?

Starting point is 00:27:23 or it has to be dabble because it couldn't be the team that was just this close to a national championship last year couldn't be. Oh, there without their coach. What a world we live in. If somebody woke up from an 11-month coma right now and was like, wait, what's going on in college sports? They wouldn't believe it. And yet here we are. I think that's a very interesting match up for a ton of reasons. I'm very interested to see who actually plays.

Starting point is 00:27:51 How do these two fill the team? Because I'd be shocked. Clemson doesn't normally have problems with transfers. Penn State, on the other hand, a recruiting class of two. Two people. Congratulations. This show has as many hosts as Penn State had Sinez. So congratulations to us for matching them in their volume.

Starting point is 00:28:19 Give yourself a hand, I know. But in all seriousness, this is just one of those things that's like, Man, this is tough. Yeah, no, no doubt. And that's the thing that I hate most about bowl season are the opt-outs. Like, I can't. It's just, unfortunately, it's the world we live in because I also can't. I don't want to, like, tell these young men if they're about to go to the NFL, like,

Starting point is 00:28:40 hey, you have to play in the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl. Like, it feels weird to say that, but I do miss the days when everybody would suit up. And you were, you were getting a version of what a team looked like in the regular season. You rarely get that these days outside of the game. the CFP. Yeah, and you know, I understand that. And I'm not going to sit here and say, I'm not going to sit here and say that that's not unfortunate to see.

Starting point is 00:29:04 I'm not going to sit here and say, oh, yeah, we, we all desire bowl games where we're basically dragging out a skeleton crew of guys. Nobody wants that. Nobody wants that. But it's the reality of where we are. And let's be honest, down. You and our football sickos. They could put out eight-year-old pee-wee league teams.

Starting point is 00:29:22 They could put out the Happy Valley Baby Lions. and the Clemson, South Carolina, Mighty Trojans. And we'd be sitting here saying, oh, look at them. Look at these little stars of the future. These little eight-year-olds. Half of them will never play football beyond middle school, but we enjoy it anyway because it's football on the screen, right? And that's the same thing applies to these bowl games.

Starting point is 00:29:45 I just want to see teams playing their hearts out. That's why I really don't mind the opt-outs, because even with, you know, what we saw, perfect example, what we saw from Miami and Rutgers in that bowl game last year. That to me, or not last year, that was two years ago, wasn't it? It's two years ago. Yeah, two years ago was Rutgers. Yeah, last year, Miami played Iowa State.

Starting point is 00:30:06 Right, and that was Cam Ward played like, what, a quarter of a half or something, and it was done for a lot. It was good to see because, Donnell, you wouldn't question Miami's effort in that game, despite them losing. That was not a game where you would say Miami's effort was not there. They played their hard out. records played their heart out. It was not the best of football, right?
