There are times when some of the AAC and other non-P5 Conferences can exceed the expectations of some ACC schools like UL, but I still believe that overall the top ACC top schools year in and year out are better than the non-P5 teams.

AND lower level SEC and BIG schools, especially BIG schools. And, of course, we can throw Big 12 and PAC schools into the mix as well.

GO CARDS!!!

Most recruiting experts, and coaches, said he just wasn’t good enough out of HS.

In their defense, he totally developed at UC.

This why I like walk ons. Especially from winning programs.

Yeah he only had offers from Cincinnati EKU and some other small school.

When we first joined the ACC, I was sure we had a better path to the Playoff than in a non-P5 league. But after a few years and now after seeing Cincinnati break through, I'm not so sure anymore.

I believe we had a chance to play for the championship the year we lost to Rutgers.

I think because of who we are - we are never going to get a lion's share of 4 and 5 star players like a few other teams in the ACC. We'd have a better chance of reaching the playoff from outside the P5.

Now that the Committee has shown they're willing to allow a non-P5 into the Playoff, and especially when they expand the field to 8 teams in the coming years, I think being in the ACC becomes a negative for UofL making the playoff.

Your point was if we won every game we would be undefeated and we would win the ACC. Reality is 6-6, which means average team at best. Could have, would have, should have.

No, my point was that, had Petrino not quit on us, this was definitely a year that we could have won our first ACC championship.

I’m putting the blame for our current reality as a rebuilding 6-6 ACC program (instead of 2021 ACC champions), squarely where it belongs.

Not disagreeing with things either of you are saying.

But Petrino did quit. Why are we talking about things that didn't happen, shouldn't we discuss things that actually did happen?

Bobby didn't walk into the door with a clean slate. It's not like Bobby Petrino catfished Louisville. Who are we blaming again?

Maybe we should blame everybody.
