It's absolutely asinine that less than 500 people can't be in an 80,000 person stadium.

Not a chance on hell

[Mr Janny]

All bluster. Not a chance in hell they would turn down a playoff berth for this reason. Weak bluff is weak.

 

[jdoggivjc]

All that said...

 

[ianoconnor]

They should drop a spot in the rankings for even suggesting this.

He's just trying to get sent to the Sugar Bowl instead of the Rose Bowl for their playoff game.

Rather than being a blowhard, they cold just lose to Clemson, fall to the 4th seed and play Bama in the first round in the Sugar Bowl.

 

[cyclone13]

Will not happen. The CFP Committee should dare him to do so.

 

[Clark]

What a bunch of nonsense. Please, please turn down a playoff spot, I ******* dare you. You won't have a job the next day.

 

[CycloneErik]

Will not happen. The CFP Committee should dare him to do so.

If it helps, I dare him to do it.
In fact, I triple-dog dare him.

Yeah, ND isn't going to say no to that money.

All a bluff.

 

[Rural]

What would they be bluffing about?

Not wanting to travel to California?

 

[Clark]

Yeah, ND isn't going to say no to that money.

All a bluff.

Is it still a bluff when everyone knows you're full of ****? In order for it to be a bluff, don't you need to give people at least the appearance that you might actually do the thing you're bluffing about.

For example, if I tell you I have pocket aces, that could be a bluff. If you can see my cards and I tell you I have pocket aces, well then either I do have them or I'm just lying, there's not really a bluff there.

 

[Die4Cy]

Yeah, ND isn't going to say no to that money.

All a bluff.

I mean, it IS the ACC's money this year to divide 15 ways.

But yeah, he's bluffing, and probably has info to indicate they are discussing it already.

 

[JM4CY]

well that’s some

 

[Cyforce]

What a bunch of nonsense. Please, please turn down a playoff spot, I ******* dare you. You won't have a job the next day.

According to Campbell's contract this could lead to a horrific outcome.

 

[trevn]

Yeah...I just don't see that happening.

 

[CyCrazy]

Doubt it

As of today, California requires hotels/motels to only accept reservations for 14+ day stays. In addition, there are a bunch of other testing requirements. Not too conducive to traveling teams.
