Can we talk about the ACC only having 1 ranked team

[The Authority]

Another time - keep posting? Look more pathetic?

At least you are not bothered over the fact that the ACC has only 1 ranked team in the AP.

Honestly, if VT is not in the Top 25 I personally could give a rip. Right now we have a QB that appears to be bi-polar, our O-Line can't even bust a grape and our Defensive Coordinator (like you) is stuck in Week 2 thinking every single QB we play is like Barrett so he blitzes the hell out of teams for 4 quarters.

Rankings right now:
FSU will most likely go to a play-off spot IMO. Do I think this means the BIG is better than the ACC? Well hell it's only Week 5. We still have OOC matchups and bowl season to go until we really know which conference is more dominant.

Future:
Clemson will eventually be ranked as they are a Top 25 team. Puke will most likely be ranked. So I think by the first week in Dec the ACC will have about 4 ranked teams. I have no idea about the BIG. If your panties are all in a bind now there is still a lot of football to be played. So go get some lotion and relax and stop worrying.

Why would my shorts "be in a bind" over the ACC only having one ranked team in the AP?

Try making sense.

I see The Authority is totally kicking ass again

Great to hear my friend. A sub-part VT beat a sub-par OSU. Any other brain busters? Maybe you should be sending that to your boy - Authority. He seems to be living in Week 2 still...

Hell, should we "bump" the week 2 OSU-VT Game Thread while we are at it?

We've explained our side of it. The season is still young.. come back in a couple of months and we'll talk who's overrated and who's not. Besides, VT has good athletes. It's not a stretch to believe that if your QB plays out of his mind that day that they can beat just about anyone.

Just read where the ACC only has two teams in the top 35.

All other P5 conferences have at least 5.

That was obviously false information.

FSU - #1
Clemson - #28
Georgia Tech - #31
Louisville - #35

According to the AP Poll

According to the Coaches Poll:

FSU - #2
Clemson - #28
Georgia Tech - #31
Louisville - #33
Duke - #34
North Carolina State - #35

Looks like they were referencing the Power Index.

Is this power index the end all be all? That same power index has the ACC as the 4th best conference.

No. Just telling you what they said. No need to get rustled because The ACC is currently "By Far" the worst conference.

If doesn't matter to me. I guess congrats?

 

[The Authority]

No need to congratulate me for you over reacting earlier in the year.

Go back and look at that same article from 2 weeks ago. It was true. However the B1G has closed the gap and maybe surpassed the ACC altogether. I just reacted to what happened.

The "By Far" tag was an over reaction.

The "By Far" tag was an over reaction.

Not at all. The B1G wad almost closer to the 6th best conference than the 4th using that same index. Like I said they closed the gap and the ACC made it rather easy by shitting the bed the last 2 weeks.

Not really. If you truly analyzed what was going on instead of overreacting you could have seen how it was going to go.

I analyzed the fact that the B1G was 1-10 vs the other P5 conferences including 3 MAC losses. Overall the B1G is still 5-12 vs other P5 schools. That 1-10 was by far the worst record at the time.

Thats my point. You just looked at that one record and didn't analyze the match ups and the teams.

It's not like it was Purdue and Illinois going up against Oregon and FSU. There were many favorable match ups for the B1G:

Wisconsin vs. LSU
California @ Northwestern
Virginia Tech @ Ohio State
WVU @ MD
Iowa State @ Iowa
Utah @ Michigan

That doesn't even include the games the B1G won with favorable match ups.
