If the Big 10 is "weak" then what is the ACC?

[osubuckeye89]

All ive heard all weekend from the all mighty espin is how strong the ACC is and how weak the Big 10 is.......

as of today the big 10 has 4 top 25 teams and the ACC has 3

discuss....

I am not believing anybody at ESPN called the ACC strong this weekend outside of FSU and Clemson

Bob Griese rambled quite a bit durin the ohio state illinois game about how the big 10 doesnt stack up with the acc

What was his argument? How did he make his case? That is interesting a Big Ten guy like Griese thinks the ACC is much superior

Probably meant "at the top". I don't disagree with that assessment.

FSU, Clemson >>>> Ohio St, Michigan St, Wisconsin

VT has lost 3 of their last 4

Yeah, Griese's always been a Big 10 homer.

Apparently he turned "Troll" too.

You will be hard pressed to hear Griese (or anyone at espin except Dr Lou) say anything positive about ohio state

Yep, I've been reading some of the Fire Beamer threads on their forums. They blame him for still running a 90s offense, still playing Logan Thomas at QB, etc.

But, remember VT F'd up Bama pretty good opening game. Not sure if that was just Saban not having his team ready to play or what

Bama played awful that game and still won by 25.....I wouldnt call that impressive for VT

How is 2 good teams better than 3?

VT outgained Bama 212 yds to 206

the VT D held Bama to 206 yds and 3.32 yds per play

since 2008 when Bama lost to Utah in the Sugar, nobody has held Bama to less yds or less yards per play

that is impressive

Probably because those two are in the top 10 while 1 of the 3 is top 10 and the other two are 13 and 16.


Also to the OP way to use one of the polls that list 4 BIG teams. The other has 3 for each.

Why does it bother people so much what the tv talking heads THINK SUBJECTIVELY about a conference? Which conference is better is usually dealt with come bowl time.

Meh. Don't really care who the tallest midget is.

They LOST by 25, in the end the scoreboard is all that matters

they lost at home this week to a lack luster maryland team and lost to a mediocre BC team 2 weeks ago

sorry but Va Tech is average at best

Their D is elite. Offense and special teams not so much.

Their D does not compensate enough for how bad the other 2 aspects are
