15-3 OOC

... is the ACC's current record. Losses to Kansas State, Stanford, and Tennessee.

Do you really want to come out with a statement like this? Now go look at the wins, I bet there are at least 6 FCS wins.

Absolutely, given the past performances of the '08, '09, '10, and '11 seasons which saw losses to said FCS teams. We're certainly better than the B10, B12, and at worst even with the PAC12 right now.

Nothing wrong with a statement like this. 3 losses are to good, ranked opponents, and at this point in the year, every conference has FCS wins. The ACC happens to not have any very bad losses, yet

 

[Ballboy534]

Remind me again which FBS powerhouses the SEC has demolished thus far?

record-wise we're sitting better than tSEC as well! Not to mention the fact that ACC teams havent lost to any scrub conferences like the Sun Belt

[HoHumHokie]

We'll know more about the ACC by seasons end......still have several key OOC games:
VT-Cincy, UNC-Louisville, FSU-USF, UVA-TCU, BC-NW, GT-BYU, Miami-ND, GT-UGA, Clemson-S.Carolina, FSU-UF, Wake-Vandy. Maryland got by Temple, but they should easily be the ACC's worst team.

I know, but many of them UMass, Troy, NT, etc. may as well be lumped into the same group

ACC is the King of scheduling FCS schools. Hell your top contender scheduled TWO. So how the hell are you going to try to talk smack about easy scheduling? No one does it like the ACC and its proven. The ACC has more FCS games and they have TWO LESS TEAMS than the SEC.... Congrats on 53 % of your wins being over FCS schools.

Because WVU dropped out of their game 2 weeks before schedules were supposed to come out.

The ACC typically has much better OOC scheduling than the SEC and most of the time, the ACC is the conference providing the SEC with their bigger OOC games. So don't get butthurt, you should appreciate the ACC.

Here is the SEC OOC schedule, and asside from Michigan, there really isn't a single game of note that's not an ACC school

The SEC, king of the wuss schedule. The SEC schedules are an annual embarrassment, and 2012 is no different. An occasional marquee matchup, mixed in with a Division I-AA opponent or one of the litany of southern mid-majors trying to cash a big paycheck. Western Kentucky, Florida Atlantic, Louisiana-Monroe, Louisiana-Lafayette, Tulane, Troy, South Alabama, Middle Tennessee, Alabama-Birmingham, Louisiana Tech.
The SEC ought to be ashamed.

 

[theboardref]

I do appreciate when I see Tech get knocked off by James Madison's. So for that, continue to schedule FCS teams.

3 losses is better than 2 losses? Sheesh.

 

[Camfantasy]

LOL at a LSU fan making fun of someones OOC schedule with North Texas, Washington, Idaho, and Towson on the their schedule.

Wasn't one of our top teams getting pummeled by an also-ran, sir.

Well, WVU did back out of their contractual agreement with FSU which left them the option of Savannah State or 11 games. I think the bolded has been disproven several times in this thread, but if you want to bury your head in the sand, so be it.
