Lose to Bama by 17 or under and I'll be satisfied

You do realize that's been the case in every conference this year? There's very little difference in Miami and a team like Georgia for example. Georgia beat up on the bad SEC teams while getting stomped out by the 2 good teams they faced. If you're playing strictly conference games then you'll be playing quite a few bad teams
So funny you say this but think the BIG is weak.

Yes there is though

Georgia would kill Miami.

The difference is that the middle of the SEC is on par with the Miami’s and the UNC’s.

Being bad in the ACC and being bad in the SEC do not equate. Because in the SEC the middle of the pack are all good teams that would be near the top of other power conferences.
IMO I agree, but idea you write this as though you are sure is where I disagree. Are you thinking the SEC has the edge because they are better at playing each other than the ACC?

There's literally nothing to prove what you're saying is true this season so we need to stop the assumptions. I have nothing that tell me LSU would have been some powerhouse in the ACC or BIG....same goes for Auburn who needed the refs assistance to beat Arkansas and Ole Miss. I'll give you Georgia being good in other conferences but thats about it. The teams that finished below Georgia in the conference wouldn't do anything in the other power 5 conferences
says the guy who makes assumptions on other teams/conferences as though they are fact. at least try to be consistent.

Rooting for Ohio State. I'm about sick of Clemson
Obviously I am as an alum, but if I had no skin in the game how could you not? Dabo is just an ass. I could see saying his own team deserved to get in over OSU before yesterday's game, but still coming at OSU for only playing 6? Like it was their fault?

The book is out on Fields now though. Throw some zones etc at him. He has to figure those out at the next level.
Needs to trust his WRs more and give them a chance to make a play as opposed to holding the ball.

History. Eye test.

The ACC has been weak for a long time. The SEC has been the best/deepest conference for a long time.

This year they beat up on each other without any break.
One could argue going all the way back to.....well....last year.....the SEC was not the best/deepest. Just sayin'.

That, and they have better players because the SEC is known as the football conference and they get better recruits.

I have been watching ACC football for 25 years. And whenever I watch a game that doesn’t include the big dogs (like Clemson) it looks like a high school game compared to what I see going on in the SEC.

I don't doubt the ACC sans Clemson has been awful. But this year ND is included and SEC has 1 elite team and 1-2 who are good or very good it seems. Rest nothing special to awful. ACC might have 2 elite teams and the rest pretty bad

But that is my point.

They obviously aren’t elite.

Who, the ACC? ND? But as a conference there is no factual basis to think SEC is so much better than ACC (with ND). A lot of meh (or worse) for both.

Would also say SEC has not been all that the last few years. Other than LSU for their 1 season it's Bama and?

Notre Dame is not an elite team.

And the ACC is not an elite conference.

Give me somebody else from another league over 2 ACC teams for sure. If the SEC a is down, fine. Don’t take AM either. Give Cincy a shot.

Whoever is there will likely got smashed by Alabama anyway.
