If 4 SEC teams had 1 loss or less then it would be made up of those 4 SEC teams. Every team in the ACC is in a Boise St type situation where blowing out everyone still might not be enough

you and fsu are in,dont listen to the misdirection and the the reason to leave is because the acc is perceived as weak and you might not get into the play-offs unless the sec,pac and BIG's have a down year with a weak champ

If that's the case, there are a lot of players that we will lose (both current and future/currently committed recruits), and we will have a coach that will apparently be pissed off that we've moved. Not a great PR move...

... oh for the love...

dabo will be just fine(unless wvu hangs 70 on him again)....and if recruits want to play the acc schedule instead of the possible new big 12 with texas,ou,fsu,wvu,tcu,nd(??) then i probably wouldnt want those recruits

This is what i like to hear. ACC is shit.

If we move to the Big XII and have to face Texas and OU every year (or every other), would it really be to our advantage?

wouldnt that be the point of moving? I mean I would love for VT to jump into another conference and begin playing better comp ASAP. Better yet i would love for other members of our current conference to start/continue to step their game up so that we can be considered in that top 4 more often than not.

Yes.

Either way. The ACC would be fine if VT, FSU, Clemson, and (Miami, UNC, or NC State) would start winning their out of conference schedules and not dropping their easy ACC games. If you're FSU, you look stupid losing to UVa, and if you're VT, you need to not get blown out by Clemson. Twice.

The ACC just needs its dominant teams to be more, ummm, dominant.

 

[MattB4VT]

You guys keep saying oh the ACC just needs to win more....

Much easier said than done. Afhanistan just needs a few people to be a little nicer, and this war will be over!

And we'd still be stuck with shit for money even with winning more games.

 

[VTscores]

Not really. Win more (big) games, more people watch.

Lose all your games, people stop watching and going (See Maryland; Redskins)

Afghanistan isn't even that bad if you get out of the war areas. Kazakhstan really sucks though.

I would go to Afghanistan for a year before I went to some places in Central America.

 

[MattB4VT]

I would go anywhere in the world if it meant getting out of this train wreck conference we are caught up in.

Well, I know one career field you aren't in. I'll give you credit for knowing the war isn't over yet, which places you higher than the average voter.

Central America? Try Mexican border towns owned by Sinaloa. El Chapo is a VERY welcoming host.

And back on topic, if FSU, Clemson or VT played for a title this year, the whole conversation would change.

I'm thinking bama, lsu, Florida, and many others will be knocking on the ACCs door because of all the benefits the ACC has over the SEC.

lol me thinks Matt is gonna break his computer or a TV when it's announced that VT is stayin in the ACC

 

[MattB4VT]

Still time, but likely to be next summer!!!

 

[MattB4VT]

If we stay, then lee corso may have been wrong after all.... God is NOT a Hokie. otherwise, we wouldn't be punished by being stuck in this shitbox. He has his own conference already. Ive been praying that we become a part of it, for the immense improvement of our athletic and academic programs. #GodsConference

 

[ckhokie]

When God was putting together a conference, I'm sure he said, 'Hey, you know who we need? Vanderbilt, Kentucky, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Missouri, Arkansas (up to 2 years ago), South Carolina, and Tennessee. That'll show em"
