The ACC Thread

[BoiseMike19]

ACC suffers from the same perception/reality as the MWC has the last several years. 2 really good teams and a gap wider than the Grand Canyon from the rest.

I disagree. What makes the ACC more competitive than any other conference is its across the board mediocrity.

The ACC sends more players into the NFL than all but the SEC. It isn't the quality of players. It is the very low quality coaching. ACC schools do not want to spend the millions required to get the best coaches in the land.

James Garner likes the ACC.

No, he was right the first time. The entire conference is marred in mediocrity.

Your opinion is duly noted, no matter how foolish.

How is it foolish when I'm right?

I meant what I said. This is not to say there aren't good football players and teams in the ACC. But we don't have a Bama or a OSU... The whole conference sans 1 or 2 teams are pretty equal. Unlike the SEC, PAC and B1G that have one real good team and maybe a couple good teams and the rest are average or worse. The ACC has more parity than other conferences.

That is true, the ACC is fully of parity. You've had 4 different champs in the last 4 years.

 

[uncfan103]

No we did, and then self imposed.

If UNC, GT, and Miami were all eligible you wouldn't have been playing in the ACCCG

 

[uncfan103]

Also FWIW, IMO the ACC is weak and I'm not expecting a great season from unc this year.

 

[Uman5]

Ah but Heels were not. We self imposed and could have played in it if we chose to.

 

[uncfan103]

So? Is there really a difference? Neither team could play once Miami self imposed. And, we still had the tiebreaker. Had we self imposed, which we could've, when we had Withers we would've been in the ACCCG, but we chose not too

That's better than the B1G. Your league sucks in my opinion.

 

[Sox33OSU]

That's better than the B1G. Your league sucks in my opinion.

You can't apply a label of it being better or worse, there's no logic to that. You really are a child when it comes to explaining your opinions. I mean, any way you slice it, it's an undeniable fact that the B1G is better than the ACC, but I'm sure you'll say all the facts that support me saying that are just "my opinion", right?

Thats alot of could haves and would haves. The fact is you didn't self impose and were forced into suspension. So , at no time last season were you eligible for the ACCCG. Tie breaker is moot.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

...still haven't had to self impose, vacate or sit out of anything

What's your point? You chose to self impose and still claim a title that you wouldn't have had had all the teams been eligible.

When have I said we claimed the title? We did not because we self imposed, not mandated.

To be clear, we did not win the ACC Coastal.

Just jinxed yourself ;-)
