The ACC can’t do anything to get respect
Nov 14, 2019, 7:48 PM
|
|
Wake Forest sits there at 7-2 with the same or better record than 11 of the 14 teams in the SEC and 13th in the nation in total offense but according to ESPN we are just playing another cupcake this week.
I’m so sick of the bias. I swear I’m going to punch a coot next time I see one.

I hate the bias as much as anyone but the ACC deserves no respect

The conference is awful. Years ago when Miami, VT and BC came in the league I thought, finally the ACC will get some respect in football. But until FSU, Miami and VT wake up and look like their former selves unfortunately the narrative is accurate.
Clemson stays Clemson, FSU get back to what they were a few years ago, Miami gets back to the early 2000’s, Louisville gets somewhere close to where they were with Lamar Jackson, UNC and NCSU show they have a pulse, GT stops being an afterthought... that is when the ACC dogging stops.

Makes you appreciate what Sabo and Saban have done even more. There are lots of former powers which are no longer that great. - Tennessee, Florida (better but still a fraud), Texas, USC, Michigan, LSU (before this year).
It’s tough to stay on top. Only Clemson, Bama, Ohio State and OU lately.

The ACC isn't "awful" and you know it.

The SEC has several good teams at the top, but the middle and especially the bottom of the SEC are poor. The ACC doesn't have any elite teams besides Clemson, but is very solid in the middle and not nearly as bad at the bottom as the SEC.
I agree that it will help the perception of the ACC in football once FSU, Miami, Virginia Tech, etc. improve, but to say that the conference is awful now is ridiculous. Don't listen to the ESPN "experts" so much.

Clemson is single-handedly keeping the conference afloat.

Miami went 11-1 and would have made the playoffs a couple years ago had they beaten Clemson in the ACC title game. Same thing with UNC not too long ago. Oh but they lost to South Carolina that year....Someone else lost to an even worse South Carolina team this year and they currently sit in the top 4.
Like I said, the ACC can do nothing to gain respect even in the eyes of ACC fans.

So you’re arguing that because Miami had ONE good season in the last 10, and UNC had ONE good season in the last 20, that somehow makes the ACC strong?
Good lord man you’re digging deep. Better luck next time Jhop.

Never said it was strong. Just that there is a clear double standard when it comes to recognizing accomplishments.
The ACC in the CFP era has been just as good if not better than the SEC on the field. That can not be debated.

Do you think we would be favored by 32 over Auburn or Florida?

Wake isn't that good. And their total offense is that high because they run like 90 plays a game. Their efficiency numbers aren't that high.

Thank you. Apology accepted. I avoid politics as much as possible. (Nevertheless) The whole Trump experamint should have ended the night he did this.

You can thank John Swofford for that. Inviting schools like Pitt and Syracuse to join the conference.
I’d love to be able to scrap these teams and pick up some others. Along with BC, and Wake Forest. We have absolutely no business being in a league with these teams.

If Pitt was in the SEC at 6-3 with a close loss to Penn St. on the road they'd be ranked in the top 25.

Are you watching the game right now? The stadium is empty, and they’re 6-3, with a chance to make the ACC championship.
That is embarrassing to the conference and is one of the reasons the ACC gets no respect.

In the SEC that’s called beating each other up.

Pre-Season Rankings!
Nov 14, 2019, 8:56 PM
|
|
Do away with pre-season rankings! People don't want to be wrong! When they make their picks - they can't smell their own stink! If they thought a team was great; they are reluctant to drop'em. SEC and Big 10 and sometimes the Big 12 Occasionally the Pac 12 take your top spots. Only an FSU or a Clemson will get ranked "if super talented"! Certain teams will be ranked just off reputation. Some others will possibly get ranked off returning experience.
B/C ye ole ACC does not get a bunch of teams ranked pre-season it looks worse when two ACC teams "that aren't ranked" are knocking each other off. Same thing happens in other conferences and those teams get to keep a high ranking: "because they playing a top team"! A cycle.
Two different member schools. 3 of the last 6 National Championships! Let'em keep their rankings - if every other year the ACC is bringing home the GOLD!
