How bad is the ACC?

BeastMode said:
3-9 against P4 out of conference opponents so far this year.

I don’t see the ACC getting two teams in the playoff. More pressure on Miami to win out because there is no room for error.

And of those 3 wins...

One was Miami over ND.
One was F$U over Alabama.

I guess we are gonna cash a big check this year.

I mean we Florida lose and UGA struggle to Austin Peay. Could be early season rust or some top teams not as good as their rankings suggests. Texas didn't look great either

The ACC is weird this year. The drop from the higher-level teams to the lower-level teams is insane, but I’d argue the better teams can play with anyone.

Miami
FSU
Clemson (yes, I saw yesterday…but I also saw them against LSU)
Pitt
Georgia Tech

These are all very good teams.

NC State
Virginia
Boston College
Duke
SMU
Louisville

These are all solid teams. Most of these teams will win 8 games this year.

The rest of the league is terrible. And that’s what gives the ACC a bad name. But I don’t think any conference has looked particularly good. The B1G especially has been terrible this year outside of Ohio State and Oregon. Took Illinois the entire game to pull away from Duke, for example. And they are supposed to be one of the best teams in that conference.

Stanford and Cal should go to the new pac 12 or big 12. I think our league is ok if us, Clemson and FSU are winning at least 10 games a year. Ga Tech is solid when healthy. SMU and L-Ville will always be able to be 8-9 win teams imo. If we were ever able to get ND, that would put us up with any conference. SEC is alot of hype though, aside from a couple teams, they are just like any conference. do people think Ga Tech or L-ville couldnt compete with the middle of their conference? come on.

VT will have a new coach.

I say the ACC is weak every chance I get and it's only getting weaker. It always has been.

It was a minor league operation the day we joined it and it's only gotten worse.

Can't wait for the Canes to GTFO

The problem is, in this era of CFB you are forced to cheer for teams in the ACC (minus FSU) because everything is perception. A weak ACC hurts your chances of securing an at large bid. A strong ACC does the opposite.

We can't be about "what's best for the ACC" in a collective sense, but then root against one of the top football brands in FSU.

You're either for the ACC in the entirety of its non-conference schedule or you're not. In which case if it's the latter, then it's perfectly fine to say "Go Canes and who cares about the rest of these ACC teams"

I used to despise the “conference lovers,” but we are caught between a rock and hard place right now. We need the ACC to hold their own.

You had it right the first time, mi amigo ;)

Just be patient. The ACC as we know it will be done after the 2026-27 or 2027-28 school year
 
Look at our schedule compared to North Carolina, this is their entire 2025 schedule

TCU
Charlotte
Richmond
UCF
Clemson
Cal
Virginia
Syracuse
Stanford
Wake Forest
Duke
NC State


What kind of BS is that
 
I never buy this cheering for conference bullsh!t. If we beat Syracuse last year we in the ACC title. We then beat Clemson we in the playoffs. It was laid out after already having one loss. SMU loss the title game and made the playoffs as well. If the ACC is bad, we need to put 50 on each of them. Who gives a hoot what WF or NC St does against Minnesota and Vanderbilt?

exactly our fans are now taking on sec fanatical measures.

i dont give a f*ck if Wake forest loses to Grand Canyon University.
 
It was the same story in the Big Least. But we do need to get into a P2 (the BiG!) due to the revenue share being larger.

I can’t see how the CFP committee leaves a top ranked Miami out if we win against ND, SMU, FSU, UF, USF. That is likely 4 ranked plus one SEC team.
