Think there is an argument that the conference is better this year but it’s still well below the BIG and SEC overall. Let’s see what happens next year.

Next stop … FIRST TAKE with Stephen a Smith!!!

Keep doing great work D$

 

[Colombie]

There's good coaching. In many ways better than SEC. I think that is the key.

 

[PimpCane]

Definitely better than the general consensus. Good coaching and good quarterback play.

 

[hurricaneman]

I think the middle of these conferences are all the same except the ACC has better coaching. The top is where the difference is.

 

[TriStarCane]

ACC has good QB play even for mid teams

 

[johnnytsunami01]

The ACC is trash, stop it. It's Miami that is good, F the ACC and all conferences.

 

[Headhunter]

DMoney - I'm a somewhat recent UM fan - an avid fan since 1973 - and you're on to something, for certain.

I recall when Schnellenberger got here, we weren't part of any conference - and suddenly we went all over the US playing different teams - who played different types of football.

We lost a lot - but we learned a lot.

Year after year - and by the time 1983 came around - we got a chance to play the mighty Nebraska - touted as so big, so powerful, and so strong.

We won. Barely, but we won - with a redshirt Freshman QB.

We see all kinds of teams in the ACC - that play all kinds of football, and it was only "recently" that GT was weaned off the Wishbone! That was an annual Circus!

So yeah! The ACC is diverse - and with NIL - more emphasis on football, and not entirely concentrated on basketball.

More mavericks - fewer plow horses.

The ACC gets slammed because it’s made up mostly of smaller private schools instead of large public schools like the Big 10 and SEC. But why should that impact the team on the field? It certainly didn’t when we played Texas A&M?

 

[mirvin88]

I’m not going to say it’s a top two conference but it’s not the dog water conference narrative that MSM pushes.

The ACC has very good coaching and QB play imo. The top to bottom talent isn’t there though, but as a result we see a lot of unique game plans.

 

[E1k]

Been saying it all year, having to prepare for many different styles of offenses & defenses in your conference is a very underrated task. It can nullify the talent gap you might have

That with our ooc schedule this year just look how many different styles of teams we played. These aren’t professional players, its hard to get them ready to play week to week while having to adjust

 

[supersaiyanshel]

The ACC is a competitive conference with the most untapped potential ($$$) of any of the majors.

The gap between the conferences used to be a gulf. That abyss has pretty much been eliminated. There's space, but its reachable.

yeah; 10 outta the top 25 NFL leaders in passing yards this season are from ACC schools

Wait til Ashton Daniels takes this conference by storm!

The ACC is clowned and will continue to be clowned because our schools lose games they should win out of conference in the regular season.

If SMU and Duke had won their OOC games the ACC would be viewed much, much differently this year.

SMU: TCU & Baylor
Duke: (ACC champ) loses to 3 out of conference loses!
