We didn't outcoach those teams. Oklahoma went 7-5 I believe and didn't have their star QB. GT was way less talented. I may give you VT 05 because that was a defensive masterpiece.
GT went 10-2 during the regular season and won the conference. Where did you get they were "way less talented"? VT 08 was conference champions in 08 and orange bowl champions that same year. Oky was without Sam Bradford but they had everyone on defense and Landry at qb who is the all time td leader in OK history. Those teams in 08 and 09 get a lot more credit than you give them. The ACC wasn't always this putrid. VT and GT back then was better than anything in the coastal that we see now.
The coastal was actually very solid, just not elite for a few years there. GT and VT were looking good regularly. UNC was looking like they were going to be become something under Butch. Then there was us, who if we ever met our potential could have made 4 solid teams in the Coastal alone with FSU and Clemson in the Atlantic. Even BC was pretty respectable.
