What is going on in the ACC?

Duke is 3-1? UNC is 1-4?



FSU can't keep an opponent under 40 points? And Va Tech is in a 3-way tie for...3rd place?


Not to mention the immense struggles with FCS schools. So what's the deal?

Re: What is going on in the ACC?

GA Tech is pretty good without a real defense. ACC has a lot of parity because they don't have any complete teams. Every team is missing a key component.

Lack of focus. Miami and VT should both only have 1-2 losses, but their lack of focus has them down. Hopefully it strikes GT and they lse and Miami can have a chance to win their first ACC title.

Re: What is going on in the ACC?

Worst coaching+most apathetic fanbases/athletic departments+second worst talent=ACC

The ACC was never good. 10 years ago, Florida State used to be good, but the rest of the league was never good. Once Florida State lost Richt, the league didn't have anyone to pick it up.

Virginia Tech got by being the best of the worst, but their non-conference resume speaks for itself. They're like the New Jersey Nets of the early 2000s.

Miami is the future, but the future certainly isn't bright.

I've been saying this for years. You guys need to start listening to me.

Re: What is going on in the ACC?

Florida State was the only good one in the past? Miami didn't have the best team in history in 2001 that no other CFB team has been better than, they also had 4 other championship teams that are around the top 25 for best CFB teams ever.

Get real Cebby, for once please.

How does that explain North Carolina though?


That's the one that baffles me the most.

Miami was in the Big East back then, though........

They actually haven't done a whole lot since linking up with the ACC.

That might be relevant if they were in the ACC back then.

Re: What is going on in the ACC?

I can't speak for all the teams, but MD sucks because Fridge's recruiting left a huge hole this year and there are freshmen/sophomores playing everywhere. And these aren't 5-stars. They're 3-stars, a couple 4-stars. And the upper classmen are either hurt or mediocre (Scott is hurt, Turner is average).

Except Miami played in the Big East back then.

The problem with the ACC is that it's primarily a basketball conference. It's been pretty mediocre ever since Florida State came back down to earth.
