Obviously if Clemson wins the title this post will look a little dumb (though still hold a lot of truth), but this bowl season has shown just how mediocre the ACC is right now.

To start off the second best team in the conference, Florida St., is currently getting absolutely dismantled by the mighty Houston Cougars in the Peach Bowl. I know I know Houston actually is pretty good, but they're nothing special having had to squeak out wins against Cincy and Memphis with a loss thrown in against UConn, and the 9th ranked Seminoles have just looked pathetic.

The ACC's next best team, North Carolina (who went a perfect 8-0 in conference play), lost by double-digits to a good, not great Baylor team.

Louisville had the one nice bowl win for the conference, a 6-point win over Texas A&M. Nothing crazy but at least it's something.

Going down the line you've got Pitt who lost by 16 to Navy and Miami who lost to Washington St., a team we could've even beaten. Sad.

Duke and Va Tech managed nail-biting, three-point victories over Indiana and Tulsa, respectively, but really who cares?

And for those who still the ACC is the best basketball conference (I doubt anyone still thinks that but they used to be dominant), they've only got 2 teams, UVA and UNC, in the top 12. Not so dominant if you ask me.
 
Even if Clemson wins that wouldn't change how poorly most of the rest of the conference has done in bowl season. It's a conference full of mediocrities.

Dismantled is a little strong, don't you think? Why is there always such a rush to post these threads? Now Ward is possibly out of the game, and you could have FSU and Clemson winning to push the ACC to 5-4 in bowls (6-4 if you count the title game if Clemson wins today), and the conference could have two top ten teams in the final rankings.

A&M was down to a red shirt sophomore walk on QB for the game. He earned a scholarship this year as A & M was the only school that told him to come on down. Evidently A & M has some serious problems with either their HC, OC, and / or QB coach.

I also think Ole Miss is going to have problems this weekend. And that Georgia will lose decisively.

Enjoy the games!

Yeah, that was Jimbo disguised as McGuire throwing dimes to the guys on the other team

Who was the coach that left the QB with a bad foot in the game? He had to have known he wasn't going to have the same zip and distance on his throws.

His backup, #16, sucked. I've seen better middle school QB's. #10 with a bad foot was far better than his healthy backup.
 
Clemson looking good so far...but then again i wasn't sold on OU. I think alabama takes it this year....MSU and tOSU would have romped Clemson and OU IMO, but Bama will beat MSU and then roll in the title game.
 
UNC, the second best team in this conference, got absolutely lambasted. The third best team, FSU, was easily handled by a non power 5 team.

At some point, the powers that be need to look at the acc as a conference that is other than. Clearly the B1G/Sec are far above this level across the board.

Are you high or in denial? What part of FSU and their NJ QB did you not observe? Every kid on that team is going to play on Sunday's...except the QB

Whatever team loses automatically means someone on this board starting a thread that the conference sucks, is overrated, has poor coaching....

Think of this......the team you cheer for every Sunday is littered with ACC kids....lol

But don't worry, when the ACC loses to the SEC next week you can come back and start the rhetoric.

#Clemson is the 2nd best team in the nation....say what ya want

What part of they got their ass kicked don't you understand? NFL? Huh? Who gives a sh*t. I don't. But since you bring up, let's see the data please. Thanks.

Ya know who got their ass kicked? The FSU QB. Lol

Oh, why don't you just say Dalvin Cook sucks too...lol

Maybe you didn't see what he did at Don Bosco either...lol

Cheers
 
He said the conference. Still have a losing bowl record. It's weak across the board.
 
NC was maybe the 2nd best team and gave up 600 yards rushing. Clemson is good but the conference is not that goo.
 
Clemson looked much better than I expected.

Here's hoping MSU can upset bama....

I agree.

I also know the Pro Bowl roster every year is loaded with ACC kids

you are too hung up on what doesn't matter. It's about winning, not how many people you get drafted. And the acc doesn't even come in first there either.
 
FSU QB really made a lot of bad decisions with the football. Injury aside, the one pick where his RB picked up the blitz, leaving the LB free to drop into double coverage was just awful. Jimbo asked him after one pick: what are you doing? Some of it could've been good defensive calls, maybe he was not coached up enough, whatever. Houston looked very well coached.

What will the spin be on this board if Clemson does next week what they did tonight? I hope the Spartans win it all but would root for Clemson over Alabama.
 
Even with Flood as coach if we were in the ACC we would be playing in the championship semis tonight. The ACC sucks, every other school in the country sucks, the only school that is great is Rutgers, period.
 
They're so bad they've had a rep in the "Final 4" games three years straight now and the NC game two of three. True, there's a big drop off after Clemson, FSU and NC but there's also a big drop off in the Big Ten after you get past OSU, MSU, UM and Wisconsin. Big Ten depth is better but not as much as some make it out to be.
