ACC/SEC misc

No major point here, just found this interesting.

SEC to make decision...

"I don't think it is a wise move for the ACC to line up against the SEC and play it like the ACC-B1G Challenge. Clemson has a deep losing streak to the Chickens. GT has a VERY deep losing streak to the leg humpers. Wake has a deep losing streak to Vandy. GT lost to Ole Miss in the bowl. The ACC is 1-5 in the CFA Kickoff Classic, with Clemson/NCST/VT/UNC all racking up loses. The sole win was #14 Clemson, by 7, over unranked Auburn who went on to finish the season 3-9. The Duke-Alabama series was a laughing stock that saw 20,000 Alabama fans turn Durham into a home game.












The sole exception is FSU over Florida. And Louisville over the worst team in the SEC (for some time now) in Kentucky.

If you're going to schedule the SEC, for heavens sake pick on the soft middle. GT won 2 of 2 from Auburn under Gailey. GT won 2 of 2 from Vandy under Gailey. GT won 2 of 2 from Mississippi State under PJ. And Ole Miss panicked after '09 and delayed the series by nearly a decade. Even Wake took 2 of 2 from Ole Miss and a bunch from Vandy before James Franklin showed up.

Since expansion the ACC is 30-54 against the SEC. (6 wins by FSU, 5 wins by GT, 10 wins by Clemson).

All teams with in-state rivals have losing records against those rivals since expansion. (Didn't check Louisville) GT's record is bad enough to make you wonder why they should even bother with the series any more. There is a similar losing record in bowl games despite the ACC having a higher finishing team matched up against a lower finishing SEC team in the bowls they face each other (Music City, Chic-Fil-A) and the SEC having everybody slide up a spot as they have a BCS at-large every year and the ACC has only had an at-large the last 2/3 years.

How many times do you guys want to line up and lose against an opponent who has WAY more money to spend than you every year, gives zero f***s about recruiting rules, is willing to accept NCAA minimums for admissions, and is willing to then find worthless majors for those players to hide in for their entire academic "career"? For heavens sake FSU's DC off a national championship team went LATERALLY to UGAg because they threw money at him until he said yes. Let me say that again. FSU's DC could be persuaded to move from a national championship team, head and shoulders better than the rest of the ACC, to the SAME position ... at maybe the 5th/6th/7th best team in the SEC.

Folks the table is simply FAR too tilted to bother trying. Haven't you had enough futility, ESPN fondling, and SEC chants from Wal-Mart retards? We can re-evaluate this if the ACC network becomes a cash cow that levels the playing field. But right now ... how about we as a conference stop scheduling the top half of the SEC. Strength of schedule really doesn't matter even with a playoff. The SEC and various other programs (Kansas State) have made a killing off cupcakes, and nobody pays enough attention to call them on it."
