Three reasons why leaving the ACC now is a bad idea

#1 Notre Dame
#5 Florida St
#9 Clemson
Yes, I know Notre Dame is only a partial, but they're committed to playing 5 ACC games a year, and after the BCS dies in 2014, the pressure builds to join a conference. Add to that UNC, Miami, Va Tech, Ga Tech, and NC State, which are all teams that should be in the top 25 most years, you're looking at a very solid football conference. I'd rather be at the top looking down than, say in South Carolina's shoes, in the middle looking up.

Michigan at 19. The B1G is not representing well on the field or in the polls. The AP is free to vote for whomever, yet they're still #4 on the outside looking in.

So do you honestly think the fact Ohio State is ineligible

for postseason has no bearing on this?
Let's be realistic. If an Urban Meyer coached team was undefeated and people were actually paying attention, then they would be set to play in the title game. I think that's realistic - you don't? Honestly?

I guess your reasoning is probably right... playing them once every 4 years will be a great help.
This is the worst argument for not leaving the ACC I have ever seen. You just used 5 other teams that are in the ACC to say that they are the reason we should stay when actually they are the reason we should leave. The best team out of that bunch is barely bowl eligible.

Seriously the only team of that group that should be top 25 most years is va tech. Those other teams need to worry about being .500 most years.

ND #1, FSU #10, Clemson #11 even though
Nov 19, 2012, 7:11 PM

FSU is #5 and #6 in polls and
Clemson is #9 in polls.
Both are 1 loss teams with 2 loss teams in front of them... and if both teams finish with 1 loss, the reward for Clemson is likely a date with the 5th place team from the SEC.
That is why we don't stay.
