You just don't understand. Those 10 SEC teams with 0.500

or better records survive TITANTIC struggles in SEC conference games each week.
The ACC teams with 0.500 or above records just waltz through the lilypads, beating the other weak as pond water teams in the ACC conference.
This pretty much came off an ESECPN memo, so it must be true.

Good try but the ACC is crap in football.
You can make numbers look how you want. We have two teams in the ACC that might, might would be middle of the pack teams (NC State and Pitt) in the SEC, b12 and B1G. Outside those 2, the other teams, including us, would be in the lower tier. We might could hang in the middle with our D but I suspect if we played the coots schedule, we'd have the same record. That's a pathetic low bar.

Unfortunately the ACC is bad. Out of conference play tells the story. I would say Clemson, Pitt, NC State are decent. Wake Forest might be a step above these teams, time will tell.

Both conferences have more parity this year.
Let’s match perceived top 4 acc with sec, everything else is a crap shoot:
Wake v Georgia
NC State v Bama
Pitt v ATM
Clemson vs Auburn
Georgia beats Wake but closer than the experts think. Since we played UGA within one score they have not played an opponent that has come within 14 points.
We would assume Bama steamrolls NC State. I just don’t see it. Bama rushed for 6 yards vs last place LSU Saturday escaping with a 6 point win. NC State would go toe to toe but NC State would crap the bed late.
Pitt and ATM I like Pitt, would be a great game. Many people don’t realize Pitt already defeated a Tennessee team on the road who is battling for second place in the SEC east.
Clemson v Auburn I think we would win. Of course could go either way. Fully healthy I think we would be slight favorites. I know I know but definitely we would be up to the challenge. They may be a bowl opponent down the road.
I’d say 2-2, in a year where it looks like UGA and everyone else…a down Clemson gave the best SEC team the best game (probably all year). I don’t see Bama pulling an upset vs UGA with their O-Line issues. This is not the same old Bama team.
Overall is the sec better? Yes, but it’s not as wide or a margin as people want to believe. The SEC is you look at stadiums/coaches contracts etc SHOULD be head and shoulders better, but just doesn’t always happen no matter what else son tells you. And we are not the worst power 5 year in and year out. More like middle of the pack.
It was 2016 where the acc was head and shoulders better than every other conference. National title, Heisman, all major awards and winning record vs SEC. But most don’t realize it.
