ESPN etc all concur that the ACC and Big East

rule college basketball and not many people argue that. They have a history of winning and head to head they beat most teams from other conferences.

Why do so many people look at SEC bias when facts are the SEC has had a good run for several years. I would argue in the 80s, what was to become the Big 12 ran the table with Oklahoma and Nebraska. For years in the 20s and 30s the independants ran things with Army, Notre Dame and Navy winning national championships. It is all cyclical...look at how bad Bama was just a few years ago. Facts are LSU was a door mat for years.

I would just think coming from a conference where Dickie V etc can't get enough Duke and UNC and rightly so, why so many Clemson fans get so mad when facts are facts, the SEC is a stellar division, right now. Even the lower level bowl games aren't evenly matched teams to make the game better.

Look at the Chick Fil A bowl. It takes the 2nd place ACC team and most years a 6th place SEC team and down the line bowl to bowl do the same with the matchups with other conferences. Even the Big 12 sends it's 2nd best team to the cotton to face the SEC 3rd or 4th best based on Capital 1 or Cotton choice

Any year an SEC team makes it to the championship the bowl breakdown follows.
2 go to the BCS #1 to championship game, #2 to Sugar
# 3 goes to Cotton, #4 to the Capital One, #5 to Outback, #6 to Chick Fil A, #7 to Gator. All these matchups are uneven for a reason, the nation wants good games and they get them for the most part.

Just wait a few years and the ACC could take off with Clemson, Fla St, Miami, Va tech, Notre Dame, etc becoming a powerhouse. Everything goes in cycles.
