How is the PAC-12 clearly better than the ACC


Oct 18, 2013, 2:27 PM

Oregon vs FSU Stanford vs Clemson UCLA vs Miami Washington vs VT

Seems pretty close to me.

I think your right about the top half of the conferences but the bottom half is pretty bad in the ACC. Wake, UNC, and UVA are really bad. They have Cal and Colorado but the rest is decent.

I think Oregon would smash FSU, especially if it was Autzen, but the others all look pretty darn close.

You know each conference has more than four teams, right?***


Oct 18, 2013, 2:36 PM

Then that argument should apply to the SEC, too***

Obviously***

Oregon state lost to a FCS team


Oct 18, 2013, 2:39 PM

Wassu beat USC at USC. Utah looks like the spunky BC type team. The bottom of every conference has the really bad and the just average. You judge conferences on their strength not really their weakness.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

PAC-12 is 29-5 in non-conference games...


Oct 18, 2013, 2:42 PM

Best win percentage in the nation. They are 21-4 against FBS teams. The ACC is 33-10 in non-conference games (21-10 vs. FBS teams), 5th in the nation.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

To me it doesn't matter. The point is that the ACC competes.


Oct 18, 2013, 2:42 PM

I don't care if some "expert" calculates the PAC12 at a 0.796853 and the ACC at a 0.774392. For the last couple of years the ACC has been obviously down. Now that's not the case. And that's a good thing.

Yes, the ACC is having an excellent year, IMO.


Oct 18, 2013, 2:43 PM

A solid 3rd behind the SEC and PAC-12 is a big improvement.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

But most of those OOC games are mismatches


Oct 18, 2013, 2:46 PM

The Marquee OOC wins of this season belong to the ACC. If this stat tells the whole tale then why isn't the PAC-12 better than the SEC.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

You have to balance the wins and the schedule...


Oct 18, 2013, 2:49 PM

I have the PAC-12's OOC schedule as 5th-toughest, and the ACC's as 2nd-toughest. I have the SEC 3rd-toughest.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Mar-quee****


Oct 18, 2013, 2:47 PM



flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

The PAC 12 dosent schedule cream puffs


Oct 18, 2013, 2:52 PM

In OOC either. They only play 3 non conference game and most of then schedule 1 or even 2 other major conference teams, usually the big 10

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

PAC-12 is 2-0 head-to-head vs. ACC...


Oct 18, 2013, 2:54 PM

3-2 against the Big Ten, and 1-1 against the SEC.

Others:

1-0 vs. C-USA
4-1 vs. independents
10-0 vs. Mountain West

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I agree the ACC is not strong top to bottom


Oct 18, 2013, 2:54 PM

But I don't think it is clearly much different from PAC-12 and the bottom half of the SEC. The problem comes when UGA has injuries needs a touchback in overtime on the road to beat a Tennessee team that was fired up. No body thinks anything of it even calling it a good win for Georgia. Then Miami goes to chapel hill on a Thursday has injuries to star players wins in regulation against a desperate UNC team. Then the pundits says this shows the weakness of the ACC. I don't get it.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

When I think of conferences, I think of all the conference.


Oct 18, 2013, 2:56 PM

Now, if you frame it, "Which conference has the best top five?" then you have a different argument.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Here's how the two conferences break down to me:


Oct 18, 2013, 3:01 PM

If you take the top four from each, I agree the ACC is a little better:

Clemson, Florida St., Miami, Virginia Tech
Oregon, Stanford, UCLA, Washington

The bottom two are better in the ACC, too, I think:

North Carolina, Virginia
California, Colorado

But the teams in between the top four and the bottom two? PAC-12 blows the ACC away

Maryland, Pitt, Georgia Tech, NC State, Syracuse, BC, Wake, Duke
Oregon St., Washington St., USC, Arizona St., Arizona, Utah

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

The top of the PAC-12 got the bottom of the cream puff B1G


Oct 18, 2013, 2:55 PM

Wisconsin was robbed and OSU destroyed cal. That OOC was a wash in my mind.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Ohio Stare didn't really destroy Cal


Oct 18, 2013, 2:58 PM

And that's #1 big ten vs #12 PAC 12

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I'm not sure I agree with blows away


Oct 18, 2013, 3:04 PM

GT beat USC in a west coast bowl last year. And GT maybe one of the worst teams in the ACC this year.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Just saying I think you could make arguments


Oct 18, 2013, 3:06 PM

That the middle sections could compete in games with each other. And if you could then where does this clearly better argument come from.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

In my mind it is ACC PAC-12 tied for 2nd


Oct 18, 2013, 3:14 PM

Or it is at least close enough speculation wise that I wish the guys that influence voters would start thinking that way.
