I think the ACC was 4-5 against the SEC this year: Loses = Miami, Louisville (2x), GT, FSU Wins= Clemson (3X) and Virgina
It is also worth noting that the SEC best teams beat some of worst.
Either way, we are the class of the ACC and the class of the SEC

Lets see here... since the start of the CFP
The ACC has 2 natty trophies The SEC has 2 nattys The B10 has 1 Nattys
So lets go to the tie-breaker as the last BCS NC.... since it was both a ACC and SEC team... and ACC wins. Give the Noles that credit as they were , sigh, good that year with all that crab meat.

No, but neither did Alabama winning two, or Saban winning make the SEC the best football conference. What made the SEC the best conference is the continual bias toward the SEC by eSECpn(ESPN). Clemson and Bama stand head and shoulders above any of the other teams in either the SEC or ACC. What is concerning, however, is that the SEC is seeing a bit of a comeback by Georgia, and Florida while the news of a lawsuit against Taggart at FSU, and Mark Richt's departure at Miami might mean some fall off in power ratings in the ACC. Just my take.

If I hear the fan of another school try to take credit for clemson...I tell then to pound sand.
These conferences are necessary evils, but I'll be darned if I ever pull for duke... uncle, NC state, miami,fsu...etc.
I don't care if Duke wins 300 more NC in basketball,,, they are fans of their school... im a fan of my school.

No IT15. Clemson has become analogous to the NE Patriots. College football’s best team in a historically week conference (e.g. Miami, Buffalo & NY Jets $uck.)
Clemson and Bama are currently bigger than the ACC and SEC in the college football world. The other teams in their conferences and divisions may gain a halo effect from the champs, but it does not improve the other teams and conference reputations as a whole.

I don't want a league full of elitist snobs taking credit for the titles this program won on the field. The ACC is a means to the title and they can be cannon fodder for all I care. They get a piece out the Football money we generate...that's enough
