I need some help from you guys trying to figure out how the ACC is doing. I know Les Miles handed a bowl win to Clemson, so that made one for the ACC.

Then they said they got another one when Louisville beat Florida because Louisville plans to join the ACC, or maybe has joined the ACC, but just not yet. But it's still an ACC win because Louisville will be in the ACC. Okay, I'm trying to keep count here, but it's getting foggy.

Ole Miss beat Pittsburgh as expected, but they aren't counting that as a loss because Pittsburgh is not in the ACC yet. What the heck? How can the Louisville game be a win but Pittsburgh not be a loss.

Now I just heard Roy Philpot on WCCP and it seems that Notre Dame, a team with ACC connections, may finally end that six year stranglehold on the national championship. Notre Dame is joining the ACC, but not in football. So if they win, will it be a win for the ACC?  Based on the Pittsburgh loss (It's not an ACC loss), I'm pretty sure an Alabama romp won't have any bearing on the ACC. But what if Notre Dame wins?

Can somebody help me figure this out?

Dabo will figure it out after tonight's game and let us all know. One that I do know:


27 - 17

Confusing, isn't it?

Wait until the ACC teams sit down and try to figure out how to schedule this five annual Nostrus Damus games and who gets to play them first (revenue driven concerns)... the old specters from the conference we knew will raise its head once again!

Go Gamecocks!!!

According to the idiots on their site, the SEC's 3 bowl losses only proves the SEC is overrated. Those morons only had to wait how many seasons for the conference to have one with more than a couple of losses to determine that for years the SEC has wrongfully been coined "the best conference".

But what's even more hilarious is how the taters think a win against LSU has validated their greatness. The mighty ACC...even after a win against LSU and a win against a "6-7" USC Trojan team, still does not get the National attention or the respect of a pimple on an elephants butt! Ask anyone other than a fan of a team in the ACC, if they think your conference is worth anything? They'll probably just say..."Yeah, in basketball". What a delusional group...if you were worthy of respect you wouldn't hide all that orange and purple away in your closet until you finally won something meaningful. One of the best things about beating the spuds, is not have to see anything orange for 3-4 weeks...or 3-4 months after last years more than embarrassing finish!

One of their posters said "If our defense played against USC like it did against LSU, we'd have easily beaten them"!...listen moron, if LSU played tater tech the way they played USC you'd feel stupid having that conversation.

ACC...STILL A JOKE!

Was the SEC overrated this year? Who knows, the jury is still out until tonight. Was UF, LSU, and Miss State (during the regular season) overrated? Yeah. Also USC finished 7-6, not 6-7.

The ACC is not a good football conference, but they went 4-2 this year in bowls (and 6-3 if you want to count future members with ND still up in the air). Give credit to where credit is due to Clemson and GT for stepping up.

I'm pretty sure even you understand that had Clemson played LSU during the season and had Louisville played Florida during the season both Clemson and Louisville would have been curb stomped....You never know what you're going to get in a bowl game...hell, we nearly lost to Michigan !!!

The Bowl win for Clemson seemed to be good for recruiting. Today two highly rated wide receivers decommitted to Clemson to play in the SEC today.

I think the jury is coming in now.

I Imagine they will try to count our win vs Michigan since we were in the ACC over 40 years ago.

Alabama is rolling in a huge wave. I just hope they do not score 70 points. I would hate to see that Orange Bowl record broken.

May Clemson's shame forever be marked in the history books as the biggest bowl beating ever.

SEC finishes 6-3 in bowls and wins its 7th straight SEC title, SEC is properly rated outside of Miss State.

Oops, my bad...now that you put it that way I guess it was a heck of a win. 7-6 is a huge leap from 6-7:)

Thank you soooo much for posting this! I've heard that same crap from WCCP for weeks now and I can't figure it out either. How is it that ND and Louisville count but Pittsburg doesn't and according to Walt Dipstick A&M don't count for the SEC because in his words "they are a Big 12 team" adopted by the SEC. Even though they are ALREADY an official member unlike the EZZ newbies.

Doesn't matter though because everyone knows that a teams demise begins AFTER they become a member of the EZZ. That conf. rots football teams. Just ask Miami and FSU. Once proud programs who are begging for national relevence again.

How are we begging for national relevance when we just won a BCS bowl and finished in the top 10?

It has something to do with who you played. You only got to play in a BCS bowl because you play in a crappy conference. Then you played Northern Illinois. How the heck did they get in a BCS game? Your schedule was so weak you should have backed into the national championship game like Notre Dame did, but you lost to NCSU. How could a nationally relevant team lose to the Wolfpack? 

The SEC had six teams in the top ten but only two could get in a BCS bowl because the slots were committed to crappy teams from crappy conferences like the ACC.

What makes you think you have any national relevance?

Snakey...after losing to NC State, a team easily beaten by Vanderbilt, do you really think you're a legitimate top 10 team? Serious question!

Our two losses came against top 10 teams...and if LSU had a coach that didn't take a vacation in the last 5 min of their bowl game, the taters would not have beaten them.

"May Clemson's shame forever be marked in the history books as the biggest bowl beating ever"

sorry, but, clemson's loss to WV wasn't the biggest bowl beating ever (tulsa 63 - bowling green 7)... it was the biggest beating in a BCS bowl... something some teams have never had the chance to out do.

Some teams don't play in crappy conferences....Now that the Big East has surpassed the ACC there should be a bowl to match the ACC winner with the Conference USA winner called thee Toilet Bowl...
