What's wrong with ACC football? Is it the coaches, the crowds, the facilities, the recruits, the lack of tradition? Is it that the administrations and the fans care so much about basketball they don't have enough left for football?
If Friday was Black Friday for shoppers, Saturday was Black Saturday for the ACC.
Everytime I write about the superiority of SEC football, I hear from ACC fans who want to argue. What's left to say?
South Carolina 34, Clemson 17.
Georgia 30, Georgia Tech 24.
Florida 37, Florida State 10.
Clemson and Georgia Tech will play for the ACC championship. On the way the Tigers and Yellow Jackets were beaten by a fair to middling SEC team. Do you think Wake Forest or Boston College is going to beat Florida or Alabama?
The SEC's product is singular. So is the ACC's -- in hoops.
...And in academics. All 12 of the ACC's schools are ranked in the U.S. & World Report top 100 schools. The SEC's? Not so much. So I guess I can live with the lack of football success knowing that the universities I support are better at being, you know, universities.

Great point, but we're talking football here.

Yeah, the tens of thousands of Jobs in the NFL that are dependent on the highest academic standards really need those diploma mills from the SEC.
