The gold standard for ACC football is (laughably? depressingly? fittingly?) 2003, the last year prior to expansion. The ACC finished #1 in the Sagarin and was clearly the best conference.

Georgia Tech limped to a bowl game in the middle of the pack ... and blasted BCS top 10 Stanford in the Seattle Bowl with an interim coach. The league was top to bottom good. The only bad egg was Duke, which was historically terrible.

RE: Is ACC football improving?
The ACC has great potential. Look at this:

Clemson
FSU
Georgia Tech
Louisville
Miami
North Carolina i
Pitt
Syracuse
Virginia Tech

If these schools consistently crank it up again look put:

Boston College
Duke
North Carolina State
Virginia
Wake Forest

And Notrre Dame joins look out SEC!

Please. I hope you mean "prior to the last few years".

Here was the final AP poll. The ACC had zero top ten teams, and three ranked teams total, and not one ACC team finished above the MAC champion.

Nobody judges a conference by how good the second or third worst team is. The ACC only had two teams in the top 25 going into bowl season.

But it's a good example how strength in the middle has been the ACC's standard and it's been terrible for the football image.

RE: Is ACC football improving?
I think if we can win as many OOC games as possible, across the board, then we should be pretty good. Obviously once conference play really takes over, some teams have to lose every week. If FSU, Clemson, UofL, Miami and maybe one more from Coastal, UNC or VT, can win most games and be ranked it will make us one of the strongest conferences. Then the other teams can fairly evenly split the remaining wins and losses, with no one really being a super bottom feeder -- or at most just 1 team. If the other teams all finish around 6-6, to most be bowl eligible, it would be great for the league.

Yeah, I know you said that Sagarin rated the ACC the best. Literally nobody that watches college football cares what Sagarin has to say.

Again, the MAC champ finished higher ranked than any ACC team. Zero top ten teams. That season was another trash season for the ACC, even though it had decent teams throughout the middle.

Sagarin ratings are one of the best predictors and have been for 25 years.

Go and do a statistical correlation and provide the data.

Yes, "literally nobody" is hyperbole. So is suggesting that a statistically insignificant difference in an average rating from one of many computer rankings is evidence that the ACC was "clearly the best conference" that year.

Here are the final AP poll top 25 from 1990 to 2011...

[Image: SECvACC1.jpg]

Of course, I'm using the current ACC conference membership which is a little off since they didn't all play an ACC schedule, but if you'll forgive that one simplification you'll see that 2000 was a very good year at the top (FSU, Miami and VT all in the top 6) and there was excellent depth in 2001 and 2002.

If you go back a little more, 1990-92 were good years as well. Again, current teams were not all in the ACC at that time.

Do you have this info readily available? If so, can you pull it through 2015?

As you wish...

BTW, still think ACC football is enjoying "unprecedented" success? 02-13-banana

P.S. who is this team I see sprinkled throughout this table that starts with the letter "S"? Does the ACC even have a football team that begins with that letter, or is that referring to NC State? 05-stirthepot

1) Thanks for the updated charts! I don't care about all the terrible PMs that I sent trashing your name. I think that you're alright :)
2) An ACC football team that starts with an "S?" Give me about 2-3 years and I'll let you know if that exists.

On a related side note, Mark Coyle is an unmitigated moron.

RE: Is ACC football improving?
If Louisville gets by Marshall tonight, the P5 looks like this after Week 4:

Conf......vs FBS.....vs P5

B1G....... .788 .... .667
SEC....... .741 .... .500
ACC....... .704 .... .583
PAC....... .640 .... .455
B12....... .545 .... .333

Only the ACC and SEC still have a significant number of OOC games left.
