Miami, FL 23, Ga Tech 41 (Final)

Not sure why voters feel obligated to vote for an ACC team. Every single week a fringe top 25 team loses to an unranked team and they just swap places. Now Georgia Tech will be ranked somewhere between 20-25.

And if Maryland wins this weekend they'll be around 24 or so again....

I don't see a problem with it... The ACC teams aren't as bad as people think IMO. It's an incredibly even league. Lots of parity. I don't think there are definitely 25 teams better than the ACC's best... They've had some good wins. Duke vs Vandy was pretty impressive...Duke's 1-5 in the ACC... I'm going to be eager to watch the Georgia Tech-Georgia game. Georgia could definitely win big, but it could also be a very good game.. Same with FSU-Florida, although I'm more confident in Florida for that one (by a lot).

That being said they also have some very embarrassing losses. I think they're an inconsistent league. Some of that might have to do with the parity- when you're playing your heart out to win every week, it's hard to mantain consistency.
I guess we'll see soon enough.

There are no top 25 teams. Just a bunch of top 40-50 teams.

FUCK THE ACC

FUCK THE ACC

FUCK THE ACC

It's not just that teams are losing to each other, it's that nobody can win freaking 2 games in a row. There could be 10 or 11 7-5 or 6-6 teams in the conference by the end. Parity my ass...complete mediocrity is more like it. For everyone denouncing Utah, Boise State, TCU, and BYU being in the Top 25, Top 15, whatever, I challenge anyone to come up with a good reason why anyone should believe any ACC team could beat any of them on the road.

I was at the game. Wish I had seen you wells, I would have given you a big :oh:. I actually did see someone wearing a scarlet and gray jacket, but I didnt see it from the front, so I couldnt confirm tOSU on it. Anyhow, I had my buckeye with me and I was wearing an Ohio State shirt underneath my GT whiteout gear.

I don't like hearing the bashing of the ACC from you guys, but it is what it is. We have to prove it on the field and we haven't in BCS games.

Hopefully well start a turnaround with UGA next week.

I was disappointed in this game. I want the Canes to win.

I hate North Carolina because my roommate is a UNC diehard fan. I'd hate to see UNC to be in BCS bowl game over Ohio State who only lost once in conference play, if they beat Michigan.

It is just stupid to see UNC with 3 conference losses and be in BCS Bowl game and listen to how UNC is better than Ohio State, based on that concept.

Grr...

I hope NC State beats UNC this Saturday.
