Is the ACC becoming THE conference?
- Thread starter FuzzyBee
- Start date
for the conference.... big 10 is tops in almost every major sport.... football, basketball, hockey..
what? ohio state wins one championship, and suddenly the big ten (eleven?) is best? basketball? when was the last big ten basketball nat'l champion? 200? when was the last one?
did you forget about baseball? some people think it's pretty big.
hah! pretty soon, vandy is going to win the sec championship, just by default. can't win the conference if you're on probation.
Not really too concerned. Big East has always been a b'ball conference and losing VT and Miami will definitely not hurt it there.
With Syracuse as the defending National and Big 12 champs
, and strong teams in Pitt, UConn, ND, BC, Seton Hall, etc, Big East is THE conference for B'ball

acc still may give 'em a run for the money. depends on how much coach k whines
not to mention that the big 10 regularly sends 6-7 teams to bowl games and 5-6 teams to the ncaas for bball.... thats over 50% of teams that play in the league
compare that to the current acc - we usually send 6-7 teams to bowls (out of 9) and 4-5 of the nine to the ncaas. *well* over 50%
I would say that the SEC or the Big-10 are the top conferences.
As for Notre Dame joining the ACC...don't hold your breath.

i honestly think that they're going to have to join a conference in football very soon. why not the acc?
Notre Dame has a sweet deal going as far as scheduling and whatnot goes in addition to being able to negotiate their own TV coverage. I wouldn't expect them to join a conference because then they would have to give up their traditional scheduling of patsies to inflate their record in addition to being forced to play conferance opponents.
Edit: 1001 posts....yay I'm golden.
for what? regular contenders:
for football:
FSU
Miami
Va Tech
Maryland
Clemson
Ga Tech
for basketball:
Duke
UNC
Wake
Maryland

congrats
i'm split as to my thought on notre dame - i'd rather them not join the conference, because i hate them so much, but i enjoy seeing them join one for the reasons you mentioned. i think that this year's conference reorganization is going to make enough change in the next bcs configuration to no longer grant notre dame a free bye into the bcs (if it still exists). i think this will drive them to join a conference.
