Florida State the ACC champ got demolished by the Florida Gators, and the Gators are considered down.
Miami the best team in ACC imo, got drilled by LSU with their second string QB in.
The SEC has the all around best talent among all the teams in the conference, the ACC is, and has been dominated by FSU for many years. Now the Chokies and the Hurricanes come in and the ACC is world beaters, oh bout forgot mighty Boston College.
GO SEC AND ROLL TIDE!!!!!!!!! [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
I guess it really doesn't matter at the end of the day, since neither the mighty SEC or the ACC have a team playing for the National Title (the only game that really matters). You guys can chest thump about the SEC all you want, but Alabama is the only club from the SEC with more titles than the Canes. All of these SEC teams with deep histories of football going back 100 years did less in that 100+ years than Miami did in one decade (except Bama). Heck, FSU has more bling than most SEC clubs.
FSU had three games they had to win all year to go to the National Championship game, Miami, Florida, and UVA sometimes. Granted Miami and Florida are no slouches and you deserve wherever you go if you beat both of those teams, but the ACC was pretty much a joke, Miami, Boston College, and Va Tech makes the ACC a stronger conference but the conference as a whole is not as competitive as the SEC, nor as athletic as a conference as a whole. BUT this is just my opinion. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
The ACC has better athletes, the SEC has better football players.
I agree with the second part of that, not sure about the first. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

But it sure does mean something to those Hokie fans who come crawling out of the woodwork like cockroaches....claiming to be VT fans from back in the day....whenever they beat the "U."

No matter what the temperature is in Miami, it's still 27 to 7 in Blacksburg.
Plus Miami's beaten VT 4 out of the last 6 and still lead the overall series between the two teams. I'd say we still have room to talk when it comes to VT head-to-head against Miami...I'll take the Canes and play the percentages.
I've always said people should support who they want but its really sad to see people from SWVA supporting teams from Florida or California or wherever...I wonder if other areas have as many fans who don't support their local teams as we do here in SWVA? I don't mind Va Cavalier fans so bad because hey atleast we are in Va but all these Miami and FSU fans is really confusing.
Conference Record:
Miami 7 wins
Tech 7 wins
Virginia Tech didnt even have a football team in the 80s when I became a cane fan. Miami and Florida State revolutionized college football in that era where speed was introduced to destroy inferior wishbone horsecrap that the big 8 put on the field. To an even greater extent, what kid would want to be a fan of a trashy team like virginia tech or virginia when Howard Schnellenberger and Earl Morrell were introducing Quarterback U and probably the only pro style offense in college football at the time. What kid didnt want to be the next Jim Kelly or Bernie Kosar? What kid didnt want to break on the ball quicker than a blitzkrieg through poland and take one to the house while high stepping like Deion Sanders. Those dudes made college football exciting when it was real dull. Thats why Im not a tech fan or a virginia fan.
I think Blue would agree with me too, if I wasnt a cane fan, I would be a nole fan. If he wasnt a nole fan he would be a cane fan(if smarty would let him).
