Jayhawks vs Chokies

I'm not sure why you UT fans are jumping on VT fans? With Florida,Georgia,South Carolina & Alabama on the rise and defection of the coaching staff + a contract extension for Fulmer UT will be luckey if they crack the top three of the SEC east. I look at it this way Beamer is not that good of a coach but he does well for the talent he gets at VT compared to Fulmer who has a top ten class every year.

I don't understand the pure hatred. So it is the fault of VT when they leave what everybody calls a weak conference (Big East), and goes to the ACC, and several of the great teams fall apart.

Just looking at the last couple years, at the end of 2006, the SEC had 5 teams ranked, ACC 3. At the end of 2006, it was 5 teams ranked by each. At the end of 2004, the ACC had 5 teams, SEC had 4 teams ranked. At the end of 2003, the SEC had 5 teams, the ACC had 4. And at the end of 2002, the ACC had 6 teams ranked, the SEC 3 teams

(NOTE--this is teams currently in the conferences, not who was there then)

While I'll agree that the top SEC teams tend to be very much near the top and week in/week out, its a tougher league, to pretend that teams like VA, GC, NC, Miami, BC, Wake, Clemson, Florida State, Maryland and North Carolina State (I'll leave Duke out), aren't at worst decent programs, at least they have the capability to be, and most have been ranked at various points during the last few years.

Now Rock, don't confuse them with facts....You know the SEC beat the dickens out of every ACC team they played this season.
