Ranking the Conferences: SEC #1 - ACC #6

[PacoGator19]

Barrett Salee of CBS ranks the conferences. SEC is #1. He rates the AAC tougher than the ACC.

Will the ACC get it P5 status revoked in football?

.....which bothers me as to why Bowman and Fred Davis would rather play in that sappy, boring ass conference instead of getting there God-given talent tested on a weekly basis in the SEC. I mean of course, the allure of winning the conference every year along with the facilities and down-home feeling that Clemson provides will be attractive to any teenager. But the competitive nature to be the best and play against the best is what I wish would absorb some of these Florida kids more to stay home and play in Gainesville.

Not if Clemson keeps winning Natty's. Get FSU, and scUM back in the top 25, then throw in the occasional UVA, VaTech, UNC, etc. and it will work itself out.

Miami??? LOL. That program hasn’t done anything since 2003. They can’t even win the dreaded ACC.

Miami is a joke... they need a Spurrier type guy to come in but there problem is they have no money, facilities and their fan base are terrible.

FSU can make a come back with the right coach. They have a good base of fans, and good facilities etc. UVA, VaTech, UNC are decent programs but have never done anything and haven't sustained any real success over time.

Only so many great coaches out there. Facilities are a bigger thing now and money is a thing but the great coaches can get it done. Meyer dominated and we were behind with facilities, paid good but not the best. Starkville is a sh<thole and look what Mullen did there. UF is about to have some awesome facilities soon ...and have been upgrading the last few years.

No matter the best players come to schools play for the best coaches.

 

[Nicktheslick]

No conference prepares college kids for the NFL better than the SEC. It’s the level of competition week in and week out. Until the Big 10, Big 12, ACC, and PAC 12 become more competitive from top to bottom get used to it.

 

[PlutoDroid]

SEC has been number one since we trashed Ohio State in '06.

Think about the depth of this league compared to others.

This Decade thus far:

We have Alabama, who has owned the sport for ten years. We have LSU who has a couple Titles, another championship game appearance, and now a number one seed. We have Auburn, who has one title, and another championship appearance. We have Georgia who has an appearance, and of course there is Florida with two titles.

The B1G has Ohio State who has two titles and two championship appearences,and a Michigan State who got trashed in their lone playoff appearance.

The Big 12 has Oklahoma with one title, and two other championship appearences. They have Texas with one title. Nebraska with one appearance ( they were in the Big 12 during this time).

The Pac 12 has USC with one title, and another championship appearance. They have Oregon with one appearance.

The ACC has Clemson with two titles, and another appearance. Miami with one title, and another appearence, and Florida State with one title, and one appearance .

Huh? Miami with a title and an appearance in what? Miami hasn’t won anything since they have been in the ACC.

 

[GatorNation79]

Miami hasn't done anything since 2003...I think they won it in 2001. Can't remember.

I can't assign it to a conference that no longer exists ( Big East). Miami won the 2001 National Title, but lost to Ohio State in the following years Title Game.

I was starting off in the year 2000

That last call in the Ohio State game was one of the worst and bad like what Nulls call Choke at the Doak...the refs chocked and gave the games away.

Well the refs screwed OSU or there is no OT in that game most likely. A Miami player yanked a WRs jersey big time and they let it go or OSU would have punted later with just a few seconds remaining if they ran it all downs after the 1st down.

Well it wasn’t won by an ACC team either. Miami has won nothing as an ACC team/member.

Miami has been hot garbage since joining the ACC. I remember people saying they were what the ACC needed to close the gap with the SEC.

 

[hardliner]

ACC is usually second in players drafted so the talent is there. Commitment to football and overall culture is the main thing holding the league back.

Pluto,

Your statement was the last decade, but no big deal.
Here is NCAA list from 1998 - the start of the BCS era to present; when you had to win it on the field.
Even with BCS, 2003 -LSU & S Cal a bit murky.

SEC has simply been much better overall

Fans of schools in other conferences cherry pick to try and make a point but for several decades this has not been close. It does not mean an SEC school wins every hear nor does it mean that other schools are not often elite. But the depth from the SEC has been outstanding. That also makes Alabama’s run even more impressive

No, but they may lose their automatic spot in the Orange Bowl.

That's the problem when you have a one-team conference. When that one team makes the playoffs you get a lousy game, because there isn't a second good team available. When that one team misses the playoffs, you get lousy attendance because the fans of that team look at it as a down year and consider the Orange Bowl a consolation prize.

Lol hes wrong. We would win 10 games in the AAC

They have been the most consistent but there have been yrs where they were not the best. SEC imo has clearly been the best conf over the last 20 yrs. Probably being the best in 15 of those yrs. Now where i disagree with most is that its been closer than people think. 4 or 5 of those yrs i think tye sec was the best by leaps and bounds so every1 just assumed that every other yr as well and it wasnt true. Jimbo was like 11 and 1 against the sec at fsu. Doesnt mean the sec wasnt the best but its just not as far as people think except for a few yrs. The ACC has probably averaged 4th over the last 20 but we have been better lately.... Except this yr (we were dead last out of p5). The AAC argument is bad. The ACC lost one game all yr to the AAC and it was G tech.... Our worst team.

 

[PacoGator19]

The AAC actually has more top 25 team than the ACC. AAC has 3 and the ACC 2. Both conferences are pretty bad so it’s splitting hairs.

True. My bad.

 

[grommit]

The BIG?? deserves to have it's P5 status taken away. Didn't have any teams worthy of being in the top 25 last year and I don't believe any of their teams belong in the top 25 this year either. Well you could argue that oHio sTate could be in the 20-25 range, but that's being generous considering they haven't played anyone all year.

 

[GatorNation79]

The ACC is a power 5 and their conference is straight garbage right now.

Rankings are meh. They had 1 win over the ACC this yr.....and it was G tech

 

[alaskanseminole]

Huh? Miami with a title and an appearance in what? Miami hasn’t won anything since they have been in the ACC.

Miami decided to play down to the competition rather than help bring it up.

 

[Gator Fever]

Miami was decent when they first joined the ACC but only had one good year since the first year they joined.

 

[PacoGator19]

Miami laid a big time egg tonight. Not only lost to La Tech but got shutout.

They’re better now than when f$u decided to hide there. That was the worst major conference I’ve ever seen, and they basically had nothing but cupcakes until they played us and Miami. It’s the least impressive run of all time and the should have gotten dinged for it from someone besides us. At least Clemson schedules A&M or some other teams OOC, and there are teams capable of giving them a game if they don’t show up ready to play.

Anyone anytime anywhere was the motto.... I seem to remember waltzing into big bad michigans stadium and handing them a loss... We played a ton of out of conf teams that were really good.

What do you expect out of your team when your head coach is a crack dealer on your street corner first and foremost, and your head football coach second?

Now this is a funny thread full of turds all on their high horse just 2 years removed from missing a bowl game.... And that's twice this decade..... 2013 and 2017 not making a bowl game..... be careful with that lowly ACC team tonight.... ;-)

I always laugh when FSU fans bring up the lack of making bowl games. Bruh, you play in the ACC, of course you’re going to end up winning more games by default than if you were in the SEC. There are myriad of times FSU has had 6-6 teams just in the last 20 years (I count at least three seasons, might be four) where if they had played an SEC schedule they would have gone 5-7 or worse but got Bowl eligibility due to their garbage conference.

Hell, your team last season sucked out loud yet still entered the final week of the season with a chance to be bowl eligible despite how bad they were due to the ACC. I figure FSU probably goes 4-8 if the play the schedule UF did last season at the very least.

We were worse than Miami this yr (hell we have a 3 game losing streak to them) but as you said, we are trending up, they are getting beat by FIU and La Tech.... Jesus what a dumpster fire
