I think the SEC still has the edge - ACC has five 'top' programs now...

...by my reckoning: UNC, FSU, Miami, UL, and Clemson. The SEC has Auburn, UGA, Florida, Alabama, LSU, Ole Miss, and Texas A&M. Auburn, LSU, and Ole Miss all have OOC losses to quality teams. UNC has an OOC loss to UGA.

3 of the SEC's top program's losses were OOC, while 6 were conference games. 1 of the ACC's 'top' losses was OOC, 1 in conference.

I think we'll see more ACC schools drop out of the rankings as top programs go head-to-head. In general, I think the SEC's OOC slate looks tougher this year. Shocking given their history. If Notre Dame weren't tanking the ACC's OOC schedule would look much stronger (although the ACC is knocking them down).

Quarterbacks, too. ACC's got 'em, SEC doesn't. ** -- Will Stewart

Amazing how bad that conference is at QB. ** -- reestuart 10/03/2016 12:43PM

And no top seniors except Thomas from GT (yikes). Watson/Kaaya -- Colonel Jessup 10/03/2016 12:14PM

Yep it's kinda chicken or the egg...with QB's and coaches. 🐓🍳😀 ** -- Stech 10/02/2016 10:27PM

I liked the ACC's commercial on ABC last night. ** -- chuckd4vt 10/02/2016 2:40PM

That ABC Louisville v Clemson game was highly rated BTW. -- HOO86 10/02/2016 7:52PM

I sound like a broken record, but -- ren_hoek 10/02/2016 9:29PM

Not to be negative, but their coach and Heisman QB won't always be there. -- chuckd4vt 10/02/2016 9:48PM

There was Strong and Bridgewater before -- ren_hoek 10/03/2016 06:49AM

Hookers and blow parties get ya a few players too. -- chuckd4vt 10/03/2016 07:56AM

Louisville hasn't been able to accept NQs since their C-USA days... -- BROman Hokie 10/03/2016 11:15AM

They do regularly take kids nobody else will. (Academics and discipline) ** -- chuckd4vt 10/04/2016 7:14PM

As long as Jurich is there, they will compete ** -- OBX 10/02/2016 11:35PM

They aren't recruiting at a high enough level. -- chuckd4vt 10/02/2016 11:48PM
