Have this year. Our Bowl win last year helped. The ACC just needs to keep it up a few more years so it doesn’t look like an anomaly. Helping the ACC’s image is also why I pull for UNC & UVA when they play out of conference. I’d like for there to be no doubt the ACC is one of the power conferences.
The way Memphis, UCF & USF have improved recently it’s starting to look like that conference champ deserves a playoff spot.
