ACC will never be a football powerhouse. Players want to play for teams where football is everything.

I thought adding Miami and Fla state may help that. It hasn't.

ACC is still a basketball powerhouse. It will remain as such.

How many ACC stadiums have 90K + capacity? You want to play with the big boys you have to play with the big boys.

At this point its not even a debateable question. The ACC hasn't won a BCS game in 8 years. Today, we saw the top 2 preaseason ACC teams go down to lower ranked opponents. The ACC is nowhere near as good as the Big East.

Came here to post the same type of thread. Man oh man what a bad day for the ACC. Arguably the 6th best team in the SEC just stomped the ACC favorite. Geeeez.

Lets get ahead of ourselves gentlemen. This is the first weekend of the year, the ACC is obviously on a downtrend, but i have confidence things will change in a few months. As far as the big east goes, lets not get ahead of ourselves here. Yes WV is a great squad but the rest of the conference is a joke. Sorry.

FSU wasn't added to the ACC, it was Miami and VT.

And arguably, there has never been a greater football powerhouse than FSU for 15 years straight, especially throughout the 90's.

Is the ACC down right now? Yes.

But two things:
1- Tech was overhyped this year. Anyone who disagrees is probably a Tech fan. Especially after they red shirted Tyrod and tried to keep rolling with just Glennon. You can't lose that many guys, plug in underclassmen to take their spots, and just keep it going, especially if said guys aren't the kind of elite cross-country talent that programs like USC keep plugging in. These are "athletes" recruited to fit the Tech system. A learning period will be required for Tech to step back to where it was last year, and maybe become even better. But for this year, they won't be that great. Sorry SHF, you gotta wait until likely 2009.

2- FSU and Miami are the two programs that the ACC needs to bounce back. The history both programs have, and their value for ratings, mean that the ACC depends on them at the end of the day. It's no secret that the two programs that have floundered the most since the Tech/Miami merger have coincided their notorious down years with the worst years for the conference. Both schools have some of the biggest college football fans, usually a lot of the top recruits, and most of the media hype (despite being undeserved as of late). And make no mistake, FSU and Miami are indeed coming back into the fold. Coaching makes all the difference, and both programs lately have suffered the worst kinds of coaching and overall directional mistakes, but both programs have also gotten that fixed and are changing completely like night and day, and with that comes the expected production of the prized top recruits and better on field performance. By 2009 and especially 2010, the U and the Seminoles will be right back in the scene, likely as two of the top, if not the two top, programs in the conference. And with that, the ACC will start to regain its own credibility, since choke artists like VT and Clemson won't be leading the way and losing their big games.

But as for this year, yes, the ACC is certainly starting off on a bad foot.

This is funny. If there is anybody who shouldn't be talking smack, it's FSU fans. FSU has been, hands down, the biggest embarrassment to the ACC. VT has done more than its part since expansion. Meanwhile, FSU continues to drown in its own mediocrity and ineptitude. Let's be clear about this: FSU makes the ACC look bad, not VT. You worry about your own **** program. We've been hearing FSU will bounce back for years. Tick tock *****.

That being said, did I expect to lose to ECU? Nope. Does it surprise me? Nope. My suspicions of this team started early but I tried ignoring it through my blind homerism a tad. But my suspicions were confirmed when TT was redshirted. Regardless, getting raided by the NFL tends to make an impact on transition years. No Hokie in the land thought 2008 was going to be our year. We all knew 2009-2010 was going to be Beamer's window of opportunity back when TT committed.

I still expect this team to gel to an extent and I still expect to own the ACC as we have since our arrival. Right now, we're defending ACC champs, so haters can eat a ****.

Congrats to ECU. They outplayed and outcoached us. Stinespring is a cancer.

Son if you want credibility know what YOU are talking about. You were too young to watch Football when Fla State join the acc which was not too long ago.

Fla State SINCE joining the ACC has been in steady decline.

The ACC is NOT, will NOT, and has never been a Football powerhouse.

And if you are from Football powerhouse conference, the laugh at the likes of Virginia Tech as being a major collegiate football program.

FSU has won 12 ACC Championships in the 16 years they have been in the ACC. How many has Va Tech won? How many National Championships has Va Tech won? remember when they lost to Peter Warrick? you sir are a complete idiot.... Lets go Pirates.....

Wow, I love watching ACC fans attack their own.

By the way, the statement that "VT has done more than its part since expansion" is interesting in that VT has lost 4 out of their last 5 bowl games. So if you mean "doing their part" as in "not winning BCS bowl games" like the rest of the conference, I suppose you're correct. lol

ACC is not a football powerhouse. Those teams joining end up in the same fate as all old time ACC teams.

VT, Fla State, Miami, they all are doomed to being in a conference that the nations top recruits don't want to play in.

Which was my point.

Pretty awful for one more year

The upgrade in coaching that was made the past 2 offseasons across the conference will start to pay dividends next year

FSU will be much better very fast. I think Randy Shannon will get this superstar class of recruits to start playing high level ball by 2010

Butch Davis will have UNC as a credible bowl eligible team. Ditto Tom O'Brien at NCSU. Jim O'Brien has turned Wake Forest into a credible, bowl eligible team. We'll see if Cutliffe can at least get Duke from 4 wins a decade to 4 wins a year. I think Paul Johnson will do some things at GT like he did at Navy

3 guys who need to go are Bryan Stinespring (VT offensive coordinator) and Tommy Bowden and his choking dogs at Clemson and Al Groh at Virginia.

The caliber of coaches overall now are far superior to what was in the ACC in 2006 when the likes of Chuck Amato, John Bunting, Ted Roof, Larry Coaker and Chan Gailey roamed the sidelines of the ACC

People are no longer impressed by recruits as both FSU and Miami have pulled in top 10 classes each year this decade

The difference is, FSU has greatly upgraded its coaching staff on offense (which VT needs to do badly) and Miami got rid of hand-clapper Coaker

I think you see signs from FSU this year that they are turning the corner and will be a damn good team in 2009. Miami it will take till 2010

Miami it will take till 2010 Very understandable approach to take, considering yes, both schools have had highly touted guys with little payoff due to completely inept coaching...but that's different from saying top recruits don't go to either school at all.

They did, and still very much do, but like you said, now the coaching is highly upgraded to actually make them worth a damn.

I actually think Miami will be ridiculous in 2010-2011...very possibly the best team in the ACC, they'll be a weak team this year due to being so young all over the place, but their past couple classes are just absurd and they have some great coaches now. FSU just needs to develop E.J. Manuel for 2010 and hopefully next year figure out a good 2-QB system with Christian Ponder and D'Vo...unless Ponder is able to take the QB reigns from Weatherford this year as it's been rumored...

I still think Randy Shannon needs to prove himself (last year wasn't a good start, but he has done some things to change the culture) before we can start to see where Miami will go

What he has proven is that he is a no nonsense guy that expects discipline and his a great defensive mind. His D will be very good, but what about that offense?

By 2010-2011 Miami and FSU should be back to where they were supposed to be in 2004, amongst the big 3 in the ACC with Virginia Tech still a little ahead of both schools, due to the fact we just brought in 2 straight absurd recruiting classes :) and will have Tyrod Taylor as a full time starter (and no, stars have never meant a thing for VT, its getting the right guys which Beamer has done)

you are definitely right about the Big 12....they aren't too far behind the SEC. They were the second best conference as well last year. This is the first time in a long time I can remember their being more than two teams (oklahoma/texas) in the mix for the Big-12 championship!

every conference has their slums! The SEC does, however, have UF, LSU, Auburn, Bama, Tennessee, and Georgia to keep them stong.

you can count on 3 of these teams to be in the top 10 or 15 all year long. I think the winner of GA and UF will be in the national championship this year!

For what it's worth, Drew Weatherford was removed as starting QB today for FSU...Christian Ponder has officially taken his spot...could easily mean more big plays in the offense, but also some more turnovers as Ponder learns his own limits and the nuances of the game...but the kid's a hell of a playmaker compared to ultra-conservative Weatherford...

i'd hope not. as pointed out, we won't continue to run into a 9 man brick wall this year. we also don't have a coach that is mad at the athletic department because his agent has convinced him that he should have his very own paid athletic website (cough**francione**cough), and that he should in fact be able to dictate operations of the entire athletic department because he wins football games.

i'd say the program is a bit more grounded and stable right now then it was at that time.

That was an awesome display of football last night from 2 of the upper echelon ACC teams.

Way to set football back 40 years, Clemson and Wake.

No teams in the top 20 of the AP or USA Today poll. One team in the top 20 of the BCS.

Tough week last week when the 3 rated teams lost.

Its looking more and more like the BE and ACC winner will be paired up in the BCS Bowl.

Who gave up 17 to Syracuse?

Pitt, Northeastern, and Akron? Or do you mean, only scoring 17 against Syracuse while giving up 6 (aka 7 less than PSU)?

;)


Losing to ECU will forever haunt WVU and VPI this year.

No kidding. I sure as hell didn't see this ECU nosedive coming.

Well to be fair, they did lose their best and most experienced LB in week 3. He seems to have been a key component of their D that they flexed in the first 2 weeks.

Still, the loss to NC State was horrible.
