Go from best to worst and tell me who wins on a neutral field.
Bama vs Clempson
Georgia vs Syracuse
LSU vs Virginia
Kentucky vs Virginia Tech
Texas AM vs Miami
Mississippi State vs Duke
Florida vs Boston College
Auburn vs Georgia Tech
USC vs NC State
Vandy vs Wake
Mississippi vs FSU
Missouri vs Pittsburgh
Tennessee vs Louisville
Arkansas vs UNC
Seriously, South Carolina would lose to Clempson Clempson and I guess possibly 1-2 other games at the most. 11-1 to 9-3 would be the season. Most likely 10-2.
You can change the order around some after the first 2 listed, but it would be same result. I seriously don't see more than 1 game the acc would win if you match them up from best to worst on a neutral field. Somebody would luck up and win one.
I am not a prognosticator, but i dont see a sure fire ACC win in the bunch.. Maybe FSU would play really really well and Beat ole Miss, Maybe Ga tech's crazy Triple option would screw up the Athletes at Auburn?? I truly do not see one game where vegas would have an ACCC team favored..
It's the reason why beating Clemson five times in a row didn't hurt them and didn't help us. They won the ACC during that, because how could they not? And we made it to Atlanta once and got destroyed.
There is absolutely no denying the fact that the ACC is down this year. I don't think any reasonable person would argue with you there. However, doesn't it bother you that you just rated South Carolina 9th out of 14 teams in your own rankings? Being a below average team in an above average conference doesn't make you a good football team. Actually, it makes it harder for you to get to the top.
Also, if you matched up those same schools over the last three to five years you would find a much different result. As a matter of fact, the ACC was 16-12 against the SEC from 2014-2016
THIS year. That is what the OP is all about, . and yes South Carolina (so far this year) is the 7th or 8th best team based on results..

Exactly. They lose the Saturday after thanksgiving and still have a conference championship and BCS game to play. They could build even when they were below us. Now they are good but every week it’s like they play a D2 team. Partly because of their team but mostly because of their opponents.
