Posted similarly before - The ACC’s issue is that as Clemson rose - VT, Miami and then a bit later, FSU fell off. Parity has been the conference’s own worst enemy. The ACC needs these 4 programs at their best - at the same time - meaning only losing to each other in conference play and winning OOC games. 4 top 10ish teams. Would be awesome. Sprinkle in teams like NC State, Louisville, UNC or Pitt with great seasons from time to time. This is the on field performance model that has thrust the SEC and Big10 into media darlings and $s. SEC - Bama/LSU/Georgia w/Auburn and Florida (not too recently w/Florida) Big10 - Ohio St/Michigan w/ Penn St being in the mix and a special season from a Mich St, or Wisc or to a lesser extent an Iowa every now and then. If not - this could get ugly. Got to give the Big12 some credit here - they are being creative and trying things. Colorado and I expect Utah/Arizona/ASU will follow in succession. Especially if that other info posted about Oregon/OSU ends in more movement (with Wash to probably follow quickly). Floodgates appear open on this next round…
