This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Correct. On average that group tops any of the bottom 80% by btd

of the ACC. GT, NC St, UNC, Wake, Duke, and VT are going to be weak teams physically 99% of the times you play them and very rarely are legitimate top 25 teams.

To Jvan's point -- in the Holtz era we used to view playing teams ranked 16-25 as MAC games. We were absolutely shocked if we lost to any of them.

We have downgraded our schedule dramatically the past 15 years. We now talk about having to play Clemson and OSU in the same year like it is insane -- plus USC.

We used to play USC and Michigan nearly every single year, plus Penn State or a similar quality team, then a SEC team (LSU, UT, etc) and Miami at minimum every single year.
