Since we don’t have much to crow about I’ll poke fun at the ACC. When will they have a team that can win a CFB playoff game? Not this year. Do they even have a team that deserves a bid? I don’t see an ACC team being relevant in the next few seasons. Maybe one of them kills it in the portal but I don’t see a team from the ACC competing for a natty any time soon.

At least we can claim a 24-11 victory against the 14th best team in the ACC (Virginia Tech, 3-8).

Just because the ACC beats each other up, it just means the conference is deep. Miami’s only losses are to Louisville and SMU. They beat
Notre Dame. SMU looks like a top 10 team after thrashing Louisville. They had a very young defense early this year that had now come together. Watch Georgia Tech beat Georgia and then what are all the idiots going to say who say smack because of money for CBS and the SEC

It's hilarious that James Madison and/or Tulane keeps ACC out of playoffs

I will say that we would have been a middle of the road ACC team had we been in their league, just like Clemson. Middle of the road in ACC, or basement in the SEC, the view sucks.

ACC is really where South Carolina belongs.

I agree 100% with you.

I watched Pitt vs GT last night, or at least a large portion of the game, and neither could beat us on our worst day.

We did not pull away from a very very bad Va Tech team until late in the 4th quarter this year, so I'm having doubts about your assessment.
That was the Very First game, sentimental game for Beamer. Va Tech was Pumped, not knowing how bad their season would get. No ACC team would win more than 2 games in that Stretch of Vandy, Missouri, Uk, LSU, Oklahoma, Bama Ole Miss and A&M

Thats right, and that was the point.. The post was that SC could beat GT and Pitt on SC's worst day,
Nothing about a stretch of 8 games.

SC vs GT and SC vs Pitt would be competitive games, not saying SC would beat both, but saying it would be, by Vegas, a less than 4 or 5 point spread!

We have to beat that school upstate, then we can revisit this thread topic.

Guess we might should shut the hell up about the ACC. We suck sooooooo bad, we can't poke fun at pretty much anyone.

Georgia would beat us by 30, and they beat GT by one score. Pitt and GT would both beat us handily.

Louisville smoked UK, FSU throttled Alabama, Clemson doubled us up and big bad Georgia barely beat Georgia tech. The SEC has become mid. I promise you put any SEC team in front of Ohio st or Indiana and heck even Notre Dame and they'll get smoked.

The "ACC is a joke" threads would be more tolerable if our team was competitive. Our 4-6 team just lost to Clemson, the 8th place team in the ACC. We should keep our mouths shut.

SEC! SEC! SEC! At least we can cheer for Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Texas A&M.

No need to point fingers, we couldn't win in the ACC either.

Disagree, and I knew these posts would be coming... the 'we shouldn't talk' posts. They come up every year we suck or lose to clemson. Just because we suck doesn't mean we can not point out others suck. In fact if anyone knows what sucking looks like, it's we as Gamecock fans. If we say it sucks, bank it.

Time will tell with playoffs. What SC does vs Clemson doesn't change my mind that the ACC doesn't have a team that should qualify for playoffs.

I cant cheer for Bama or UGA for anything, regardless of conference affiliation.

Finishing 3rd in ACC doesn't make you a playoff team. Texas has a bigger argument to make it than Miami. Texas will be left out....
Mr. Nick Saban disagrees with your assessment.

“I think if Miami finds their way into the playoff, they will be one of the most dangerous teams in the playoff,” Saban said on Saturday’s College GameDay. “With Carson Beck, the offensive line they have, the skill guys they have, the defense they have, I don’t want to say they underachieved by losing two games, but if they get in this playoff, they’re going to be the most dangerous team that anybody has to play because of the talent level they have.

I would tell Mr Saban what I told you.

I stand by my original post. The ACC can’t compete right now with the Big 10 or SEC in having national championship contenders in football. Name a team in the ACC that will make the semifinals next year? Does anyone really think they will have a team that good ? And even if they do, it will only be one team. I know we have our own issues but that’s another conversation for another thread. I’d start one but don’t have a couple of free hours right now.

ACC is a joke. As bad as Cocks we’re, they would be middle of the pack in ACC IMO

Incorrect... The ACC can kiss it after the antics that caused us to leave in the first place. And Clemson can kiss it for not doing what they said they'd do, and leave with us.
Best Urban Legend ever out of Richland County. S.Car thought the grass was greener and was too impatient to let the lawsuit play out regarding the elevated enrollment standards the ACC was attempting to require. Trying to impart anything on Clemson regarding that time is babytown frolics...
