Dabo Swinney says the talent level between the SEC and ACC is “splitting hairs.”


Does he have a case?

Let's break it down between first day draft and second day. Then we'll talk. ACC has some great talent though

He MAY, and I emphasize May, have a case in terms of talent, but the reason the SEC is heads and shoulders better than the ACC is coaching. MUCH BETTER coaching, especially Head Coaches, in the SEC.

Dabo would shame PT Barnum with his endless self promotion. Dude sucks donkey dicks.

I wonder how that breaks down with offense/defense. I feel like all of Clemsons high picks are offense.

It's not splitting hairs, but there's a good bit of talent in the ACC, especially at FSU, Miami, and Clemson. UNC, VT, UVA, and GT have also produced a good bit of players over the past 10 or so years.

The coaching in the ACC is much worse on average, though.

Its true, Dabo has just has much talent as the HBC, and has gotten his arse kicked 5 years straight. Cant even break 20.

At the top (skill positions, high draft picks, etc.)? Maybe.
Overall? No, the Pac is closer but still not there.

What is it when you take Florida State and Clemson out of those numbers?

He has a point. The program levels aren't even remotely close though. Miami, for example, produces elite talent-as does UNC-but those programs don't aren't developed to take advantage of that talent.

The talent level between the SEC and Florida State, Clemson, Miami and a few from Virginia Tech, Louisville, Georgia Tech and North Carolina is "splitting hairs".

Don't know don't care. Doesn't matter.

However, Dabo is a bag of dicks.

If he does have a point, that means the difference is the coaches...
