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

30 outliers in the past draft.

UNC had the same number as Clemson, BC had only one less.

This link will give Dabo the answers he seeks.

It breaks down the SEC vs. ACC head to head by decade, by year, and by individual game result all the way back to 1953.

FSU consistently finishes top 5 and top 10 every year. Clemson had decent classes just recently.

now schools like Wake Forest, Duke, Boston College, Georgia Tech, Virginia, NC State, UNC have recruiting classes in Top 50-100 range every year. Even Vandy, Kentucky, and Arkansas out-recruit them.

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


Then shouldn't you take out LSU and Bamas numbers?

In one year? How many picks had they have in the first 3 rounds in the last 5 drafts?

The ACC is top heavy.

Kentucky signed a top 20 class.


It's really not a discussion. The Best ACC team in years struggled against arguably the worst SEC champ in years and won by luck.

Nope.
Let me know when our champion loses 5 games or the SECCG has a 7 loss team.

Couple of points:
1. Dabo needs to be quiet and do his talking on game day. Take care of winning the USC game. Until then...shh.

2. The ACC has closed the gap in talent the last 3-5 years. The NFL draft is the proof.

3. In general, not only are the SEC coaches better a key advantage for the SEC is the quality of the ASSISTANT coaches - particularly the coordinators. Money talks.

Please don't take that as a knock on auburn as I meant no disrespect by it. But I definitely would take UGA 2012, LSU 2011, Auburn 2010, ect over y'all last yeR. That's what I mean by it. And that FSU is easily the best ACC in probably the last ten 10 years.

Clemson and FSU are the only ACC schools that have enough talent to be competitive every year in the SEC. Miami and VT have years where they could but they would not even be top 8 in the SEC this year. Outside of those 4 there is not much in the ACC.

But UGA 2012 was The second best team in the country last year. Quit taking shite so personally and take off those shitty colors glasses and stop trying to argue. That UGA team was loaded.
