NCAA Football, 2016

I watched at a Clemson bar, and there were a few points (including the end) that some strong "ACC ACC" chants were going. Pretty damn awesome. Best conference in the land.

I was happy about Clemson winning until I read this.  Thanks.

If you hear Dorsey telling you that the ACC is the "best conference in the land," there is only one conclusion you can reach: that the ACC is NOT the best conference in the land!

When the MIGHTY TEXAS LONGHORNS continually lose seven games a season while being in your conference that is clear evidence you are the best. There is no other possible explanation for this

I knew the officiating was gonna be shitty when I saw the Big12 dude doing the coin toss.  I did get better in the second half but in the first half Clemson kinda got screwed on a few calls.

The acc sure did pop the big 10s cherry. An fsu team that only went 5-3 in conference beat Michigan in the orange and Clemson humiliated Ohio state.

How's that popping their cherry?

That's Dorsey you are responding to.  He doesn't have to make sense when he talks football; in fact, he might not even be able to make sense while talking about football.

Let 'im woof.  It might be the only year he can do so in his lifetime.

I get cheering for your team - but who the hell cares if a rival team in your own conference wins?  They're your rival, dammit!

[Eddie Teach]

It reflects well on your team too. At least the team that beat them in conference aren't total bums.

Good point. The Big 10 was 3-7 in the college football postseason and lost all 3 of the major bowls it was in. That is the worst of the P5 conferences. The ACC didn't so much pop the cherry of the Big 10 as they were a part of a train run on the conference by all college football.

It is a horrible scourge the SEC has unleashed on College Football. Their conference propaganda became a recruiting thing. 'Come play in the great SEC! Oh sure you will be playing for Vanderbilt but SEC SEC SEC'

Conference preference wasn't invented by the SEC.  It was the joint creation of the Big Ten and Pac Eight back when they decided that only their teams were worthy enough to play in the Rose Bowl.

Because nothing excites fan interest like an abstract bureaucratic structure for scheduling and revenue sharing.

Hooray Commissioner Smith and his mighty board of directors!

I'd say that the ACC had the best year overall of any conference.  That doesn't necessarily make them the best conference.

Actually, the Big Ten is also an academic conference.

So even more excitement!
