Message: [QUOTE="HRE Otto IV, post: 5369058, member: 5685"] FSU, Clemson, VA Tech, NC State, Louisville don't really fit with the rest of the ACC. The last 6 real FB seasons SU avg attendance is 12th out of the 17 ACC teams. If we were in the current B12 we would be 14th out of 17. So we would be even further down the chain. The 13 teams ahead of us all avg more than our new capacity. The B12 has bigger schools. It will be harder to overcome that vs the ACC. Of the 3 private schools BYU is big and Baylor/TCU have Texas talent in their backyard. Now we wouldn't be the only ACC school to join the B12, which likely means we are even further down the chain and have even more programs to overcome. Which is why I would prefer the ACC remain separate from the B12. As long as we have an auto bid to the playoff, we have a better chance at being successful even if it means less TV $. The problem is we would need the other left behind schools to agree with that outlook and stick together. [/QUOTE]
