Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 928713, member: 622"] Lou, The perception right now is that the northern teams suck. Pick one of the four northern teams that most are placing together and if they were competing for the ACC title, they would be disfavored for having played the other three northern teams. This is more of an issue if the team is under consideration for the playoffs. If you think that BC would not be disparaged even assuming they beat Miami for the ACC title due to lack SOS then you are not thinking like a playoff committee member. You will not change the bias against northeastern football overnight. You "concede" it will be easier for Syracuse to compete for an ACC title because of your own bias. For the record, some biases are earned and Northeastern football has underplayed the last 15-20 years. It will take several years to destroy that bias just like sports writers crowning the SEC annually before CFB starts. [/QUOTE]
