It's not at all hard to figure out. Firstly, one game is missing, Clemson beat Alabama to give the ACC 4 wins. Now look at the match ups game by game. Two of the ACC losses were by the worst team in the conference. None of the worst SEC teams played in any of those games. Where are Arkansas, Ole Miss, or Tennessee? The SEC wins came with their best teams playing mostly mediocre teams from the ACC (the top 3 SEC teams from each division vs the 3rd, 6th, and 7th teams in the Atlantic and 2nd, 3rd in the coastal). ACC wins came against the 1st and 2nd best teams in the SEC west and 4th in the SEC east. So, take out LSU and substitute Arkansas, and Miami, as bad as they were this year, wins that game. Or put us in Louisville's place against Kentucky and I feel good about that game. A mediocre Virginia blanked a mediocre South Carolina.

If you want to tell me the SEC is a little better this year, fine. I'll give you that. If you want to tell me there is a chasm between the two, no way. Clemson more than proved themselves by not only going undefeated in the better division of the ACC, they beat 3 SEC bowl teams, including their best, the team that is likely 3rd (while Clemson was still figuring out their qb situation), and a mediocre one that is an in state rival. It's almost the same as when we practically won the Big 12 basketball championship on our way to the NC in 2003.
