Talkin’ a little ‘Cuse at the top of the hour. Mentioned our ND game as one of the two toughest games left for the Top-4 along with Clemson / BC.

Also talked about how everyone called the ACC weak and now they’ve got 4 teams in the Top-20... albeit all from the same division.

Good to be relevant. Congrats to the team for earning that.
 
The fact that people say the ACC is weak drives me nuts. It's a fall back. You know the B1G and SEC are really strong this year.

Big Ten West is a bigger dumpster fire than ACC Coastal ... No one in media talks about that.

Pac 12 South same thing
I've seen plenty of NORTHWESTERN !?!?!? reactions.
 
Joey Galloway actually talked about the big 10 being weak last night. Outside of that though there hasn’t been any talk of it.

Nearly 30% of the B1G is part of this list.

The ACC is perceived as weak because 3 of the 4 top 20 teams aren't named FSU, Miami, and VPI
Lot of truth to that.

People aren't sure how to interpret a conference when traditional powers field limited teams.
 
If it were FSU #13, Miami #14, and Virginia Tech #15 it would be a totally different view. Just because it's Syracuse and Boston College it doesn't register with not only the common fan, but the analysts. The thing is neither program has done it with smoke and mirrors. Syracuse and BC have won by imposing their will on opponents. Everybody knows how Syracuse is going to win. The blueprint is right there. Big offense, defense that will allow some points, but will create turnovers and sacks, and elite ST's. We probably have a top 5 punter and top 3 FG kicker in the country. That's insane. Punt coverage has fallen off a little bit the last couple games, but the Hof and Szmty have had all-american seasons.
As for BC they are going to beat you by running the ball down your throat and stout defense. That's far better than Kentucky and LSU who strictly relies on defense, and UCF who has played absolutely nobody at all.
