Than Conference USA... Yes, without a doubt. (NOTE: From 2000 through 2004 - 5 years - Louisville played in Conf USA)
 
And from 2005 on, name 3 schools in the Big East who were consistently as strong (on a national level) as VA Tech, Clemson and Florida State (ACC top tier) And remember Louisville doesn't count because they can't play themselves.
 
With the trio above, I'll give you WVU and that's it.
 
Then there's the second tier of ACC schools from 2005 on (Miami, GA Tech, and Wake - yes, Wake)
 
With this group, I'll give you Rutgers, Pitt and Cincy from the BE as "comparable" competition - so it's a "push" here with this group.
 
But the 3rd tier is where the ACC wins in a landslide. (NC State, UNC, UVA, and Maryland) After you take WVU, Pitt, Rutgers and Cincy out of the equation, there's just one BE team that's comparable, on a national level, to the ACC's 3rd tier since 2005 - USF.
 
UCONN and SU simply don't have the wins over that span.
 
Again, since Louisville couldn't play against themselves, they've played a much easier schedule than the ACC schools you listed have since 2000.
