Old Big East to ACC

[AlaskaSU]

You ain't no Big East.
The season is not even a week old and Duke, NCS, Virginia, BC, V Tech, Miami and Maryland have all lost. Could be a league with 4 bids, three of which from the old Big East. The new neighborhood is a Potemkin village.

Over under 7.
Par for me thinking Duke, UNC, NC St., UVA , SU, ND, + one.
Maybe Pitt??
Hard to make this post. I have to check who plays in our conference!

lol I had to look at the schedule to post a question in another thread as to when our first tough away game is. With my limited knowledge of this year's ACC, I'm not sure if it's mid January, mid February(both vs former BE teams), or late February vs Duke, or how many total away games we have vs good teams. I know I have to wait until the first shift gets in to get the answers(although it's mostly opinion at the point anyhow), but I've been wondering if what the OP is saying is essentially true?

Like many new laws being passed using the emotion of "it's for the children", we have to repeat "it's for the football" as we force a grin. Or we could choose to believe the announcers who openly state the conference realignments are all about money. Being I can't change anything about it other than my reaction, right now I'm choosing to smile about it. If Syracuse is worth it's salt(no pun intended), it has a schedule that looks as winnable as any I can remember. EVER.

No. We are in the best conference again. Partially because we are in it.

For the last decade the ACC has been NC, Duke, and a bunch of mid-majors. This year calling that bunch "mid-majors" is being kind.

Duke lost to Kansas, Maryland lost by 1 to a really good UConn and NC State was in a tough game at Cincinnati. No excuse for the other ones, but not all losses are equal.

The Big East must have really sucked last year when we lost to Temple.
