Sorry, "powerhouse" was my word; meaning yes, WVU has a good football team but in my opinion the ACC made the right selection of SU and Pitt.
 
------------------------------------- 
 
Last year, WVU lost to SU 49-23 on Oct 21.
UL won 38-35 on 11/5.

WVU beat Cinn 24-21 on 11/12.
WVU beat Pitt 21-20 on 11/25.
WVU beat USF 30-27 on 12/1.

Their last 3 conference games were won by 7 points: almost the definition of [COLOR=#ff0000]parity[/COLOR], in a conference assumed to be uncompetitive.

Their huge win over Clemson 70- 33 was a shocker; I guess that's what makes college football interesting.

------------------

The ACC selection of SU and Pitt wasn't about BB schools vs football schools.

It was a selection based on expanding the ACC market footprint in the northeast and selecting teams that have the potential to contribute; it was also about affinity: selecting a university the ACC schools want to be associated with.
