The state of college football

According to the ESPN class rankings (I understand these are just opinions and ratings don't necessarily mean much BUT this caught my attention) as of 1:00PM on National Signing Day all 14 SEC schools are in the top 40 classes in the country. Let that sink in...

My question to everyone is - will the move to the ACC help SU football get some/one of these kids??

I am still a very bitter fan about the move to the ACC (I admit). I don't see it helping football that much to make a difference and a lot of the other sports at SU (men's & women's bball, lax, softball, soccer) are doing very well. So this IS a football move - I ask all of ORANGENATION football fans - is this going to help the program? If it is how?? Recruits? More $$ (I assume that is the only reason)? I hope it isn't.

It will help. More recruits. More $ . But more importantly, we avoid how much it would have HURT to stay in the sinking ship that was/is the Big East.

Agree we had no choice... Not doing cartwheels over the move but it's better than the alternative...

i don't see how it wouldn't help? we had to get out of the Big East it was a sinking ship. Just think who kids would want to play against...FSU, Clemson, Miami, VT, UNC, or So Fla, Uconn, Cincinatti, Temple

Not to mention it gives us more exposure in recruiting areas other then the NE. This is a great move for Syracuse

It will help when compared to the alternative, which was staying in whatever the Big East is now and becoming completely irrelevant from a football standpoint.
