Agree  100%
 
Over the last 10 years, the Big East's middle (4th, 5th, & 6th place teams) have been more comparable with the ACC's bottom third (save for Duke who had been quite weak until last season)
 
Sure the Big East's 1st and 2 place teams were no worse than any from the ACC, but top to bottom, the ACC has been much stronger.
 
It's the same argument everyone used in touting Big East basketball as the best - top to bottom there were no equals... The Big East hoops conference had 10-12 and sometimes 13 strong basketball programs in a given year with only DePaul and Rutgers being awful season after season. 
 
Well, the ACC has had 7-8 good or really good football teams each season over the past 10 years with only one team (Duke) that spent 90% of that time in the basement... Every other program competed for conference titles and made big bowls.
 
The Big East hasn't come close to that depth.
 
And worst of all, Syracuse was "the Duke" of the Big East for much of that time.
