[QUOTE="bucknellbison31, post: 983823, member: 6654"] But here's the problem with using the rankings for this analysis: the rankings are self-justifying. Why is Alabama ranked high? They beat Ole Miss and LSU. Why is LSU good? They beat Mizzou. Why is Mizzou good? They beat Tennessee. My point is that these SEC teams' entire resumes are predicated on wins against other SEC teams, and the committee will rank a mediocre team (like Tennessee) to justify their other rankings up the chain. The same applies for the ACC; FSU's schedule is supposedly "weak" because the committee arbitrarily decides that teams like Clemson and Lousiville make up a "weak" schedule, while playing garbage teams like Arkansas and Vandy is a "gauntlet". I've become increasingly convinced that the ACC will collapse, but not because it is weak. I think the media narrative surrounding the conference is so influential and toxic that it will singlehandedly bring the conference down. [/QUOTE]
