[QUOTE="JDjacket, post: 105083, member: 1091"] The ACC also has played the most OOC games against power 5 opponents compared to other conferences over the last few years. It doesn't help us if we're not winning more of those games for sure, but the SEC wasn't exactly up against world beaters. They got some good ones (W over Wisconsin, W over Clemson, W over KSU). Wins over Texas Tech and WVU are decent. OU stomped Tennessee. ACC managed wins over OSU and USC. Top 10 OOC win is pretty good I'd say. 2 wins over ND (also 2 losses by cuse and UNC), but its not like the ACC was playing a bunch of sisters of the poor (UCLA, Nebraska, BYU pre QB injury) OOC. It was a lot of middle of the pack/bottom ACC teams that managed some of those wins (and got the losses). Mizzou lost to friggin Indiana and leads the SEC East... The SEC definitely knows how to pick their matchups so their flag bearers are playing the few OOC games they play against power foes. Also, the SEC rarely plays OOC games at another teams stadium. Home or neutral only. And when playing teams like WVU and Wisconsin... Atlanta and Houston are basically home for the SEC. Clemson and UGA did a home/home and the home team won both times. The SEC doesn't need to schedule aggressive bc "their conference is already so tough", proven by those few big OOC games they win. Its kind of circular logic for them. Credit them for making sure they give themselves every advantage they can. I won't disagree that the SEC is the best until proven otherwise, but this massive gap that used to exist doesn't. Its a lot closer than it once was. [/QUOTE]
