that's a wild take coming from an acc fan. we see miami and clemson on the schedule and yeah, those are big names, but what have they done lately? clemson isn't the juggernaut they were five years ago, and miami is perpetually "back" until they lose to a team they shouldn't. the rest of that league is a total crapshoot every single season. you're talking about a conference where duke and wake forest are considered tough outs. meanwhile, we're over here in the gliac grinding every sinle week in a league that's way more physical top to bottom. our non-conference is built on playing real football teams, not just buying a win against an fcs school and calling it a day. the acc coasts on reputation from a decade ago while the rest of us are actually building something. come up to the superior dome and try to run your offense in november, then talk to me about schedule strength.
