Yup. That's why WVU should have been #10, 11 or 12 in 2004. ** -- Calamitous 09/19/2018 9:03PM

True. And they seem to be making some good progress with football. -- HOO86 09/22/2018 11:59AM
Not sure adding Temple would prevent the ACC from ceding the Philly market -- VTHokie2000 09/22/2018 7:56PM
It would be the same as the Atlanta market. -- HOO86 09/23/2018 12:23PM
Clemson and FSU would be part of the decision. -- HOO86 09/20/2018 1:36PM
WRT the Big Ten, UMD is not a flagship football program for the conference -- VTHokie2000 09/20/2018 2:40PM
The concern that Clemson and FSU had in 2012 has diminished. -- HOO86 09/20/2018 2:56PM
My point has nothing to do with how often Clemson and FSU have to travel -- VTHokie2000 09/20/2018 3:15PM
The key for FSU and Clemson is to finish seasons with 1 loss or less. -- HOO86 09/20/2018 3:24PM
Right now that is the trend for teams looking to earn a Playoff bid -- VTHokie2000 09/20/2018 3:54PM
Winning the basketball national championship will create a reputation. -- HOO86 09/20/2018 5:00PM
