There's a lot of truth in what you're saying

The average ranking of teams in the ACC since 2011 is roughly the same as the average ranking of teams in the Big Least in its last two years of football existence. As a conference, from top to bottom, the ACC ranks 5th in average ranking since 2011.

Maybe the Alliance will help with media negotiations in some way, although I still fail to see what B1G gets out of this arrangement. I honestly think the money will come by improving the on-field quality of our product and fully implementing existing media deals. We'll never catch the SEC in revenue, but their financial advantage won't reach those worst case scenarios if we can beat them on the field. Clemson and Miami had their chances and failed to get it done. We've got to get better, all of us.

ACC football probably lapped in $, Clemson, Miami & FSU lose, is the ACC -- Stech 09/06/2021 08:53AM

Other than the ACC worthies dissolving and escaping the conference -- lawhokie 09/07/2021 1:19PM

I hear you, what are the chances that will happen on a scale of 1-10. 10 -- Stech 09/07/2021 7:33PM

I'd say a 2 out of 10 that the ACC could get the votes for that... -- lawhokie 09/07/2021 7:37PM

That's the way I see it too, ESPN/SEC don't want to pay for those schools -- Stech 09/07/2021 7:56PM

In other words, hope that VT gets an SEC invitation when the ACC blows up.. -- lawhokie 09/08/2021 12:33PM

If it blows up, I feel very confident we will get one, I am more worried -- Stech 09/08/2021 12:52PM

Hokieball… -- Stech 09/06/2021 8:35PM

The answer to your question is “no”. Not it its -- 133193Hokie 09/06/2021 7:08PM

In some ways I feel like the ACC has already been doing it for years. -- HOO86 09/06/2021 4:18PM

True it’s been there, but not apx double with the potential to triple. -- Stech 09/06/2021 4:43PM

I'm curious what the move will be. -- hokieball 09/06/2021 2:29PM

I think once the smoke clears, the Big12 will be in the Alliance -- Truthahn 09/07/2021 6:08PM

The next move is the playoff vote, if expanded, ND & SEC beat the ACC badly -- Stech 09/06/2021 4:52PM

I think the Alliance was #1 an agreement to not poach each other -- HokieAl 09/06/2021 3:51PM

Step three is to invite Utah into ACC Men's Lacrosse -- Truthahn 09/07/2021 6:24PM

The Pac-12 is pretty safe since its out on an island. -- tarheelblue 09/06/2021 2:55PM

Survive, yes. Compete and thrive, big disadvantage ** -- GT Hokie 09/06/2021 12:36PM

No. Not in the long term. Is the Alliance the answer? ** -- VT ChemE 1986 09/06/2021 12:14PM

There's a lot of truth in what you're saying -- obguthr 09/06/2021 10:13AM

Its week 1. Clemson played UGA even except for pick 6. FSU is much -- HboroughHokie 09/06/2021 10:11AM

Yep it’s week 1, but the $ problem is about rankings/ratings, opposite of -- Stech 09/06/2021 11:27AM

The $$$ problem is not solvable IMO. And more $$$ to spend is not a -- HboroughHokie 09/06/2021 2:05PM

The ratings were awesome. All that matters in the end. ** -- Concord Dan 09/06/2021 1:27PM

Yeah, playing Bama to start the season is a waste of time. ** -- reestuart 09/06/2021 10:55AM

That kickoff game is even worse than I expected -- HokieAl 09/06/2021 10:45AM

The SEC usually sets up an easy win for Bama to start the season -- EDGEMAN 09/06/2021 12:08PM

I remember when we played Bama in the chicken bowl. I thought it was -- IB4TECH 09/06/2021 3:10PM
