ACC 2nd behind SEC in # of players drafted

[Saboteur]

The Big preTENd ended in 4th place and it's numbers are Ohio State dominated.
But the ACC is a damn fine conference.
Their PR department should jump all over this.
Maybe they can get Kirk Herbstreit look alike to parody the the Big preTENd.

it just amazes how sooooooo many times the big 10 is exposed as an attendance/popularity only league and is not the first or even the second best football conf. it is just big.

It is looking more clearer every year, Jim Delany has set up a Great Conference in Revenues but they are putting a Second Rate Product except for Ohio State and Michigan and then a number of Second and Third Tier Schools come and go.

The way they set up their Out Of Conference Schedules combined with their Divisions and Inter-Conference Schedule is about unbalanced as it comes resulting in BIG PRETEND TEAMS playing many lighweights.

1. For example, The one thing they Big Ten has not been able to correct is Dominance of still being the Big Two in Buckeyes & Wolverines that end the season as the Premier Game over every other remaining 12 Teams.

1a. Item, The Conference really disrespect the other Programs even when they are better than Michigan and Ohio State. Look what happen to MSU-IOWA back in 2015 barely beat each other but the Winner was Noncompetitive dud losing to Bama 38-0 while Clemson barely lost to Bama for NCS in a terrific game.

1b. In 2016, Ohio State was chosen over Big Ten Champion and they were blew out by Clemson 31-0 another Non-Competitive Game and Clemson barely beat Bama in another Great Game.

2. The Big Ten has too many Bottom Feeders giving the Top Big Ten Two UM & OSU, Big Ten 2nd & 3rd Tiers Wisconsin, Nebraska, Penn State, Iowa, Northwestern, and MSU mixed it with some of biggest Losers in FBS Football in Minnesota, Rutgers, Maryland, Indiana, Illinois, and Purdue.

2a. This pads Big Ten Top Teams Results unlike in SEC, ACC, and Pac-12 that have far more Balanced Leagues that play each other more often than OOC Big Ten intended to produce more 10 Win Teams that End up Duds in CFB Playoffs and Bowl Games too.

3. This is a Trend not a Aberration and due to the Bottom Feeders attempts to get better and being fodder to Big ten Two and 2nd-3rd Tier Programs. Final Example, the Winner of the Big Ten Championship since 2011 is Wisconsin 2-2, MSU 2-1, OSU-1-1, Penn State 1-0, Iowa 0-1 and Nebraska 0-1?

3a. Since 2014, SEC's Bama ACC's FSU & Clemson have been far more competitive within their own Conferences challenge and NCS Playoff and only Ohio State won one NCs by a TD against Bama, the other Big Ten Invites, Pac-12 and Big-12 have been blown away in NCS Uncompetitive Invite Bowl Games.

4. This is because SEC-ACC dominate the Best Recruiting now in the South in Florida, Geotrgia, Carolinas, and Virginia. USC dominates California, UTexas and OU dominate Texas, and Big Ten has Midwest & East declining numbers whereby Michigan and OSU get the Best & Other big-10 get the rests that are not as good a SEC-ACC!

The SEC, ACC & PAC-12 are producing the better NFL Players except for the Big Two in the Big Pretend. Get used to it! When the Big Ten can put Four Teams in the Top 10 and lose all their Bowls Games except against MAC you know that is a padded win Conference not playing the Best except by B-10 Incest's and against even more Big-Ten Rests weaklings.

Yet, the CFB Invitation committee can't ignore the TV Ratings for including them in CFB NCS Invitation no matter how many duds the Big Ten produces. Big Ten Two can Mid-Competitive Teams and Big Ten 5 to 6 Weaklings can't keep up against SEC=SACC Coaches, Players & Recruits due to their Instinctual, Historical, and Incest Scheduling and keeping MAC Games!

Paterno ended the Historiacl Pitt Series, Nebraska ended Historical Oklahoma Series, and Texas ended A&M Series so they could win more games against weaker Competitors that makes them weaker in the Long run, while SEC-ACC increase their OOC together and end up strong near the end of every season dominating B-10, P-12, and B-12.

There is more talent in the south. The population of the country is changing. The ACC is more substance than hype in comparison to the Big Pretend and the Big 12.

They'll just tell you that more of their underclassmen could leave early but they are so committed and dedicated to their dear old university that they stay on longer.

Likely much of that is bunk but some is probably true. Which is actually great for them and their fans, it certainly irks me as a fan when our best players leave early. However, I totally realize why it makes financial sense for them to do so. B10 players definitely aren't any more financially selfless than players of any other conference, so it just forces you to conclude that they must be getting some SWEET under the table deals to stay on ...
