This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Bottom half is an understatement. The ACC has rarely by tdiddy07
ever had two very good programs at the same time. Since FSU joined in 1992, they've only had five seasons with two top ten teams:
1998 (FSU 3, Ga. Tech 9)
2007 (Va. Tech 9, BC 10)
2013 (FSU 1, Clemson 8) - 2012 was close as they were both 10 and 11
2014 (FSU 5, Ga. Tech 8)
2016 (Clemson 1, FSU 8). This was one of the conference's best seasons ever with five ranked teams).
FSU sustained success. Clemson has now sustained success. From 2012-2016, both programs were great. But other than that, you can't depend on any other program to be good. And you have an average of 3 ranked teams per year. The 75th percentile and down is generally clearly below the SEC or the Big Ten and probably also the Big 12.
