hack Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 ... besides every notre dame game the they pimp... Virginia Tech at Nebraska Last September, when Bo Pellini was the curator of national champion LSU's defense, the Tigers destroyed Virginia Tech 48-7. This September Pellini, now the head coach of a Cornhusker team that finished 114th in scoring defense in 2007, will have his work cut out for him. The Huskers are at least a couple of seasons away from being a BCS threat, but with no real challenges in-conference (Is the ACC the worst of the BCS conferences?), they and their Red Sea throng pose the greatest threat to Frank Beamer's BCS hopes. "Is the ACC the worst of the BCS conferences?" does anyone pay attention to the big 10 (plus 1)? Quote Link to comment

Huskerballz Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Can't wait for this game. Can't wait to get to a BCS bowl either. Quote Link to comment
GI56 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 ACC is worse than the Big Ten by far. Quote Link to comment
Hokie Nation Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Our conference is terrible. We are the only quality team in our conference. Boston College- Below average without Matt Ryan Maryland- Below Average Duke- Awful North Carolina-Awful Georgia Tech- Average Florida State- Rebuilding Miami- Rebuilding NC State- Below Average Virginia- Average Wake Forest- Average Clemson- Overated like always Virginia Tech- Down from previous years, but probably the conference champs The Big 10 (11) has Ohio State who might go to their 3rd straight BCS championship game, Illinois who is improving, Underated Wisconson, and in a few years with Rodriguez, Michigan.

V-Tech should win the ACC outright. I'm interested to see how far Miami can go with those young recruits this year. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I can't wait for this game as this is going to be our first big time test of the season. Quote Link to comment
nhuskers5 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I think Wake Forest could give them a scare, but its Virginia Techs conference to lose Quote Link to comment

admo Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Super powers Miami & FSU have not done better than .500 in their own conference the past two years. Va Tech is strong year in and year out. And that's it. (BosColl was good b/c of their 1st round QB) I'd like to go on record here.. The ACC sucks. Although it's prolly a universal broken record. Quote Link to comment
Hokie Nation Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 BYU @ Washington that's funny... Their is no way that BYU will go to a BCS bowl this year. Their schedule is a lot harder than Boise State in 2006, and Hawaii in 2007. 2008 BYU Schedule Northern Iowa at Washington UCLA Wyoming at Utah State New Mexico at TCU UNLV at Colorado State San Diego State at Air Force at Utah Quote Link to comment

Husker_x Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Being as I live in Big 10 country, I tend to edge towards them as the weaker conference, even if the numbers don't really coincide. You've got 9-10 teams (depending on the year) that slaughter each other routinely, and then you've got Ohio State who humiliates themselves in the national championship two years running against faster, more talented SEC teams. I'm actually hoping the Buckeyes make it to the NC again this year and get slaughtered again. Maybe then we could have some serious movement on a plus 1 system or something like it.
