ACC - Conference Discussion

11 ACC teams in post season bowls including two BCS teams.

I'm still not convinced the ACC is fully invested in football as a whole but that should make for a nice payday when the dust settles.

Have to figure a few of those teams will lose money on their bowl games. And a couple others will probably just break even.

Possibly, but:

Miami plays in Orlando ($2.275M)
VT plays in El Paso ($2M)
UNC plays in Charlotte ($1.7M)
GT plays in Nashville ($1.8375M)
BC plays in Shreveport ($1.15M)
UMd plays in Annapolis ($1M)
Pitt plays in Detroit ($750K)
Cuse plays in Houston ($1.7M)
Clemson plays in Miami ($17M)
FSU plays in Pasadena ($18M)

Pitt looks to be a loser, and even though it's in their backyard I'm sure UMd will squander as much ACC money as it can as it walks out the back door. BC is probably a break even though they could bring all 12 of their fans on the team charter. The rest of the payouts are pretty good really and the total is >$45M.

A second BCS team from a conference does not get the full bowl payout, so Clemson's contribution to the ACC share will be like $6M not $17M.

If it's like the Big10, everyone gets equal shares of the payouts. So really, for their bowl, Pitt is only getting 1/14th of $750K. Which ain't a whole lot and won't cover the costs of travel and all the money they will owe the Little Caesars people for unsold tickets. Even if they received all 750K, I think they would prob lose money if it weren't for the ACC distribution.

So I don't know if those last few bowls are actually a net gain for the conference. After expenses everyone's share might be slightly higher if a couple teams sat home. Coaches obviously don't want that.

most people probably feel the same way but, duke reminds me of ucf this season...they don't look like they belong there but somehow they stick around

Someone has created a twitter feed dedicated to the hope that every Coastal team finishes 4-4 in conference play this year.

You gotta admit...it would be epic...hell, even a four way tie would be awesome.

It would be epic and yet... would anyone (other than ACC fans) even notice?

Saw this tweet today - "According to f/+, ACC has 8 of the 30 best teams. SEC with 6, PAC and B12 with 5, B1G with 4."

f/+ is a computer ranking system that uses relative offensive and defensive performance to determine strength - http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/feiplus. FWIW, FSU is currently 8th in f/+ (though we were #1 most of last season).
