College football followers without bias would be hard pressed to not admit that the ACC this season was the most successful and powerful. The problem with that though is that it is damn hard to find a college football follower without bias, and if you do 9 out of 10 of those folks aren't actually that into it.
Bottom line, the only thing that matters are the trophies in our conference members trophy cases. This year we have many, next year we will add to it.
4 conferences matter (ACC, SEC, B10, B12), and we will always bicker, never come to an agreement and the argument shall continue, this is why it is fun as hell.
Go Cards. Go ACC. Cut nets and continue to claim trophies.
