ESPN has a complicated relationship with college football fans. There was the SEC Bias uproar of last year. ESPN’s Football Index was universally panned was laughable at best and downright dangerous at worst. I think we can say ESPN hasn’t always been the best friend to ACC football.
I’m going to give ESPN writer @DavidHaleESPN some credit today, though.
@DavidHaleESPN made a series of tweets today about ACC Football based on fact not narrative.
ACC was 6-6 vs. those two conferences last year incl wins over USC, UGA & Miss St. https://t.co/65lveVjwlT

I don’t disagree either. I think the SEC overall is better, but read the rest of the tweet.
I think #SEC is clearly > ACC, but it’s like any inroads another league makes gets explained away as luck. It’s a no-win
I agree SEC > ACC but it’s not the grand canyon between. People act like SEC—>ACC is same as ACC—>Sun Belt. True for all confs IMO. — David Hale (@DavidHaleESPN) August 23, 2015
And if anything is worth remembering about last 2 years is that B1G & ACC have last 2 champs. Great teams come from any league. — David Hale (@DavidHaleESPN) August 23, 2015
BCS/NY6 bowls last 3 years: ACC: 4-1 B1G: 4-2 Go5: 3-1* P12: 3-3 B12: 2-3 SEC: 1-6 *Includes Lville’s 2013 Sugar Bowl.

Over the last 2 years, stronger by roughly .5 players per team. Also, ACC Atlantic had more than any division. https://t.co/A3znvtq7tf
