Writer's Opinion Comparing the ACC to the SEC

This is a decent write up because it has some facts in it. The biggest argument against the ACC is that they have not had a top 5 team. However, in a court of law with attorneys this would not hold up, in my opinon, because you are trying to determine the quality of the league based on all 12 teams. Think about it. Is the Pac 10 the best conference in football because of USC? What about the Big 10 and Ohio State?

ACC Football Preview Series: Preseason All-ACC Teams FanSided.com A Sports Blog Network:
"The ACC has been down over the past few years, but I’m not so sure down is the right word. There is no dominating top 5 team. When Boston College along with superpowers, Florida State and Miami joined the conference, it was suppose to challenge the SEC, but with the recent struggles of those two teams, it hasn’t. According to the last few NFL Drafts, there is more talent in the conference than any other conference in the country. The ACC had four of the first nine picks in the NFL Draft and 9 of the first 45. The SEC had more total picks than the ACC (37 to 33) but the quality favored the ACC. The ACC has had 158 draft picked over the last four years, one less than the SEC. The talent in the ACC is very spread out. The worst team in the league is Duke and they have one of the leagues two or three best Quarterbacks and placed five players on my first or second team. In the ACC, anyone can beat anyone in any given week."
