Ryan4VT 4,557 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 (edited) I look for Duke and UVA both to get 6 wins. If Duke beats 2 of 3 they are in. The have Clemson Sat., VT next sat. and then UNC in the season finale. Boy wouldnt it be nice if 10 of the 12 teams got into a bowl? Hmm...

They have more teams than most conferences. ACC has 12 teams, Big 12 has 12, C-USA has 12 but lets be honest C-USA is awful, Big10 has 11 and the bigeast has 8 When certain conferences have more teams, I'd expect them to have more teams bowl eligible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBlueAlum 12 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 That's not suprising if you think about it. They have more teams than most conferences. ACC has 12 teams, Big 12 has 12, C-USA has 12 but lets be honest C-USA is awful, Big10 has 11 and the bigeast has 8 When certain conferences have more teams, I'd expect them to have more teams bowl eligible You have to look at by the percentage of teams then. The ACC will most likely have 75% (possibly 83%) of its teams eligible to play in bowl games, higher than any other conference. For a "weak" conference that is pretty surprising/impressive.

bluefieldRocks 14 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Like I said, I'd expect a confrence with more teams to have more teams bowl eligible . Sometimes thats not true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Orange 1 10 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Im an SEC homer, but I think overall the Big 12 is the best conferrence this year. They and the SEC will fill 2 of the BCS spots this year and very likely will represent the 2 teams in the Nat'l Championship this year.

I think the Big XII is the best this year myself, but there's no possible way they'll get 2 teams into the BCS title game. Just not happening.
