Granted,the SEC is the top conference in the country.But,what is the advantage of playing in that conference? A better chance to go to the NFL? Nope. VT and the ACC puts plenty of players there. A better chance at winning a MNC? Maybe if you are at Bama,LSU,or Auburn. USC is ,and will continue to be, a mid level SEC school with occasional spurts. VT may never win a MNC,but the odds are more in their favor with less competition in conference and marque games in the next few years against Alabama,Ohio State,and Wisconsin. How about education? The latest US News Report ranks VT 71 and USC 111. I speak from personal experience about USC`s academic reputation. My daughter was a highly recruited volleyball player several years ago.USC was on her early and she really liked the coaches. She was leaning towards them early in the recruiting process.As we did more analysis,it became clear that USC did not compare academically with other schools recruiting her.Now,Rolin may not be concerned about that.But,speaking as a parent,it was a factor with me.An athlete is just one injury away from being a regular student.

Frankly, ACC football is roughly on a par with c-usa or the mac. Why any true competitor would elect to play in that conference is beyond me, assuming they have other options.
Maybe its those electric atmospheres at such college football icons as BC, Wake Forest and Duke. Oh, and don't forget those upcoming epic showdowns against Syracuse.
Oh, and NO ACC team will win the MNC unless they go unbeaten. Because frankly, your conference garners ZERO respect.
