ACC title game: an epic shipment of fail?
After Georgia defeated Georgia Tech Saturday and South Carolina routed Clemson, punsters are now referring to Saturday's ACC title game as the battle for fourth place in the SEC East.
Georgia's 30-24 upset of Tech at Grant Field knocked the Jackets out of the top 10. South Carolina's rout banished Clemson from the rankings all together. Those two outcomes removed a lot of the luster from the ACC title matchup.
The SEC title game, meanwhile, will feature the top two teams in the country: Florida and Alabama.
The situation prompted this note from Paul, at the always entertaining georgiasportsblog.
Exiting Bobby Dodd Stadium at Mark Richt Field, I couldn't help but wonder if the ACC Championship is even real. It's beginning to feel like a marketing ploy on par with New Coke, Amway or Suffrage. Seriously, if no one goes to the game and no one watches on TV, doesn't that put the entire tree falling in the woods theory to the test? Have you ever seen the ACC Championship football trophy? Have you ever met anyone who has attended the event? Me either. If there were ever a less purposeful gathering of overhyped fail than you'll find in Tampa this coming weekend, I can't name it.

If winning one game defines your season then congrats to UGA. Tech on the other hand still has business to attend to.
Tech kicks off this Satuday at 8:00, tell me again what time the UGA game starts???
I will be in Tampa Saturday if he would like to meet me.
And by the way, Tech is # 10 in the BCS. I have been looking but so far have not been able to locate UGA in any of the polls. I think they dropped out after week 5 and haven't been seen since....
UGA week by week - 13, 21, 23, 21, 18, -, -, -, -, -, -, -, - (one more game to play, if any bowls will have them)
Tech week by week- 15, 15, 14, -, 25, 22, 19, 12, 11, 10, 7, 7, 10 (two more games to play)
It is however the first win for UGA over a top 10 team in two seasons.
You sound like a typical SEC fan (Slugs & Ex Cons).......
P.S. I'm not degrading your win by any means, job well done by CMR. Can't say the same for you.
Interesting how tech barely manages to beat UGA like once every 6 or 7 years, then their fans get all arrogant. Amusing.
UGA deserved to win this past Saturday. They played their best game of the season. It took them playing that well to beat Tech. Tech played one of the worst games of the season. The best team did not win. I was at the game and their was not one UGA fan in Bobby Dodd Stadium that did not think Tech would march down the field and win. Matter of fact, I bet every UGA fan watching on TV thought the same thing.
ACC VS SEC
Boy what a bunch of bull.
The only powers in the SEC are Flordia and Alabama. Everyone in the conference is average at best.
The best teams in the ACC are Tech and Virginia Tech. Just like the SEC everyone else is average. Tech went 2-1 against the SEC this year. In the last 2 years they are 5-1.
