The Big East Is A Beast In The East

We have reached the eastern finals once again in football and for the 7th year in a row a team from the Big East or it's ancestor the NEW will be playing in the eastern Finals in football. Hard to deny that the Big East regardless of lack of state titles is the best football conference east of I-85. 2006 Rocky Mount was beaten in the third round of the playoffs by a team west of I-85. Every year since the Big East has had a team either in the 3-A or 3-AA Regional game title game. 2007 Rocky Mount lost to Western Alamance. 2008 Rocky Mount lost to West Craven. 2009 Southern Nash lost to South Johnston. 2010 Hunt lost to Northern Guilford. 2011 Hunt lost to Northern Guilford. 2012 Hunt lost to Northern Guilford. 2013 Hunt is back again representing the Big East. Seven straight years the Big East has run up front with the fast cars but as yet to cross the state title finish line in first. I do believe that if you run up front enough you will win at some point and the Big East tries once more tonight. Hunt 11-3 travels to Southern Durham 12-2: Power against speed. Who's will prevails. This one is a coin flip game. Hunt's defense controlled Byrd but Southern provides more flexibility in their offense. I am flipping the coin in the air and it it says Hunt wins 24-22. Duke 10-2 playing Florida State for Duke the Orange Bowl is in site but who can believe Duke can win. FSU is a 28.5 point favorite. I think FSU has too much speed for the Devils but I don't see this being a 55-0 game, more like 35-10 FSU. If Duke has several turnovers it could get ugly. All the talk of the ACC being just as good as the SEC. The ACC has to get to the point when their championship game is competitive like the SEC game was last year with Georgia and Alabama. Until that happens the ACC is still walking in the SEC shadow.
