ACC shines in Bowl Games

The Bowl season has five games to be  played and looking at at those five games the Southeastern Conference will be in four of the five games left.  They are the only conference that can out shine the ACC's bowl record this year.

So far the ACC is 8-3 with one game remaining and all they have left is win the national championship game and they are the kings.  One win over Alabama and Clemson is the national Champion of college football and the ACC will will be  9-3 and not only win  the most important  game have the best winning percentage of all the conferences. 750, if they lose the championship game they will fall to 667 which will still tie for the best percentage.

When the national election got toward midnight those folks who's job  it was to try to keep you  interested in the election kept telling you Hilliary's hope stood that she could not lose another state. The Southeastern Conference still has four games left they cannot lose one or the ACC will be declared the the winner.  The SEC stands at 5-5 right now and if the win all four of their remaining games they would go past the ACC in  total wins of 9 because Alabama would have beaten Clemson keeping the ACC from 9.  Regardless of how the remaining games play out the ACC has won the best percentage.

The Sunbelt stands  at 4-2 but the ACC would win the tie breaker having played in the most games.  The Big 12 is 3-2 and could tie the Sunbelt with one game left but the tie breakers gets them too.  Conference USA is the only other conference with a winning   record but the have no games left at 4-3.

As great as the ACC record is it will lose some steam if Alabama takes home the championship much like last year in basketball when the ACC got six teams in sweet 16 but no title.

Now the misery.  For the second time in the history of Big Four basketball all four ACC schools that call North Carolina home all lost in the same day in basketball Saturday.  I know we have all forgotten this but it happened in 2014 which was the first time it had ever happened.

Wake Forest looks as if they just don't have the horses to  be a real contender all season.  The Wolfpack looked as if they were starting all freshman.  Duke and Carolina both seemed disinterested.  Regardless the Big Four is 0-4 in the ACC.
