unc5corners.blogspot.com 9/2/2008 — How many times have we heard that the Atlantic Coast is as bad as it gets when it comes to football as far as BCS Conferences go? I would say too many to want to mention. However, after this last weekend it would be pretty hard to defend the ACC's position on this discussion.
