WVU looks good in Orange Bowl

[SRQ]

win counts towards BE all-time BCS record as well as ACC's. New BE can still pass ACC as football conference if things play out well. ACC is a crippled football conference and playing in the shadow of SEC may always be.

What the ACC has going for it is fan support and tradition. Big East has better teams, right now. But ACC has established programs with established fan bases that help them ride through the rocky teams. Big East has lost many of our established programs.

Screw wvu

Screw Pitt and 'Cuse. They started this mess. Can't fault WVU for doing what everyone else was trying to do.

The Big East has been ahead of the ACC since 2005. Been saying that for years. Really came to fruition last night.

We do need some credibility for the Big East. Glad we're getting some for once.

Whatever credibility they're building goes with them to the Big 12 ...

Not really. I mean it isn't like WVU rolled the Big East. There was a great deal of parody in our league. This means maybe the conference was stronger in general.. or so one may argue.

I think you meant parity. Or not.

What is up with Geno Smith still in the game and still throwing touchdown passes in the 4th quarter?

That school has no dignity.

They took Geno out in the early third. The back-up came in and tossed an INT. No reason to give Clemson a window back into the game, however unlikely. There was a still a lot of clock left. No reason to have your back-up turn the tides and cool down the hot hand.

On top of that West Virginia and the Big East needed to make a statement. It's not WVU's fault Clemson couldn't stop them.

I stole this, but, "There are 11 players in the Clemson defense, and they'll all be going pro in something other than sports."

Is Geno a Senior. I guess the almost loss to us really helped them get prepared for the bowl game.

Statistically in football the Big East is ahead. But the ACC is better because they are a stable, well-rounded conference.

If the ACC came knocking, we would jump ship in a heart beat.
