I think teams 3-11 in the Big Ten are superior to teams 3-11 in the ACC. Sorry.
More than anything, I mourn the death of the Big East as we knew it. Many apparently are feeling the ACC. I'm not and I think the Big East served ND's recruiting efforts better. Membership in the Big Ten would probably open up more success with Chicago-area recruits. Gotta get some of those kids. Now the more academically-capable kids will be picking Northwestern.
