Tudor Confuses Himself

Caulton Tudor has an article up where me makes the argument that the parity of the new ACC football will hurt it. First, he says that too many good teams will make it difficult for the second place team to have enough wins to get an at-large BCS spot. Then, he also complains about the weak non-conference schedules of teams.

Caulton, this isn't basketball. There's no committee looking at your non-conference schedule. Most ACC teams now play enough good in-conference games. It's your overall schedule that matters. If you go through this league with one loss, you're damn good regardless of whether or not you played Furman for Homecoming.

His base argument, that the league may be toogood is downright silly. Do you think leagues that got two BCS bids in the past weren't good? If you want to get a BCS bid, you have to win games and beat good teams. I'm not a proponent of expansion, but even I can see that the ACC has at least one more team with the ability to do that.
