He's counting Miami and VTech. None of the current ACC teams are even in the Top 10.

[DaveW]

OH...sorry no credit for miami and va tech this year

[Guest]

Like Alabamers ranking.....like it matters roll tide roll! Oh baby say it again!

[DaveW]

WHERE IS UNC OR UNCC OR WHOEVER IT IS YOU PULL FOR?

[Guest]

I could give two shits about college football....I just find Alabamer funny as hell. Ain't won shit in years, yet they stay in the news. Whether it be cheating or their coach fucking hookers. Roll tide roll!

then keep your ass out of this thread. Go find a soccer thread or something

When Carolina isn't good at football most of their fans just say they don't care about football. They probably just pick a good team to pull for.

[Guest]

I don't watch or follow college football.

I guess if your from Alabamer that's all you got besides farm animals and toothless skanks.

As for the Carolina comment.....they have enough great pros in the NFL to put them on the college football map.

But you don't really care, right?

[Guest]

About a college football game? No

Players that go to the NFL? Yes

There is nothing like the NFL. Always a straight up definate winner. The best teams always face each other in the playoffs and there are no paper champs.

College sucks in that the little guy has NO chance no matter how good the team is and the best teams rarely play each other for the title.

[hasbeen99]

Fresno State plays Oklahoma in week 3. We gonna get creamed. :(

[PantherPaul]

Hell it's fact North Carolina fans don't travel to bowl games. :(
