Time to shed a little perspective on things.Everyone knows there is a difference between the Olympics and the Special Olympics. Both hand out medals but, in the grand scheme of things, only one matters and the other is a feel good.The ACC is the Special Olympics.To put things in their proper perspective, lets break down a few facts between the B12 and ACC.First, up until the last few seconds of the B12 Conference Championship, if Okie State wins they are PROBABLY in the 4th spot in the playoffs. If not, they are IN THE LEAST, in the discussion. The winner of the ACC conference championship? There is NO scenario whereby they are in the discussion. None. The BEST they could hope for was a bowl on New Year's Day that few are even going to watch because whoever wins gets .... nothing.Second, even though the B12 champion didn't make it into the playoffs, the two contenders still made it into the top 10. The two ACC contenders? No where near the top 10. One is barely in top 15 and the other barely top 20.Third, the B12 champions don't lose to MAC schools. Not even good ones at that. B12 schools altogether, outside of the bottom feeder Kansas, don't lose to MAC and lower schools. Of course, there is the RARE one when a team finishes down there with Kansas. But not the top echelon IN ANY YEAR. The ACC - yep. Their champion lost to the MAC.Fourth, in the B12, with one loss a team is still in the hunt for the playoffs. Has happened about every year - the B12 champion with one loss is still in the playoffs. The ACC? Nope. One loss just about guarantees you'll be playing somewhere else that weekend.Fifth, in terms of prestige, the B12 right now comes in squarely in 3rd. One can use about any metric they want and the results will still be the same. The ACC? Among the P5 conferences, the ACC ranks at the bottom.Now, there are others I could go into but we'll stop right there. The resident ACC homers can cry in their diapers over the facts stated because they can't refute them. Oh, they'll throw some ad hominem attacks and some infantile attacks my way but I'll just laugh like I always do.All that written, even without Oklahoma and Texas, the B12 is a better conference only with fewer teams but much tougher schedules. Other than proximity, why would WVU want to jump to the ACC with everything listed above against them if they do?</blockquote>
