ACC, not Big East, least deserving of AQ status: Orange Bowl WVU 70 - Clemson 33
The ACC is now 2-13 in BCS games. The Big East is 7-7. If you count the BCS wins/losses of Big East teams now in, or moving to, the ACC then the record is ACC 5-17 and the Big East is 4-3. Count Boise State's BCS record and the Big East is 6-3. I think we know who the more deserving AQ conference is.
BTW, non-AQs are 5-2 in BCS games. Also the ACC, Big10, and Big 12 all have losing records in BCS games.

Thanks for the link
we were telling people even before we started this site that the ACC is the weak AQ and not the Big East.

And the ACC is about to get worse...
…in football while the Big East will improve. West Virginia is the only real football loss for the Big East but Boise and Houston easily make up for that. ACC football is about to get worse than it is now. Has anybody looked at ACC hoops recently? The conference may be worse than last season. Duke and UNC are probably dying to get Cuse and Pitt in sooner rather than later to get some competition. Too bad this conference could not find a way to make it work.

People base their argument on the low ranking of the past few Big East champs.
Yes the past few ACC champs may have been ranked high, but as a conference overall the Big East is stronger.

Agreed
Some other food for thought. Incoming member Boise State is 2-0 in BCS Bowls. That means they have the same number of wins as the entire ACC conference. The difference, Boise State has only had two shots to get those two wins, the ACC has had 15. Kind of embarrassing, isn’t it. I don’t know why no one is talking about the ACC losing it’s AQ status, when it is clear that they have by far the worst BCS Bowl record.
