ACC expansion by 1 in baseball

With the addition of Pitt to the acc.....

The ACC just became an even weaker baseball league. Too bad!...

 

Even weaker? You make it sound like the ACC is not a very good baseball conference. No, they aren't the SEC, Pac-10 or Big 12... but they aren't very bad. UNC, UVa, GT, Clemson, FSU, and Miami could be considered "traditional" national powers. Schools like WF and NCSU are certainly nothing to sneeze at either.

 

For those who follow college baseball on a national basis, the "Boyd's World" website is the most definitive statistically in the business. In support of JM15's contention, here's where the top 5 conferences have shaken out over the last 5 years:

Thanks for posting. Shows ACC is not as weak as some may think. SEC, PAC 10 and Big 12 are extreme powers.

 

My point was.......

My point was that ACC baseball will not be strengthened by the addition of Pitt. Thanks for the stats anyway.
And have a good holiday.
