Winning certainly doesn't hurt, but it doesn't explain SU to the ACC. They were coming off of 6 consecutive season where they had 5, 3, 2, 2, 4, and 1 wins against FBS opponents, yet were ACC worthy. Louisville was trending in a great direction with a great hire in Strong and Bridgewater transferring was HUGE for them, but they too were coming off 5 consecutive seasons where they had 6, 6, 3, 4, and 5 wins against FBS opponents. Timing was not UConn's friend this go-round, but there was A LOT more to UL's selection than their current hot streak in FB and UConn in the middle of an awful coaching hire. There was (still is) a power struggle in the ACC, and in the long run...10 years +/- we should all reconvene over a beer(s) to rehash these discussions and see whose "opinionated facts" were correct. I don't think bstimpy will show up.
