<p>That’s just my opinion of it, Georgia Tech doesn’t get a good score academically because I fell that it isn’t a very well rounded university, just good if you want to go for engineering, not so much for liberal arts.</p>

<p>Hehe my beloved ACC. </p>

<p>I usually hate threads like these because they usually end with people splitting hairs, arguing about the difference in the prestige of schools that are pretty equal in prestige. This is different though, and admitone’s (^) seems to be the most “accurate.”</p>

13

<p>yes, admitone gets my vote for most accurate.</p>

14

<p>How can FSU be rated under schools like the Univ of Maimi when FSU has more and higher national program rankings?</p>

<p>How can FSU be rated under Georgia Tech when FSU earned the first chapter of Phi Beta Kappa in Florida in 1933 and GT cannot manage to earn a chapter of PBK to the present day?</p>

<p>How inane can you get? Its another thinly disguised attempt for the prestige hounds to toot their horn and claim they are better human beings because they go to a higher ranking school. But what they dont see is how it makes them look…sophomoric and silly and superficial.</p>

<p>Given the inherent inverse relationship between academic quality and football success, I propose that ordering the ACC from lowest all-time football winning percentage to highest is a pretty reasonable ranking:</p>

<ol>
<li>Wake Forest</li>
<li>NC State</li>
<li>Duke</li>
<li>UVA</li>
<li>Maryland</li>
<li>UNC</li>
<li>BC</li>
<li>Clemson</li>
<li>Georgia Tech</li>
<li>Virginia Tech</li>
<li>Miami</li>
<li>Florida State</li>
</ol>

<p>definitely agree with all the comments about this thread. I go to Clemson, a school that’s very low in prestige among the ACC schools. However, academically it’s among the top 60 colleges in the country and it’s still a very good school academically. So in my opinion, as long as I’m getting a good education compared to other schools in the country, I could care less where my prestige is among the ACC schools.</p>

<p>Perhaps we should rank the ACC schools by football and basketball envy?</p>
