CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -When the Atlantic Coast Conference raided the Big East to form a 12-team league, it had grand visions of turning the basketball-dominated conference into a football powerhouse that would regularly be in the national championship picture.
Saturday night’s title game between No. 12 Virginia Tech and 20th-ranked Florida State will mark the sixth time in as many years the conference will have no say in the BCS title game.
At least, this time the stands will be full – as long as the fans brave what’s supposed to be a cold rain.
The move to Bank of America Stadium will make for a chilly night, but produce far warmer fan support after five years of mostly dismal crowds and little buzz in Florida. The winner will get a bid to the Orange Bowl.
