Since that merger, the Big East has flourished while the ACC is 0-for in Bowl Championship Series games (Florida State '05 Orange Bowl, Wake Forest '06 Orange Bowl, Virginia Tech '07 Orange Bowl) and has produced the worst BCS team in terms of record since the system's inception (8-5 FSU, 2005). Is this the year things turn around? WEB RUN

Keep reading to see which coach I think is gone. WEBRUN
