Today is Championship Day for several of the conferences in NCAA football. Wake Forest will not be a part of this directly but what happens in the ACC Championship game in Jacksonville Florida between Virginia Tech and Boston College will decide which Bowl game bids that the team will receive.

Leading up to the ACC Championship, there has been much discussion on whether the game will return to Jacksonville next year. Attendance is expected to well off the goals set by the organising committee for the game probably causing a net loss of the game. It may be turn out next year the game may be held in Charlotte which may be a better site for many teams’ fans to attend the game.

For my part, I will probably will root for Boston College despite the fact that beat Wake this year. It looks like just a better team to represent the conference.

But this game will be a mere afterthought compared to the other games going on today. The highlight game is the Missouri-Oklahoma game for the Big 12 Championship. A Missouri win will confirm their place in the national championship game. The SEC Championship game between Tennesse and LSU will certainly have an effect on the BCS standings. Other notable games include Army-Navy traditional game, USC-UCLA, even the Hawaii-Washington St game later tonight will have some following to see if Hawaii will go 12-0 for the year and get an at large BCS bid.

Such it is with the ACC in the eyes of many college commentators. Big 10, Big 12, SEC and even Pac -10 conferences are more worthy of coverage than the ACC which is apparently when it comes to football is hardly much better than Conference-USA. If Florida State is in not the hunt for the national championship, then any other team from the conference is just a pretender.

But the ACC’s time to shine will come soon.
