So, besides being consistently inconsistent, what do the football teams at Florida State, North Carolina, Clemson, Virginia Tech, Boston College, Miami, Georgia Tech and Maryland have in common?
Short answer: They can’t stand prosperity.
Long answer: Those schools are a combined 6-16 when they are ranked in any, either or all polls. Talk about underachieving at exactly the wrong time.
Patrick Stevens of the Washington Times points this out eloquently, and the analysis is ugly.
Only Wake Forest (4-2) has a winning record while ranked. The rest look like this: Florida State (2-3), North Carolina (2-3), Clemson (1-2), Virginia Tech (1-2), Boston College (0-1), Miami (0-1), Georgia Tech (0-2) and Maryland (0-2).
