Louisville's Bobby Petrino compares ACC's Atlantic Division to SEC West | http://AL.com  http://ow.ly/zqLbI

"The division that we're in reminds me a lot of the SEC West when we had defending national champions and every team in it is capable of beating every team in it," Petrino said...

Louisville is in the ACC's Atlantic Division, which also includes defending national champ Florida State, Clemson, Boston College, North Carolina State, Syracuse and Wake Forest.

Teams from the SEC West, meanwhile -- specifically, Alabama, Auburn and LSU -- have won five of the last seven BCS national championships.

"The fact that the defending national champion is in it, and Clemson has had a tremendous amount of success, we're coming in with a program that's had  a lot of success, and week in and week out it's gonna be so competitive, I see it as being very similar," Petrino said of the ACC Atlantic.

Petrino was 8-4 last year in his only season as head coach at Western...

He takes over a Louisville program that went 23-3 in the last two years in the Big East and American Athletic Conference under Batesville native Charlie Strong...

Cant wait to see some of the spreads for ole Bobby's Card teams this year.

[HiggiePiggy]

Louisville has a pretty tough schedule this upcoming season. 

[twistitup]

Did he also compare the roads around Louisville to the roads around Fville?

[BigSexyHog]

How are the blondes looking this year?

[Inhogswetrust]

He has that same smirk on his face when he was doing unethical stuff before....................Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

[Wildhog]

I miss winning.

[Jackrabbit Hog]

I miss winning.

Me too.  More and more each year.

I think Bobby will have a year this year much like his first year at UA was.  He'll improve them and be contending for at least a division title by year 3 (assuming he's still there).

I guess that means he won't be able to beat FSU and Clemson.

Florida state maybe, but I put Clemson like South Carolina and South Carolina owns them. And under Petrino we owned South Carolina.  Florida state is the only team that will give him the biggest problems probably.

Robert Petrino and his garbage finesse offense is in for a rude awakening against Florida State and Clemson.  Florida State has a plethora of highly ranked defensive players like Alabama has.  Additionally, a Top 10 ranked LSU team in 2012 and a Top 10 ranked Georgia team in 2013 found out that it is not easy going up against Clemson (Clemson defeated both of those Top 10 ranked SEC teams).

Clemson defeated a non-injury decimated Georgia team in 2013.  Both LSU and South Carolina couldn't win against a non-injury decimated Georgia in 2013.

Robert Petrino's weakness of no solid Defense will have a serious problem with Florida State's Offense and Clemson's Offense.  Both FSU and Clemson have a much more difficult Offense to go up against than the Offenses Petrino faced when he went up against Alabama and LSU.

Who was that last regular season game that Clemson played in 2013 and was destroyed by?

South Carolina.  Like I said Florida state is the only team that Petrino will have the biggest problems with.  All other teams in the ACC, Louisville will be able to play with.

"garbage"  Yep I've heard it all now... Bet you didn't think it was "garbage" when Mallett was sling it around for 300 plus a game, KD running it down LSU throat... Winning 10 plus games..  Cards got an open date before FL ST..  Thursday night game, should be a very interesting game.. Will make my prediction that the cards will beat Clemson or FL St

Miles lost the game against Clemson, not LSU, he took his foot off the gas..  Two different coaches
