You watched it, and you’ve undoubtedly heard all about it: the SEC went 0-4 against the ACC on Saturday.

With the way the SEC has dominated the college football landscape for the past decade, Saturday’s results — as well as Florida State’s win over Auburn in last year’s national championship game — give ACC fans and national writers all the ammo they need. There’s plenty of time for the SEC to stop the trash talk, though.

You know what? The ACC has earned it, for now. The conference has posted a winning record against the SEC two consecutive years now, the first time that’s happened in a decade. The reigning national champions reside in the conference, and the Seminoles are still undefeated after knocking off Florida on Saturday.

Georgia Tech’s upset win over Georgia was a great one for the ACC. The Yellow Jackets hadn’t beaten the Bulldogs since 2008, and Georgia had won 12 of 13 games coming in. The Yellow Jackets made the plays necessary, coming up with three red zone turnovers, to get the overtime win, showing why they’re heading to the ACC Championship to take on FSU this weekend.

Clemson’s win over South Carolina is great for the Upstate’s Tigers, as well. They’d dropped five straight to the Gamecocks coming in, losing each of those games by double digits. The Tigers thoroughly worked Carolina on Saturday, beating them up in all phases.

Clemson, though, was the only of the three ACC favorites on Saturday to cover the spread the Vegas oddsmakers had laid out for them; the Tigers were a 4.5-point favorite, and ended up winning by 18. Florida State was a touchdown favorite over Florida, while Louisville was getting double-digit points against Kentucky.

The latter two games ended up being dog fights, with both Florida and Kentucky pushing their rivals FSU and Louisville, respectively, to the brink. Both fell short, but there’s a reason one fired its coach and the other finished the season on a six-game skid, the same reason South Carolina fell from a preseason top-1o ranking to a 6-6 record: they’re not very good.

All of that doesn’t really matter, because there’s a chance for this to be settled on the field. Alabama and Florida State still need to take care of business, but both are on track for College Football Playoff berths. The way the seedings worked out last week, those two teams would be on track to square off in the title game in Dallas next month; that is, if they keep winning.

And really, that’s the only way to settle this ACC vs. SEC debate. While it may not matter — many would say the Big 12 is the strongest conference this year, while others would argue for the Pac 12 — Alabama and Florida State have both made their cases as the top two teams in the country.

Wins over mediocre or worse SEC teams are nice to point to when arguing conference supremacy. The ACC holds the crown now, something the SEC held for seven straight seasons. Alabama looks primed to take it back, while Florida State keeps hanging on by a thread every week.

Saturday’s 4-0 mark is great for the ACC. The only number that matters, though, is who is standing at No. 1 on Jan. 12.
