AMELIA ISLAND — A consistent theme hummed around The Ritz-Carlton during the Atlantic Coast Conference’s spring meetings: ACC football is underrated. Commissioner Jim Phillips said his conference “sometimes doesn’t get the attention that it deserves.” Pitt coach Pat Narduzzi used the word “disrespect.” If the league had a better reputation, it’s fair to wonder whether 13-0 Florida State still would …
