I just noticed duke having yet another easy home game today and got to thinking when do they actually play a decent road team in the ACC. Well I looked up the ACC and outside of duke and carolina its pretty much worthless.
The ACC is hot garbage…

- Start date
Hasn’t stopped Duke or Carolina’s rise in the polls either. Would not surprise me if they both end up a 1 seed. See no way either drops below a 2 seed.
Especially since Miami and Clemson have proved to be underwhelming
Happens every year in the ACC. ASPN talking heads proper up any team that starts out decent pre conference in the acc like they are the 97 Bulls. This year Miami, Clemson and I‘ve even heard them propping up Wake Forest. Happens every year. ASPN, just cause they say it must be true right 😂
NC state’s, which is currently 2nd place in ACC, best win outside of the ACC is probably against Vandy by 6 points. They also won @louisville by 6 points as well for context.
The ACC has 2 top 25 teams in the Net ratings. They have 3 in the top 50. The SEC has 4 top 25 NET teams, and 6 in the top 50 with Florida being close at 52.
0 chance both are 1s. The committee can look at the conference metrics just like we can.
Louisville started zan payne today that should tell you everything about that conference
Wake Forest flexing their muscles against ACC powerhouse Louisville today...
I doubt both get 1’s as well but they are both likely to be no lower than a 2 and likely one of them will indeed be a 1. If the committee took metrics into the full equation as you suggest neither would be an above a 3 or 4. Duke is 1-1 against the current top 25 and the only top 25 team it plays the rest of the year is UNC. UNC is currently 2-2 against the current top 25 and also only faces top 25 Duke twice the rest of the year. If both of them skate through the ACC with only losses to each other they will enter ACCT play with 4 losses each. Kidding yourself if you don’t think the committee would give both a one seed in that scenario especially if other P5 conference contenders have 6 losses or more.
UNCheat though is good. I don't want to face them again. I'm already having nightmares about meeting them in a regional final and The Rooferee coming out of retirement to ref.
Thankfully
John Higgins retiring from on-court officiating
John Higgins, who has officiated nine Kentucky games, including the 2011 National Championship vs. UConn, is retiring to take another role.
Now he starting Zan, man I’m starting to think Kenny wants UofL fans to hate him.
Well Duke lost at home to Pitt so they are at 4 losses already. They aren't good enough to win out and will probably get swept by UNC. I'd say 3 or 4 sees for them.
Now UNC is a problem. They probably won't lose but 1 to 2 games tops. The committee should give a 6 or 7 loss sec champ a 1 over a 5 loss acc champ, especially if said sec champ is UK that beat UNC. If it's UT I'd give it to UNC since they beat UT.
I Ithink they will get 4 in easily. Duke, UNC, NC St, and Virginia. I think it's very like they won't get any more than that. Clemson and Miami might make it.
Duke gets swept by Carolina and they will be in panic mode with their coach
I prefaced my post with IF. Glad Duke lost at home. Duke is a good team but not great. I think they will end up ACC play with maybe 4-5 losses and still get a better seed than they deserve. Probably are a 5-6 seed but will end up a 3 or 4 or worst.
The only problem I see with UNC is RJ Davis has to do everything for them offensively, if he is off even a little they go into long droughts. If he has a dry period then UNC could struggle. Ryan & Ingram aren’t number one scoring option those guys either, and bacot has progressively gotten worse
