nah, now let's not go that far. ACC is a great conference. I just think it's the press that hypes them up way too much. Calling them by far the best conference in the country, etc. when other conferences like the Big East, for example, are just as strong. Yes, the Big East conference is bigger but the top 9 teams in the Big East more than match up against the 9 teams in the ACC.
No they don't.
Hahaha..how did I figure you were going to comment on this
Ok, the ACC this year has Duke, UNC, NC St, Wake Forrest, GTech, Maryland, Florida St, UVA, and Clemson.
Top 9 in Big East this year: UConn, Pitt, Syracuse, Providence, Notre Dame, Seton Hall, Boston College, Villanova, and Rutgers.
ACC: Elite: Duke
Pretty good: UNC, NC St, Wake Forrest, GTech, Maryland
Lowest Tier: Fl St, UVA, Clemson
Big East: Elite: UConn
Pretty good: Pitt, Syracuse, Providence, Seton Hall, Boston College
Lowest Tier: Notre Dame, Villanova, Rutgers.
UConn is even with Duke if not better this year.
in the Pretty Good section, any of the Big East teams listed could beat the ACC teams listed. I'm not saying blowouts but very competitive evenly matched games.
in the Lowest Tier section, Rutgers is your Fl St (as tough as anyone at home, not so good on the road), Villanova just beat UVA handily, and I'll take Notre Dame who probably belongs in the Pretty Good section over Clemson.
Now, I know you're an NC St fan but come on now, give respect where respect should be given. Your ACC tourney champ just lost to 'Cuse, BC vs Tech will be a very good game, WF vs Pitt is a potential matchup as well as UConn vs NC State. Duke slaughtered Seton Hall today as they were clearly on their game but I can't imagine many ACC teams except for Duke giving UConn much of a challenge when they are on their game.
