If the ACC was so powerful, why are they once again in another year without a National Championship? And Dickie V is already trying to put North Carolina on top for next year. Are you serious, that is why this conference is way over-rated. I guess Michigan is going to win the NC next year as well. Give me a break, the ACC once again goes home with no hardware.

One team gets hardware - that is not the measure of relative strength of conference. Performance overall in the tournament is the best measure. Two final four teams and one finalist is a pretty strong statement - one half of the top teams were ACC. This is weak? This is overrated? One quarter of the elite eight and one quarter of the sweet sixteen was ACC. Every ACC team won in the first round. One Big Ten team made the sweet sixteen, and lost to a team from . . . Oh, never mind.
The RPIs had the ACC, the SEC, the Big 12, the Big East, and the A-10 toward the top. SEC fell short, the A-10 showed well but lost two close regional finals, the Big 12 was a whisker from the national final, and the Big East won it all. But the ACC was strongest before the tourney, and stongest after. They had the only 1 seed to make hte final four (and thus certify the high ranking on the court).
UM is my pre-season number 1, but they are every year before the season, even if they are banned from post-season. Unfortunately, reality has had a habit lately of overwhelming my dreams.
