Does Winning ACC Games Really Matter?
I'm being facetious...
But, if you compare the AP Top 25 Rankings for Men's College Basketball -- and compare it with the ACC Conference Standings -- here's what you'd find:
TEAM AP RANK ACC RECORD
Duke #7 2 - 3
Florida State #9 4 - 1
North Carolina #11 4 - 1
Louisville #14 3 - 2
Virginia #19 3 - 2
NOTRE DAME #20 5 - 0
Do the voters just vote on reputation?
If yes, wouldn't you think the only team in this group (and the country) who has been to "back to back" ELITE EIGHT games -- gets the reputation vote?
Maybe that happens next week for Notre Dame...
