ACC vs Top 25 vs random team

Ouch. Dook isn't going to like facing tough teams in the NCAAs after playing through the soft ACC.
Wow, just wow. Yet, ESPN has anointed Duke as maybe the greatest team since '96. (I joke, maybe)
ACC is a joke. Duke is good, but feasting on that league isn’t going to help much in March.
Some guy on one of the 8 million YouTube channels dealing with college ball said the other day that Duke was by far the best team. Auburn has 11 Quad 1 wins. Even if you still think Duke is better, "by far"? What a ridiculous statement.
I mean the SEC went 34-4 vs the ACC.
EVERY SEC team (all 16) beat at least 1 ACC team.
& EVERY ACC team (including Duke) lost to at least 1 SEC team.

Interesting how both conferences have done a 180 to where they were 5-10 years ago. SEC is filled with some hungry coaches right now. ACC lost all their top coaches and have replaced them with some interesting picks.
The refs will take care of them in March if they can. UL is the second best team in the ACC what ever that means
Seems to me like Duke is not really blowing those teams out either. Sure Super Duper Cooper Flagg is getting his but one player is not going to win it all.
Up until the past 2 games, Duke had won 7 of the past 8 ACC games by 23 points or more.
Duke won't see a final four with sliced bread and it'll be another glorious year in the awful acc 
There are two schools of thought.
One is that it helps as you can rest team and they gain confidence.
The other is they are not battle tested and the first real team they run into shocks them.
It's just for years we've heard about the Big 12 and Big Ten and how good they were only for nearly all their teams to s hit the bed when it came to the tournament.
I have another school of thought with this. Doesn't matter one way or the other lol.
Louisville could very well have a higher tournament seeding than us before all is said and done.
Let that sink in.
I think the SEC is trying to be like the old Big east and super physical, and I could see a lot of SEC teams getting in foul trouble in the tourney because of that.

I doubt they do that because of win quality.
I think we'll get that old Big East benefit of being in the best conference. The strength of the league helps more than hurts I feel. Time will tell.
