Basically all he is saying is that North Carolina, Maryland, and Duke are better than Syracuse, Notre Dame, Ohio State, and Denver. I actually think the top 3 teams are Syracuse, North Carolina, and Maryland so I don't see it as that outrageous. He should say Syracuse is in the ACC's teams caliber, but doesn't say it. We are a good team, but honestly this tournament is wide open. I thought the top 8 teams were all seeded correctly except Cornell should have been the 8 seed over Penn State. I think if SU wins tomorrow they will be thankful they will be playing a scrappy Yale team over Cornell, but we have struggled against the okay teams Villanova, Hobart, Albany and played well against the historic good teams.
I don't think Notre Dame, Ohio State, or Denver are that great to be honest. Syracuse has absolutely humbled Notre Dame two times in 5 days and Detroit showed Notre Dame isn't anything special. Quint did an article last Thursday talking about all the teams that he thought could win the NC and he listed 11 teams and he didn't include Ohio State. I don't see Ohio State as scary and honestly the winner of Maryland/Cornell should be/will be favored in my opinion against Ohio State. Denver has been solid, but they don't exactly scare you, and I think North Carolina will beat them next week.
I think the Final Four in 2 weeks will be Syracuse-North Carolina, and Duke-Maryland/Cornell.
