These are my power rankings. Go ahead and give yours.
NC contenders
1.Duke- #2 team in the nation legit NC contender and Final Four favorite
2.Virginia- #3 team in the nation, and have the second best defense in the nation and legit Final Four contender.
3.Louisville - #5 team in the nation, I don't like this team as much as their ranking. They are good defensively at home, but their guard play isn't as elite as it has been in previous years. Final Four contender
Sweet 16 teams
4. North Carolina #14 team in the nation, good offensive team, with a lot of length they only have one consistent outside shooter like SU in Marcus Paige. Sweet 16/Elite 8 team
5.Notre Dame #19 team in the nation, they have the most efficient offense in the nation, leading the nation in offensively FG%. They struggle in interior defense and don't have much height. However, they will outscore most teams. Second round/Sweet 16 team
NCAA teams
6.Syracuse- Syracuse has turned it season around thanks to all-conference play from Trevor Cooney and the anchor in the middle Rak Christmas. This team should make the tournament, but doesn't have much margin for error. First round/second round team
7.Miami- turnaround led by transfer Angel Rodriguez from K State. This team is your team capable of beating Duke and capable of losing to Virginia Tech team. They will be an NCAA team and have a good coach. First round/Second round team.
8. NC State- led by Alabama transfer Trevor Lacey who is the most underrated player in the ACC. The Wolfpack look like an NCAA team, and will be team on the level of Syracuse/Miami this season. First round/second round team.
NIT teams
9.Georgia Tech- great rebounding, defensive team that struggles shooting the ball from 3 pt range. This team will be tough at home and mediocre on the road. Outside chance at the NCAA tournament.
10. Pitt- 2nd worst team in Jamie Dixon's tenure at Pitt. They struggle defensively at times and offensively at times. They have no real good wins outside of K State in Maui.
11. Florida State- this team is the most underachieving of the ACC teams. They beat Florida at home and then lost at Mississippi State. They have length and post play, but are a bad offensive team.
No postseason
12.Wake Forest- led by first year coach Danny Manning. The Deacs are playing their youth for the future and played Louisville tough at home. This will be a team you want at home as they won't win many road games, but will be a load at home.
13.Clemson- the Tigers just look bad offensively, and don't seem to have much this season. They lost their best player to the NBA and seem to be rebuilding.
14.Boston College- Jim Christian is rebuilding BC and they have Hanlan who would be perfect for Syracuse if we could make a trade. He can shoot and make plays for BC. The Eagles don't have much more and Christian will get some time.
15. Virginia Tech- Buzz has very little on the Hokies. They will struggle to win games in ACC play, but Buzz will turn them around as he already has recruits lined up for next year.
