Agree to disagree. I don't think any of the "on campus" environments other than maybe UNC and Duke are anything worse than what we have seen among the best teams in the BE. I don't think Maryland or Virginia will be any more difficult than what we have seen with UConn and Pitt. And we've beaten Pitt three times in the last ten years, our problems with Pitt run much deeper than the Pete.

In 2009 we had a stretch where we played 7/10 games against top 25 teams (most top 10-15). That is far more daunting than playing some mediocre teams on their campus. Maybe as I watch more ACC games in the conference season I will have more respect for the programs/teams, but right now nothing any ACC school has done out of conference scares me.

Of course, teams will get better over the course of the year and we will get tripped up. I just don't see 4-6 losses as things stand today. Do crazy things happen? Of course, but looking at our schedule I think a 2-3 loss ACC season is not a reach. We have done as well or better recently in a stronger Big East, and I'm starting to believe that this team is at the same category of the 2010 and 2012 teams.
