Pitt of cousrse is a wash, then trade UNC for UCONN, Duke for Louisville, all top 10- teams TV execs would force.

UVA for West VA and Maryland for G-town is not that much different, perhaps this year while MD is down unless their 7 foot guy from overseas is superb, but they will be back soon, before Cuse is in ACC.

Roy Williams for Jim Calhoun, coach K for Rick Pitino, Tony Bennett for Huggy Bear and Mark Turgeon for JT3, again an edge for last two offest by opposite edge for the first two.

As long as you are talking only home game impact, senior laden FSU with Leonard Hamilton plays a BE style of defense first led by Bernard James and junior Michael Snaer, or Miami with former GMU coach Jim Larranaga, Reggie Johnson back in January, Malcolm Grant and Durand Scott, are a tad better overall this year than UVA and MD but obviously distance, and in FSU's case graduations, would prevent them being a wash the next year on road games.

Your point that BE had had more good mid-tier teams than ACC is valid, but that is due to 16 teams versus ACC's 12.

There are also more crappy teams in BE than in ACC even this year when BC, GA Tech, Wake and Maryland are all down to same level as Rutgers, USF, Providence, Seton Hall, Depaul and TCU.

At the top, BE had the edge while it has Cuse and Pitt but that reverses when those 2 join ACC.
