The ACC is substantially worse than I expected, though I kind of checked out of college basketball around 4 minutes into the second half of the Iowa STate game... Until this morning.

8 teams in the top40, which would be in line for an at large bid,
6 more in the outside looking in, from 41-100,
4 teams that are in the bad range, including miserable Georgia Tech at 201.

Importantly, right now, only 10 teams in the ACC are top 75 in the NET, which is the benchmark for a Quad 1 win if you win on the road.  4 more teams are between 76-90, so additional good wins can really help the conference as a whole in the December OOC schedule.  But it is hard to see the conference really helping themselves in the next four weeks.

Syracuse have room to make it up, starting with Tennessee, but we are in a bad spot after a lousy showing in Las Vegas.  Oh, what could have been!
