ACC: 11-1 (Lost seeds 2)(remaining seeds 1, 3, 4, 4, 8) 6 teams 12 games = Max
Pac-12: 7-1 (Lost seeds 8)(remaining seeds 2, 5, 11) 4 teams 8 games = Max
Big Ten: 7-5 (Lost seeds 4, 7, 9, 10, 10)(remaining seeds 1, 7) 7 teams 12 games = -2
Big 12: 5-5 (Lost Seeds 2, 3, 3, 9)(remaining seeds 3, 5) 6 teams 10 games = -2
Big East: 5-5 (Lost seeds 1, 4, 6, 6, 9) (remaining seeds 6) 6 teams 10 games = -2
SEC: 4-4 (Lost seeds 5, 9, 10, 11) (remaining seeds 1) 5 teams 8 games = -2

Looking at seeds lost/remaining its obvious that the B12 and the BE were over seeded.

As good as the ACC has done by seed they only have one team that over achieved and then one team that underachieved to counteract that. The Pac in contrast has only one loss and its a team that by seed played to that seed and then it has two teams that overachieved their seed.

The sweet16 is where the ACC  can really separate itself as clearly the best conference: IF:
ND(3) holds serve against WichSt(7)
Duke(1) holds serve against Utah(5)
UNC(4) takes out Wisc(1)

Lville(3) takes on NcSt(8) The winner has a great chance to make the FF by taking on the winner of Ok(3)MSU(7)

At best the ACC can be 15-2 after the next round and have half the Elite 8 while already cannibalizing one of its own. That would be a great tourney for any conference with any seeds. There would also be no ACC vs ACC in the round of 8 so every game would have an ACC team and a chance to be an all ACC FF.
