Some people are probably wondering why I care so much in showing how bad the ACC was vs others, instead of reveling in the great success of UNC and Duke (and Miami).   And to be fair the fact that Miami and those others are doing is great.   It will help our respect in some areas.

But there are 2 reasons I am worried about how extremely bad we were in OOC
1) If  the middle and bottom of this conference don't start stepping it up it will hurt Syracuse moving forward.      And other ACC schools are saying the same thing about us.   As a middle of the pack school, this matters much more than Duke and UNC making the final four this year.
2) I follow how NCAA teams are selected and I take pride in knowing how it done so I can make observations on it all year rather than just on the conference tournament weekend.  .  Its a silly thing to get invested is but it is what it is.   I don't like inaccurate statements and I like to inform why things happen.   Some don't like that -- may make me weird or anal, so be it.

I am sure the ACC bottom and middle will do at least do a bit better next year OOC.   I don't think we can bottom out any worse than this.   But it needs to be much better!
