How much did Miami loss at Wake Forest hurt the Canes? Were there any other teams making a move? Let’s find out. In my ranking system, any RPI win top (100) win is a good win and any RPI top (50) obviously worth more. Any losses outside the RPI top (100) is considered a bad loss, and …

Press release via @HokieGuru I’ll have more thoughts on the ACC schedule later this week. My initial impressions are pretty positive. Clemson vs FSU later in the season and cupcakes the week before SEC in-state rivals are good moves.

I think it’s a good time for poll… As I said earlier this week, it looks like Maryland and Virginia will flip-flop for that 5th ACC NCAA position for the rest of the season. The other 4 spots Miami, Duke, UNC, and NC State look pretty safe. Who do you think will make it, Maryland or …

More shakeup in this week’s Bubble Analysis… Who’s in? Who’s out? In my ranking system, any RPI win top (100) win is a good win and any RPI top (50) obviously worth more. Any losses outside the RPI top (100) is considered a bad loss, and outside the RPI (150) are even more damaging. I’m not counting …

Ugh not a good day, the phone died and your’s truly is feeling under the weather, so the articles around the ACC Blogosphere will be brief. By the way make a free throw Clemson and you would have pulled the upset tonight on Miami. BackingthePack is a little frustrated that NC State had to go …

You always hear about the ACC being a basketball only conference… Then at the same time ACC critics say the basketball is down too. Is it really that bad with two potential #1 seeds? Ok it’s not vintage ACC basketball, but it’s still among the country’s better basketball conferences. There’s statistic I came across that seems …

Did you see the top 10 get ripped to shreds this past week? Do you know who survived? Duke and Miami so take a look where they ended up in this week’s ACC Bubble Analysis, and there’s a new ACC team in the Big Dance. In my ranking system, any RPIw top (100) win is a good …
