You hear it so often, and it sounds so cliche – Team A is better than it’s record. With the Duke Blue Devils, this is actually true. Duke was a team that was better than it’s 3-6, 0-4 record. If you had seen them play in recent weeks, you knew it. There was 10 point …

We’ll give each conference a relative strength value 1-10. Let me explain my relative rankings 0-5 : Conference lacks depth no elite teams 6-7: Conference lacks …

Good evening, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) fans. Virginia Tech found a way to win a game today – that I didn’t think the Hokies would win last year.
