Congratulations to North Carolina for winning the ACC’s regular season. After all the struggles the questions UNC is right back where people felt they would be. That is in position for a number 1 Seed in the NCAA tournament. So how many teams the ACC gets in will depend on the ACC tournament, and I’ll tell you how …

When the college basketball season started the North Carolina Tar Heels were pretty much the consensus pre-season number 1 team in the country. Despite a 26-4 record this team had at least slightly underachieved in most folk’s estimation. Early in the year there was 10 point loss to UNLV. The 73-72 loss at Kentucky was …

It will be just a short post for tonight, but what a wild night it was. Florida State’s Ian Miller drops a last second 3 point shot against Virginia, and Clemson hangs on for a two point over Virginia Tech. What does it mean? In rallying from a down double digits in the last five …

With North Carolina’s blowout victory over Maryland, the rematch is set. UNC and Duke with an ACC Regular Season Title on the line. There is an NCAA number 1 seed in play, rivalry bragging rights, and oh year they are both ranked in the top 5. Just another typical game in college basketball’s biggest rivalry, …

The big news for today was the release of the ACC Football Schedule for 2012. Here’s a link to the ACC Helmet Schedule. Who better to give their thoughts on the new schedule than some of our ACC Bloggers. I’ll have some thoughts on the schedule myself later in the week. Florida State blogger TomahawkNation seems …

The ACC still has a shot at as many as 6 NCAA teams, but that will depend on how Miami and NC State finish the season. Right now only one of them is in. In my ranking system, any RPI top (100) win is a good win and any RPI top (50) obviously worth more. …

The ACC’s top 3 teams appear set. Duke and North Carolina at 12-2 in the ACC have clinched ACC tournament first round BYEs. Florida St barring a major collapse seems to have locked up 3rd position. The 4th position currently belongs to Virginia at 8-6, followed by Miami at 7-6. They play Florida State Sunday. After that it is NC …

We’ve been doing our ACC Bubble watch each Sunday, but it’s probably time to take a look at the rest of the country’s bubble teams. What they do will directly affect in particular Miami’s and NC State’s bubble status. We are going to consider Maryland as well, because with an 8-8 finish to the ACC …

The Duke Blue Devils might have been the most underrated 23-4 #4 ranked team in recent memory. Listen to the college basketball analysts and they heaped deserved praise on Kentucky and Syracuse. No one argues that, but after those two you got into the next group of teams that could get to the final 4 …

I might be a little pressed for time tomorrow, so I’m going ahead and putting out my weekly Articles from around Blogosphere a day early. There’s so much going on starting with some NC State fans who are steaming mad at ACC official Karl Hess for ejecting a couple of NC State legends Saturday against …

For the first time in a couple of weeks the number of ACC teams I’ve had in the NCAA tournament has dropped from 6 to 5 teams. Who dropped out? Take a look below. In my ranking system, any RPI top (100) win is a good win and any RPI top (50) obviously worth more. …

Coming off a loss Tuesday night at Clemson, Virginia was looking a little shaky. Despite a 19-6 record they had fallen to 6-5 in the ACC with a dangerous Maryland team coming to Charlottesville. Frankly if the Cavs had lost Saturday that would be the NCAA bubble off in the horizon, but as he’s done …

The streak is 55 games and counting. 55 times Clemson has went to Chapel Hill and left with a loss to North Carolina. The Tigers have been trying since 1926 to win at Chapel Hill. To that put into perspective, let’s go over a few streaks that have happened 55 times or more. Joe DiMaggio’s …

You thought we’d forgot about weekly ACC Blogosphere links? Nope, just took a break last week due to a hectic schedule for me, but we’re back. Let’s get right to it. Clemson pulled off surprising upset of Virginia Tuesday night, and Clemson Blog ShakinTheSouthland says that’s how you finish off a close basketball game. Keep …

More jockeying for position this week…. How are things shaping with selection Sunday quickly approaching? In my ranking system, any RPI 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 …

The ACC’s reputation as a basketball conference is historically unmatched. In the last 25 years, no conference has more national titles or Final 4. That said the conference as a whole has fallen on some lean times when it comes to basketball. Yes the ACC has won 2 of the last 3 national titles, and …
