ACC Bubble Analysis for February 4, 2013
It’s February so if your’re going to make a move towards the NCAA tournament you better start now… In my ranking system, any RPIw 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 …

Who has the inside track to a NCAA tournament #1 seed, the Duke Blue Devils or Miami Hurricanes?
When was the last time an ACC team not named Duke or North Carolina had shot at an NCAA tournament number 1 seed? I’m guessing Wake Forest in the 2004-05 year when they played the whole season ranked in the top 10 and even spent two weeks at number 1. They went into the ACC …

So who’s going to win the Super Bowl: Baltimore or San Francisco?
I’ll be honest this Super Bowl between the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers isn’t really grabbing my attention. I’m originally from Georgia and lived in Atlanta for the better part of 4 1/2 years so I had some hometown loyalty to the Atlanta Falcons. New England would have been fun, because there would have …
