The ACC is clearly the best power 5 team in the country right now

[boilerzz]

Since early January, the ACC is the only power five conference with a winning record. No...seriously...check it out. The B12, SEC and Big East are all exactly .500. Unfortunately, my B1G is the only P5 conference under .500 (thanks Illinois!). That clearly means we suck damnit.

Suck it SEC fans!

If the ACC/SEC challenge were today, 14-2 in favor of the ACC this time around.

And no, Kentucky would still be in the loss column

It really could be one of the most god awful conferences I’ve ever seen. Absolutely dreadful!

If that makes you feel better when your team is hemorrhaging, then you should think about that. I’d rather beat a bad team than lose to a good one, but that’s just me. Plus how do you think Kentucky got the all time record it has? Now that the football schools are taking basketball seriously, Kentucky fans have become SEC fans more than Kentucky fans.

Their second best team is 0-4 against the SEC. Telling and pathetic.

What is the sample size?

What is the sample size?

Huge. 6 or 7 weeks of data.

Numbers do not lie!

Dude, you have to give this narrative a rest.

Just because UK fans, and to be honest, the rest of the country, are calling out the crap the ACC has become does not mean that UK fans are all of sudden conference honkers.

It is OK to acknowledge how historically awful the ACC is, just like the SEC had many lean years. Are you all of a sudden an ACC conference honker because of how much you have said the SEC sucked over the past two decades? No, probably not. So quit acting like UK fans are.

How many games?

I’m not a conference fanboy/ honker or whatever you want to call it but if the SEC does e repeat or similar to last year, get ready to hear it on all fronts.

If the conference does well I will have no problems giving props.

I hope the SEC falls flat on their face in the tournament. None of these schools in the SEC are rooting for UK to do well in the tournament, I can tell you that. No reason to pull for them, from my perspective.

I was hoping UNC was going to take out Bama last year. Didn't happen.

Speaking of last year, the SEC did have a representative in the FF, for whatever that is worth.

I’m with you. Like UNC UK is everyone’s Super Bowl within the conference so rooting for a team that you beat or lost too is crazy to me.

Given these data points, it will be embarrassing for the ACC if they don't dominate the NCAAT. 😎

I assume Duke vs. Illinois was the only non-conference game since Jan 1? 😂

 

[954gator]

Duke might carry the ACC if we're being honest. That team is solid.

Well, according to some on here, only getting 1 team in the FF isn’t good enough, so if duke is the only ACC team to make it to the FF, it means the conference failed.

Not good enough if you have multiple 1 seeds along with 10+ teams in the tournament.

 

[kyjeff1]

It depends on how good those 10 teams are.

The BIG 12 was always KU and a bunch of 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 seeds.

But yeah, the SEC is going to get three 1 seeds and some others in the 2 and 3 seed range, they have to get at least 2 in the FF. Getting 3 in there would be insane, because some SEC teams are going to beat other SEC teams along the way.

Have you ever seen conference pride and gay pride in the same room at the same time?

The SEC is a minefield, everyone here knows that but MM is a crapshoot, a different animal.

I can see the SEC getting multiple teams in the FF or none at all. How many times have you had high hopes for UK then they get upset? The same with UNC, KU, and duke.

I don’t know how this plays out but I can SEC teams playing each other in the E8 and beyond if they can make it that far.

I’ll be chillin on the couch, saving a spot for all of you.

With Calipari as the coach, we always knew in the back of our minds the talent had to win, because Cal wasn’t going to outcoach anyone, so after the 2018 season, I lost all confidence in Cal doing much of anything. He pissed away so much talent.

As far as the SEC goes, this feels different. Auburn, Florida, Alabama, Missouri and possibly UK if they get healthy.

But it’s weird, you see these teams play so great against good competition all season, then something happens in the tournament and those same teams play terribly and lose to someone they should pummel, so I have no idea what's going to happen this year, but it definitely does feel different.

 

[GhostOf301]

I think it's Auburn, Florida and Tennessee if they're consistent offensively. Alabama will be an early exit and Missouri is up and down. I could actually see Missouri make it further than Alabama, though.

The SEC is being hyped Because they're the only conference that warrants any kind of hype this year. But I don't think they're all that great.
