ACC
Projected Champion: Duke
Possible Contenders: North Carolina, Virginia
At-Large Bids:
Notre Dame,
Miami, Virginia Tech, Syracuse, Florida State
I’m
going to go out on a limb here and guess Louisville does not play in the NCAA
tournament this year. Two months ago
they had enough talent to be a legit Championship contender. Now, not so much. Enough on that though. Duke pops up as the #1 preseason team but I’d
be weary of giving them the title already.
As Kurly said earlier if they can’t be a top 25 defense they can’t win a
title. That’s still a legit concern in
Durham. North Carolina is poised to be a
top 10 team and when Joel Barry comes back from his broken hand this team is
going to be a handful. Virginia will
continue to bore the hell out of me and beat a bunch of un disciplined
teams. Notre Dame will be fun to watch
and is a dark horse Final Four contender.
Miami has enough talent to get a mid-range bid and Buzz Williams gets
enough out of his players to get a low seed.
Syracuse is always in the mix for an at-large bid regardless of their
poor Non-Conference schedule. Count them
as sweating out Selection Sunday.
