The ACC is once again a topic of national conversation as we approach the NCAA Tournament.
Once again, the conference, according to several big-name media companies, is having a down year. For example, in the past week alone, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports, Joe Lunardi of ESPN, and The Field of 68 have rated the Mountain West Conference higher than the ACC in either power rankings, comparisons on TV, or in NCAA Tournament bracket predictions.
In Lunardi’s bracket prediction, the ACC only has three teams in the NCAA Tournament field. This, just one year after the conference had the third-highest win percentage in last year’s NCAA Tournament. Its teams went 7-5 in last year’s Tournament, a run that included Miami getting all the way to the Final Four.
