Let's hear it for the big ten! They had a great year and since they've only had one good year that automatically puts them as the best conference in the nation!
Dragon2Fire: Why do you think that ACC fans are *only* fans during this time of the season? Obviously you don't understand that Duke Vs. Carolina is a <b>CONSTANT</b> state of mind and rivalry. It's also the best rivalry in the country. Who gives a fuck about Dickie V. I couldn't care less about what he says or tries to analyze.
I'll give credit where it's due. The Big Ten did out-perform the ACC when it counted. There's no doubt about that. Let's face it though. The tournament isn't always an accurate measuring device of top conference(s). If that were the case then you'd never see upsets and the tournament would be boring. It's just not like that.
As far as Duke is concerned. We were picked at pre-season to be #4 in the ACC. We were supposed to suck. We weren't supposed to get a #1 seed. I think Duke finished about where they should have considering they have no depth and have had a lot of injuries. They have a wicked recruiting class coming in next year though. We'll see how that goes.
Cheer for the conference you like, but don't be dillusional. The ACC <b>IS</b> the power conference in the Nation.
I can't wait till when a few years from now the ACC will be the power conference in Basketball and Football.
