The ACC wins every year, its time for the ACC to play PAC 10 or the Big 12.
Big slow 10 is a has been relic from years gone by.

why not the sec (you know, the conference from which the national champion has emerged 2 years in a row)?
SEC has great hoops but for TV they want a bigger chunk of the market share .
SEC is the best in football year without question.

You mean the conference with 1 team currently in the top 25? Yeah, that's a powerhouse.
Yeah, the Big Ten sucks. No wonder they've had four teams hold the #1 ranking in just the last few years (OSU, WI, Illinois, MSU).
In just the last 7 years, the Big Ten has produced the runner up to the champion three times (2007-OSU, 2005-Illinois, 2002-Indiana), and the champion once (MSU-2000). Pretty sure the Big Ten had 3/4 of the Final 4 one of those years, but I don't feel like looking it up.
They suck.
Nobody cares about runner ups....
The Big 10 does not suck, but they are not consistently as deep as the ACC. The ACC usually is great at the top and solid throughout the conference. I am a little surprised the Big 10 didn't win on at least one of the ACC's down years.
The ACC/Big East challenge many years ago eventually ended because the Big East was tired of losing every year. I don't think any conference could consistently beat them in this sort of format.
The ACC is always better at the beginning of the season, but sadly fall off as the season progresses. If this challenge was played at the end of the year, it would have a very different outcome.
Ohio State will improve far more over the course of this year than North Carolina will. Hope your star shoots better than 6-19 when it counts.
The only basketball conferences that actually matter are the ACC and the Big East. And I'm not even sure about the Big East.
Hoosier will be NCAA Champions! Those young guns and transfers can only get better as they learn Sampson's system.
They really need to find someone over 6'8' to play center. Seriously, just take some kid off campus and call it a "project".

how about the pac-10 being exposed so far this season as being an overrated conference...every1 was calling them the best preseason...uva winning at arizona...stanford taking a beat down to sienna...oregon losing to st marys...usc losing to mercer come on...with the exception of ucla theyve all dropped from their inflated rankings...and now kansas st is in a battle to send oregon out of the top 25 altho it looks like oregon is gunna pull it out
No ACC fan was calling the Pac-10 the best basketball conference in the country.
I hate how the ACC is always SO overrated. By the end of the year (which, by the way, is the only time that matters), they aren't any better than the other major conferences. Duke was ranked in the top 25 for most of last season with a mediocre team, still got a 6th seed and then went out in the first round.
Bring back the ACC/Big East tourney. Not only would UNC vs. Georgetown be a great match-up, but my Terps have a chance to play a cupcake like USF. Sweet!
