Is the ACC the new power conference of men's XC? The ACC should have 6 teams in the championship race.

The answer is a resounding YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, I'm impressed by UVA men's and women's. The new coaches have really moved them up a notch and they're young (the athletes and the coaches).

What happened to Duke though?

No. They have 15 teams, 6 making it to nationals is not all that impressive. Plus when was the last time they had a team in the mix to win it? On the mens side?

Deepest Conference. Yes.

Best Conference. Maybe.

Power House. No.

ACC: 5 teams going to Terre Haute (Cuse, UVA, ND, UNC, and NC State)

Big Ten: 3 teams (IU, Wisco, Michigan)

Pac 12: 3 teams (Oregon, Colorado, Stanford) *Powerhouse*

I'm fairly confident the ACC will put 2-3 in the top 10 at the Nat Championships this year. I might be wrong, but I doubt it.

Naw, Mountain Region is way better and wicked deep. 5 teams plus actual podium Contendahhs. No one in the ACC even has a chance of making it on the Podium.

Ivy League had 4 teams going. Half of the conference.

As a big time D1 coach, I am most impressed with the Ivy League's men's regional performances.

That's a region, not a conference.

so is the Ivy league the best conference?
