Petty but irritating nonetheless

Went to our conference’s official basketball standings. Love how they managed to squeak Duke ahead of us in the list. Sheesh.

I would think it was due to their .742 overall win record, versus our .710, and the fact they have won their last six games, versus our one...maybe?

All of that is irrelevant. It was an error, period. We are 3, Duke is 4.

None of that matters in ACC tourney seeding. We are ahead

because we BEAT Duke on the court.

We are ahead of Duke due to that one all-important factor.

Do you really think OOC wins count in the conference standings?

ESPN has Clemson 3rd, Duke 4th

USA Today has it reversed

The CBS Sports mobile app has Duke shown 3rd also. All that I fully expect, but the ACC website needs to do better.

This made me angry, so I emailed them and to their credit they

We should all pause to recognize TNET has an official accomplishment. This may be the first time post bowl office fax machines.

Had us in third when I looked. Good work!

Typical media bias. And yes, it certainly is a bias.


Mar 6, 2023, 12:17 PM

It may not be a conscious bias, but the act of automatically putting Duke ahead of Clemson when the conference records are identical is a long-standing knee jerk reaction.

I mean … it’s Duke, after all.

Researching the facts is too much trouble for them.

Lutz. So, it's double bias against Pitt?***

Pitt is 5th...that is accurate.

I’m more interested in where we finish and if we will get invited to the main event. We got the double bye so regardless of how they have it listed we have that going for us.
