But, it is certainly dominating in golf.
Men's Final Eight.
4 ACC teams in the final 8.
No other conference has more than 1.
Match play going on now. It will be on Golf Channel starting at noon, if anyone is interested.

Final Four last 2 years -

Would it be that we could get the same sort of results in the upcoming 12-team CFP.

Winners of 7 of the last 14 national championships and an ACC team has appeared in 12 of the last 14 national championship games.

Basketball has fallen off. I love these younger folks who do not remember when the ACC was king. The fact that Brownell led us as high as he did this year is a testament to that fact that the ACC is down.

And start giving credit to the coach. The ACC put a team in the final four. The remainder of the so-called Power Five were MIA.

That might be a valid point had Brownell been the coach of that team. Or beaten that team. Lol.

that last year was a down year for the ACC and that Clemson benefitted greatly from not having to play the top teams in he league at or or more than once, just further confirms that you need to take your head out of your own a$$.

The league is a shell of what it once was and it’s not even close.
