That's why I actually watch games to decide which teams are good. Going by rankings is never a good idea. Rankings are always biased.probably the last week a acc team is ranked #1 this season. the whole league is just not that good.
Lville was took apart by TT last night.
Exactly.... Early season rankings are always biased to protect the RPI of so called cartel conferences. When tourney time comes, they have all played each other and their strength of schedule is padded by early season "rankings". Gives them an edge over fringe mid major teams that have had exceptional years, but didn't win their conference.That's why I actually watch games to decide which teams are good.

how does a mid major have an exceptional year and not win their conference? Or do you mean losing their conference tourney?Exactly....

is it? Are you saying the regular season conference performance is meaningless to the seeding process? That the only "win" is the tourney for mid majors?Same thing.

i dont think that the regular season performance is made up .No. I’m saying that (at least in the case of the ACC) the tournament champion is the conference champion.
Regular season champion is some made-up .

it is far more indicative of a team's value than a 4 game run at the end of the year.
You keep trying to put words in my mouth. It’s kind of annoying.
I SAID.....”regular season champion “ (and I specifically cited the ACC) is some made up .
There’s only one conference champion. That’s the tournament champion.
and how does that banner hanging go? Anyone know?We've had this conversation before so just wanted to add on to your comments directly from the ACC and refresh everyone's memory.
"Since July 1, 1961, the ACC's bylaws have included the phrase "and the winner shall be the conference champion" in referring to the tournament, meaning that the conference tournament winner is the only champion of the ACC. The ACC is unique in college basketball in that it does not recognize a regular season champion in any way, although it does permit the regular season winner to hang a banner if it wishes, so long as the banner makes it clear that the title is not official. "

Any school besides unc hang a regular season acc banner?

Its always been little weird to me to not recognize regular season champ. teams can get hot and win few in row in conf tourn. Regular season you have play everyone
Still every team plays each other once if I'm not mistaken so better than being able to avoid some better teams in tourn and such small sample compared to 18 reg season conf games. I love the tourn style but I just think what you do all season 18 vs 4 games should be greater rewardUnbalanced ACC schedules doesn't really produce a regular season champion.
Play everyone twice and then you'll have a clear cut regular season champion and one that I would be ok with recognizing.
