you have to love the ACC for valentine's day

a lot of people are talking about ACC basketball right now, and many are coming to the same conclusion; the ACC is the best conference that will get screwed by the NCAA tournament committee* (see previous post's note about periods and astericks) if you watched this past weekend's terps vs blue devils game, you'll start to see my point* everybody knows that the terps (male or female, at this point) aren't setting the world on fire with their success* and yet, the teams are good enough to take down the tough teams in the conference* as a result, on the surface, the in-conference records seem mediocre (see duke's 5-6 in the ACC)* that is what the NCAA tourney committee will see when they consider picks and rankings, so the likelihood is that fewer ACC teams will be selected for march madness* other conferences that have some teams always blowing out the bottom half will look like better fodder for the tournament, even if their in-house competition is terrible* am i making my point, or am i being a little bit convoluted (sp)?

anyway, the ACC is a quality conference, and because of a lack of all-out domination on the part of a few teams, it might get somewhat snubbed for march madness*

BUT WHO LOVES THE TERPS?!!!!!! when it comes to sports, there's no better valentine* nothing is more romantic than riots on rt 1*
