Clemson is very good

It’s really dumb that the ACC doesn’t have everyone play each other. I really hope this gets fixed soon.

Really wish we played them. I think we match up well.

Seems like the ACC is making this harder than it needs to be.

18 teams, 18 conference games, play everyone once and your designated rival twice.

Maybe we can get Clemson in the 2-3 game in the ACCT. Agree though it’s idiotic we don’t have a regular season game with them.

Jeez I didn’t realize how bad Miami’s conference schedule was. Looks like our football schedule. They may win the conference regular season off schedule alone lol

Thanks ACC, I hate it!

The next few weeks are going to be a little frustrating in terms of metrics.

We’re essentially double digit favorites via Torvik for the rest of the way - exceptions are ND (A), Ohio State (N), and Duke (A).

I’ll take a hard stretch to establish ourselves up top and then an easy stretch to keep momentum going

Gonna be interesting to see:

  • can Nc st get its S together
  • What does Lville look like with a healthy Brown
  • Is UNC a top 40ish team or top 20ish team
  • Nobody read this: is uva a 3-seed caliber team or did we just have a really good few weeks

I’m triggered that Neo is on this list at all let alone ahead of Thijs and Malik

Arguably the second-best team in the conference and only one player in the top 25?

If this were anywhere close to accurate, just give Odom COTY now.

8 players from the state of North Carolina before Thijs. Including arguably the national bust of the season in Williams. Welcome to the ACC!

And we don’t even play ā€œboringā€ basketball anymore! It was more explainable when people clearly just sorted by stats, but we score a lot of points now! Maybe just too deep and distribute it around too much to get the eye-popping numbers.

Guys on this list who wouldn’t be in my top 25:

  • Trimble
  • Reeves Jr
  • Williams
  • McCray V
  • Pierre Jr
  • Avdalas

Most egregious misses:

  • Fru
  • Grünloh
  • Mallory

Less egregious (because they have their warts) but probably better than who is on the list:

  • Malik (will be more egregious if he keeps up his current run of form)
  • McNeil Jr
  • Whoever you think the 2nd best Clemson player is (Porter/Wahlin/Welling)
  • Wooley or Hadley

We don’t score a lot of individual stats because of spreading the love … it’s fine … the efficiency stats show it.

I’m still recalibrating to the idea that we have 18 teams… meaning I have to adjust my mental model of what it takes to make it onto a list like this. (It’s much harder than it was when I first built that mental model, and we had only 8 teams. And it doesn’t feel very long ago that we had only 11.)

That said, Duke has 3 players on this list, UNC has 3 (!), SMU has 3, NC State has 2, and Miami has 2 in the top 6.

So c’mon.
