Clemson is very good
Itās really dumb that the ACC doesnāt have everyone play each other. I really hope this gets fixed soon.
Really wish we played them. I think we match up well.
āSaturdayās upsetā. Err werenāt we 1.5 pts favoritesā¦.
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 itās idiotic we donāt have a regular season game with them.
Jeez I didnāt realize how bad Miamiās 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.
Weāre essentially double digit favorites via Torvik for the rest of the way - exceptions are ND (A), Ohio State (N), and Duke (A).
Iāll take a hard stretch to establish ourselves up top and then an easy stretch to keep momentum going
Watching some tape of Clemson they are very 2014 UVA ā¦. Got a guy like A Gill
Clemson: 27 (-2)
NC State: 28 (+6)
Miami FL: 35 (-5)
Wake Forest: 66 (-8)
Florida State: 116 (+17)
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
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 donāt even play āboringā 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 wouldnāt 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 donāt score a lot of individual stats because of spreading the love ⦠itās fine ⦠the efficiency stats show it.
Iām 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. (Itās much harder than it was when I first built that mental model, and we had only 8 teams. And it doesnāt 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 cāmon.
