[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 50812, member: 322"] Hall is being nice. There is a massive difference between the first three and bottom three teams. The top 3 lost a total 23 ACC games (about 740 winning %) and the bottom 3 lost 48 games and were below 500. What this tournament shows is that the round robin format favors the fortunate. I like the double elimination more, but didn't we have to go to this format due to time constraints? Either this or reduce the field to 6 or so to start...... What is ironic is that we swept Duke during the regular season. That's why I thought we would have trouble with them. We are not that much better than Duke, but we are usually better. But I don't see it as a crime for Duke to go if they win. They will have won 2 of 3 just like us. I blame the format. But I don't think Duke will win. [B]Duke is Duke[/B] and seems to choke in football and baseball; this is their first ACC tourney I heard since 1999. {Note, Boyd's World updated the RPI at 0730 this morning, Duke is now 82nd.
