Not outside the team of po$$ibility… but if they were throwing it, they are a bunch of masochists. That was exhausting

Had high hopes they'd pull it off when they took the lead.

ACC could lose all the rest of their games and they still will have outperformed the experts. Amazing.
"Listen, we weren't happy with our seedings or matchups. We pay our coaches buh-billions so we should've been given a bye to the elite-8. Wheres the BCS when you need 'em?" -SEC guy ... it just means mor(ons)e

That’s the spirit! Twist the knife at every opportunity.
"Listen, our players didn't wanna be there. They were getting ready for the draft or ... also getting 4 more covid years added so ... do these losses really count?" - SEC guy

The gap between the ACC fans insulting their own league all year and SEC and Big 12 fans making stuff up about how great they are has an effect on things like CFP and NCAAT selection. As much as it shouldn't, it does.
See the goofball ACC hating media in Raleigh as a primary source.

I hate to do the typical 'bash the media' thing but, as you describe, all this stuff matters nowadays. The SEC 'plays the game' better than anyone. And, as the CFP and tournament selection shows us, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
Ol' backwoods a** ACC chiefs sitting on their fat arses like all they gotta do is whip it out and all the action gonna come. But the reality is they got a beer belly, they're balding, and that tact stopped working like 13 years ago.
America needs to rise up and overthrow the shackles of SEC tyranny!

I understand the screaming about the SEC, but the Big East got the only three they deserved. Seton Hall and St Johns had some really ugly losses.

UNC beat a 19 and 9 seed as a 1 seed - met expectations
Duke beat a 13 and 12 seed as a 4 seed - met expectations
Clemson beat a 11 seed and a 2 seed - met expectations and exceeded expectations
NCST beat a 6 seed and a 14 seed - beat and met expectations
UVA lost to a 10 seed as a 20 seed - toss up
Summary - The ACC teams won every game they were a favorite (6 games) and won 2 games as an underdog. They lost one game they were the same seed. Excellent performance. The Committee got the right ACC teams into the tournament!

The highest seeds to push through to the Sweet 16 were Clemson (6) and NCSt (11). Only Duke (4) and SDSt (5) were above a 3 seed among the rest.
The ACC was woefully underrated yet again. I agree with ESPN, ACC fans are their own worst enemy, being so impatient with early season losses. It all just reinforces the false narrative of SEC/BIG domination.
