    Is there any real dominate team in the ACC?

    The ACC has mostly unstoppable teams. Basically the only teams that can beat them is themselves. But is any team mailny dominate in the ACC?? Most of the time anybody can lose to anybody in that conference. As showed in Duke's 2 consecutive losses that they aren't completely unstoppable. Will any team ever dominate the ACC???

    Standings:
    Conf. Overall
    Duke 11-2 22-3
    NC State 9-3 17-6
    Wake Forest 7-5 17-6
    Georgia Tech 6-6 19-7
    Florida State 6-7 18-9
    North Carolina 6-7 16-8
    Maryland 5-8 14-10
    Virginia 5-9 15-10
    Clemson 3-11 10-15

    I don't think there is one team that is dominating the conferance, but Duke has played well this year which has put them on top. NC state is good, but the team that Duke has to watch out for believe it or not I think is Wake Forest. They always seem to pull off wins, even when there down late in the game. They aren't given enough attention by other teams, which is a big mistake on there parts.

    There isn't a dominant team this year, but duke has really dominated the acc for like the past 6 years. They're almost always in the acc conference finals. This year its pretty balanced, which is great.

    Duke could be called the most dominant team even with there 2 consecutive losses. UNC, Wake Forest, and Georgia Tech could be 10-3 in other conferences, but in the ACC they float around .500, thats how good it is.

    No, not one obvious dominant team, but Duke is certainly the favorite...I believe Duke and NC State are the class of the ACC, but Duke should win it...

    Listen, their is no favorite in the ACC. It is so even this year, if you chose a dominant team for the past 5 years it would be duke flat out. This year though, it's fairly even. Any team, well, many teams, can beat top seeds like duke and nc state. No telling what can happen.

    yea it is pretty well evened out unlike other years where duke or sumbody would just blow everybody out every game. I do like it now, anybody can beat anybody thats how it should be.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting STCBBall3:</div><div class="quote_post">NC State? Yeah, we (UNC) only beat them twice.</div>Who cares? They're 10-4, you're 8-7. And they only lost by 2 at UNC.

    Anyway, I think everyone needs to start taking a look at Virginia. The talk of bubble teams has been about Florida State and Maryland, but Virginia is starting to really make their case. It's really been a sudden turn around for a team that was routinely getting blown out early in the conference season. Everyone was saying if Florida State can get to 7-9, and if Maryland can get to 7-9, they should be in. How about Virginia?

    They compare favorably in some regards to both of those teams and at 6-9, could finish at the 7-9 mark with a win over Maryland.

    Florida State has lost three games straight.
    Virginia has won four of five.

    Of Maryland's conference wins, only one has come against the top 5 in the league.
    Virginia has three.

    But I really don't know if any of them should make it. [​IMG] I think Maryland is pretty much out of the picture now anyway.

    you're not even making any sense at all. "mostly unstoppable teams".. then please explain the 74 losses those 10 teams share.

    that whole paragraph just doesn't make sense, you contradicted yourself sentence after sentence... after sentence. (but i got the "acc" part, so i'll just reply with something acc related.)

    "the acc has mostly unstoppable teams" - (AWFUL ARGUMENT to begin with).

    teams dominate the acc all the time.
    duke has had it's span, clearly the players like grant hill and laettner aren't there anymore.
    unc has had it's span, antawn, vince, rasheed, stack, and the greats before them. sorry, rashad mccants doesn't match up.
    maryland had it's span.
    wake had it's span.
    it's a rotation.
    right now it's nobody that's the "dominant #1".

    and if i had to pick the best team in the acc..
    it'd be wake forest.

    Duke is still having its span. Who cares about Laettner? They've recently had Jay Williams, Carlos Boozer, Mike Dunleavy, going back a little further, Elton Brand. Duke is still as strong as ever. You're always mad at everyone, it seems.

    christian laettner blows all those duke bums away. get real. he was probably the finest player duke had. one of the greatest college players ever.

    elton brand, jay williams, boozer, and dunleavy are not going down in college history as some of the best to have ever played college ball. laettner is already light years ahead of them.

    who cares about laettner? i cared about laettner.

    How bout Grant Hill? He all the sudden sucked in his time at Duke, cause, yea, none of you have really said anything about him. And, just a thought about Laettner, what is he doing now? Nothing last I knew. Boozer is turning into a heck of a player, Brand is one of the more dominating Western Conf power forwards, no one really knows what Jay Williams could have been due to his motorcycle accident, and, well, Hill....he's just been consistently injured to say the least. But, yea, he WAS having a fantastic career prior to than. But, yea, Laettner, may have been the best college, probalby not pro though. But, yea, that's all I'm saying about him. I never really seen him in college, hence why I didn't bash him about his college career.

    I am not saying UNC is a dominate team. I am saying that no one is a dominate team. If people consider NC St dominant, then they lost twice to UNC. Anyone can beat anyone in the ACC.

    It's like that almost every year in the ACC. Actually its like that in pretty much every conference there are always upsets during conference play. Teams like St. Joes and Stanford are a rarity. And Christian Laettner was only one of the greatest college players ever.

    i'm not talking about what christian laettner is doing NOW.

    i was talking about his DUKE DAYS, since we were on the topic of DUKE BASKETBALL. not the nba.

    there have been plenty of out-standing college players.. really out-standing college players such as laettner that just didn't cut it in the nba.

    but, once again, that's not the topic.
