Pomeroy says Duke is fifth! Numbers bias!

ACC fans:
Clemson and Duke lose to bad teams. Shows ACC's depth.
Marquette or Louisville lose to bad teams. Shows Big East is overrated.

I would do cartwheels if Duke was UConn's #2 or #3 seed in the east.

but when a #3 gets their ass kicked by a #10

number 10 team isnt supposed to lose rank

duke should have been out of the top 10 weeks ago

2/16/2009 4:17:51 PM

This isn't ACC bias

This is fucking UNC and Duke bias

2/16/2009 4:18:13 PM

yeap you said it

2/16/2009 4:29:39 PM

They even screwed Herb

2/16/2009 4:35:33 PM

so in football its not SEC bias, its Florida, Georgia, LSU, Alabama bias?

2/16/2009 4:38:25 PM

4>2

2/16/2009 4:39:07 PM

thats because there are more than 2 good teams in the SEC

come on man, that was too easy... I barely had time to open the bear trap

^are you saying there aren't more than 2 good acc basketball teams?



[Edited on February 16, 2009 at 5:05 PM. Reason : V nah, that's not what i was saying. or not what i meant to say, at least.]

2/16/2009 4:53:16 PM

no, you did.

2/16/2009 4:54:14 PM

It's a lot easier to argue that the ACC only has one elite team this year than it us to say the same about the SEC in football recently. Wake's only OOC quality win was BYU and Duke is obviously struggling now like every recent February.

2/16/2009 5:00:38 PM

When it comes to tournament time, they might put an ACC school in over another school if their resumes are similar because of the ACC, I'll give you that

But there are exactly 2 teams in the ACC who get extreme bias and ranking, and those are UNC and Duke. If there were some type of ACC bias, Clemson would've been the #1 team in the nation at some point this season.

Maybe this year UNC really is good enough to deserve their ranking despite their few early losses, although you'd expect the voters to want them to earn their spot back, not just get it because they're UNC.

Duke on the other hand has been exposed over the last few years of having sub-par talent compared to the Duke teams of only 4-5 years ago, let alone the 80s and 90s.

But Jaybee don't act like this is some ACC VS. SEC thing. This is a case of UNC and Duke having the media on their dicks all the time, not the media slurping the whole conference.

And I think the SEC is year in and year out the best football conference. This year though you're probably the 6th best basketball conference, you guys are horrible.

2/16/2009 6:02:18 PM

Honestly though, who are you going to put in there?

the "good" teams have been dropping like flies over the past few weeks.

2/16/2009 6:06:43 PM

its one thing to lose close games

its another to lose to clemson by 40 points and still get that ranking

2/16/2009 6:07:53 PM

Hey hey... I didnt say I believed this... just said that other fans out there think there is a big evil, multinational ACC bias

2/16/2009 6:08:50 PM

but ucla can go 5-4 in their last 9 and still be ranked 15 and michigan st., with 2 recent loses to penn state and northwestern has risen to 5 in the polls?!?
