I wrote this piece in December and I appreciate you sharing it. Currently we're projected to win 2.73 more games according to KenPom, with .31 of those wins coming against State. If we do not win against State, then the projection will change from 17 wins to 16 wins as it will become more likely we win 2 more than 3 more.
I'd almost be surprised if we get 3 more conference wins. There's a decent chance we'd need another road win to get there and asking Bzzz to win more than 1 road ACC game a year is just too much.
Clemson, Miami and BC suck. State, FSU and Maryland aren't much better. I'm not saying we will win 3 more games, but we have at least as much talent as all those teams (and more than the 1st 3 teams). So when you step back from looking at how much we suck and see that most of the conference sucks just as badly, it's certainly conceivable we can win another 2, 3 or even 4 games. We're in danger of having only 4 of 15 teams dancing, and UNC is the only other team remotely on the bubble at this point.

The few times I've seen FSU they've looked bad. They just lost to State and Clemson at home. And barely beat a bad ND team at home. They ain't gonna finish > .500 in conference play, and that should put them on the underside of the bubble.
Look, the reason Clemson and FSU have decent records is both Hamilton and Brownell coach good defense. And in this shitetastic ACC, that's enough to get you maybe to .500. But you put those teams in the Big-10 or Big-12, and they'd be pounded on a regular basis. Just like MD will get pounded next year in the Big-10 if Turgeon doesn't get them a whole lot better quickly.
FSU is projected to go 10-8 in the conference. Also the ACC isn't bad this year at all.
We've already had this conversation before. I was talking relative to the rest of the teams in the country this year, the ACC is pretty good.
The conference has six of the top 30 teams on KenPom. No conference with 15 teams is going to have every game worth watching. The Big 12 is close this year though...no breaks there...eight of ten teams are having pretty good years.
