Actually, Pitt's best chance is to win the ACCT. We could something like 11-9, get a 6 seed, get a 1st Round bye. Beat the 11, beat the 3, maybe the 2 gets upset, and maybe the 1 isnt there when we get to the Final.

To make it at 13-7, we will need a bare minimum of 2 wins over Duke/UNC/UVa. If we're 20-11 and literally have no wins over NCAAT teams or maybe just one, there's no shot. Would probably need to reach the ACCT Final and be 23-12. The ACC is just too weak.
From a competitive standpoint, do you guys disagree that the ACC (minus Duke/UVa/UNC) is roughly equal to the MWC, A10, or American? I know you say you just cant take them out. Well, its a 15 team, 20 game league. Lets take them out for hypothetical purposes. The 12 team "league within a league" is the MWC
ACC is 6th of 6 of the P6. It’s better than the rest of the leagues.
No reason to overcomplicate things by pretending certain teams in the league aren’t in it or whatever - it’s that simple.
Remember when @Sean Miller Fan claimed a mediocre Big 19 was the greatest conference ever?
Right up there with his misplaced love for Harley that he won’t acknowledge.

Its not overcomplicating it. Its a valid point. Not just this year, but in most years Duke, UNC, and UVa will be going to the NCAA Tournament and garner high seeds. There are 12 other teams in the league, which is like a league within a league. These teams are fighting each other for 1-2 NCAA bids. You realize this isnt so different than the MWC, American, and A10, correct?
No lol.
It’s just a down cycle. Louisville will be Louisville again soon, even if they have to hire Payne after this year. NC State will get Pitino or something like that. Florida St isn’t going to be 1-9 most years. Syracuse is still Syracuse.
You’re being dramatic.
For hypothetical purposes, let's take the top teams out of every conference in every sport and then compare them to lesser conferences. That would be fun.
OK, lets do that. Take out the blue bloods or near blue bloods (UVa, Az, Nova, MSU, etc) out of the P6 leagues and lets compare.
ok and if you take out Michigan, OSU, Penn St of the B10 football this year, that conference is PATHETIC. What’s your point exactly?
The ACC is better than the PAC-12. I do think SMF was correct to early identify how the SEC could make in-roads in ACC country by spending more on coaches but the PAC has been pretty bad year after year, to the extent I mentioned above that sometimes they have gotten less bids than the Mountain West or AAC.
Correct. Its basically a mid-major/high major league within a league + OSU/Mich/PSU. My point is you cant make the NCAAT out of the ACC. The league within a league is too weak.
We just got the better of the Big 10 in head to head matchups.
Awesome. We also have the 2nd worst OOC record behind the P12 (P6). But make sure you tell the committee about the ACC/B10 challenge results when they put in 9 B10 teams and 4 ACC.
How many times has the ACC only had 4 teams selected since Pitt was a full-time member?
It would have been last year had VT not won the ACC. Only 3 teams from the 12 team league within a league made it. This year, there will be 4 teams in and 1 out of the bottom 12.
I was going to post the same thing.
In the 70s everyone was saying how tough the AFC Central was. But if you took out the Steelers and Oilers, it would have been one of the weakest divisions in the NFL. Nobody ever thinks about that. Except maybe SMF.
My issue is I don’t think Eliot or Nelly can play much better than they did last night. Burton could have but I think you saw close to our ceiling last night.
Nah /
Nike is usually better and frankly we know hopefully Hugley can actually not be totally worthless
There's 15 teams in the league. Do you know how bad it is to only get 5 or 6 teams in? And this year, it will be 4.
You are comparing 5 team division with a 15 team division. The ACC has a 12 team league within league which is God awful. A 1 bid league.
This is so dumb. Why are you like this?
i will bet you literally any amount of $ you want 5 or more teams make the NCAA tournament from the ACC. You can take 4 or less. Deal? No, of course not. Because like everything else you say, you think if you repeat it enough times you can come back and say you were right or people will forget. Please I will give you my cashapp, venmo, PayPal whatever to arrange payments.
How could SMF “know college hoops” and not know Miami is a lock to make the tournament too?
Because he’s more tuned into 3rd tier tv rights of the WCC and A10?!?
And still loud wrong on those ?!?
I think we should all get in on this action!
I’m not sure his wife can cash all the checks her unemployed husband writes here !
There were only 4 teams in that division. Which should make it even more obvious that it was sarcasm. Yet you call PittPharm a moron. Keep telling us how smart you are, but don't insult other people.
