If State and Wake were switched in the above scenario, I doubt many State fans would like it. With the ACC’s determination to make sure teams are forced to play each other regardless of rivalries and geography, any Big Four team that ended up as an odd-man-out would be screwed big-time. The current system might leave State and Carolina as out-of-division opponents twice a season, but it would take away our home-and-away setup from Wake like it already does with Duke, while the other 3 Big Four members would return to twice a season games vs each other.

As for seeds, I’m still not convinced that State will get higher than an 8 or 9 seed, and in fact could end up a 10 or even lower. Yes, they finished strong except for BC and Duke, but they SUCKED most of January and part of February. I hope I’m wrong here, but to me the Pack had way too many WTF losses this season to merit a seeding higher than a 10.

And had we been allowed to have played Duke TWICE this season as we had historically done until John Swofford came along, I seriously doubt we would have been ambushed by Duke in a 3rd meeting in the ACCT.

I’m one of those who’d like to see State abandon this GD conference and go it alone if need be, because this league has turned Blue and has clearly demonstrated that it doesn’t give a tinker’s damn about State and Wake Forest. So much for founding members.
