More to the point, there are very, very few matchups in conference play that we should expect to win by 20 or more. If we play UVA at home this year, that's one I would put in the 20+ category. It might be the only one. Expecting to win an ACC road game by 20 or more is silly. It can certainly happen (see Wake at BC), and it's great when it happens, but it really can't be expected.
