One of the reasons that Duke had a disappointing won-lost record this season was supposedly the strength of competition in the ACC. Many fans feel that the ACC was the strongest conference this season, after a "down" year in 2005-06.

But UNC is the only ACC team that has made it to the Sweet 16, and Clemson is the only ACC team that has made it to the NIT semi-finals. Other "power conference" teams have done much better than the ACC in the post-season tournaments.

Was the ACC overrated in 2006-07 ?
