ACC teams have a 122-22 OOC record and are rated the #1 conference by RPI, Sagarin and Pomeroy. They have 16 remaining OOC games by my count and 8 of them are today. DBR did a nice job of discussing the games. I agree that there are 3 games that should be gimme wins, one that is a probable win (Md vs. Charlotte) and four competitive games. Three of the four are away games and the ACC teams will be fortunate to split the four, IMO.

One editorial comment about the DBR write-up. They state that the Terps have played "a pretty weak schedule". The RPI ranks their strength of schedule (SOS) as 89th among 343 teams. Not super strong but the Terps arguably have the toughest conference schedule and their SOS should be very good at the end of the regular season. DBR made no mention of the weak SOS of both Wake and N.C.State (284 and 310 respectively). Perhaps a little Big Four bias?
