This Week in the ACC: 12/6-12/12
Bit of a mixed bag for the week. The ACC lost the challenge, but not by as wide a margin as it could have been, scoring wins in several games in which the ACC team was the underdog. The conference is no longer the worst of the power 6 (thank you PAC-12). There’s a little opportunity in the pre-exam week for extra marquee wins, but if we can just avoid bad losses (I’m looking at you, Pitt, as a home underdog to Colgate and a home barely favorite to Monmouth) that will be an accomplishment in and of itself.
