Who Rules the ACC? Power Rankings Unleashed
The ACC’s hierarchy is laid bare as Duke sits atop the conference with high expectations and every team gunning for the Blue Devils’ throne. Joe Lunardi slots the ACC at No. 5 nationally, projecting six NCAA bids and an average seed of 6.2.

Meanwhile, Louisville’s Cinderella story wants us to forget its recent flop, making us all brace for that Jan. 6 showdown like it’s the Super Bowl… of college basketball. Grab your popcorn, folks—it’s ACC: The Redemption Arc.
