College Basketball ACC Rankings for December 10

9. Notre Dame

For three years in South Bend, the Irish have been searching for someone to take a little load off the plate of Markus Burton. They may have finally found it in freshman Jalen Haralson. This duo powered them over Missouri and TCU just this week.

10. Syracuse

My expectations for the Orange were quite low this season, but they have surpassed them. Even without Donnie Freeman and not yet bringing Kiyan Anthony into a prominent role, they were competitive against great competition at the Players Era. And they just beat Tennessee, a legitimate Final Four threat, at home.
