Just like the McRib, the ACC is back. After a few down years of getting fewer than 5 teams in the NCAA Tournament, the conference is going to have around 10 teams vying for a bid once conference play starts. It’s going to be fun to watch. Here’s how I would rank them right now:
NCAA Basketball: ACC Rankings for December 10
1. Duke
The Blue Devils sit at 10-0, with five wins over the KenPom top-60. This is a dream start for a team that had to replace most of its starting 5 from last season. Cameron Boozer is looking like the perfect succession plan to Cooper Flagg.
2. Louisville
If not for an unusually poor shooting night at Bud Walton Arena (8-37 from 3), the Cardinals may still be undefeated. The freshman Mikel Brown and transfer Ryan Conwell have been every bit as good as advertised. The rivalry win over Kentucky will feel good for another 365 days.
