Eye test of ACC is just not the same as the Tyler Hansbrough years and hope we can all agree on that. No juggernaut teams where we know that VT just has no chance. This is not the same league from years ago and was curious about how much easier Mike Young has it in conference relative to his predecessors so decided to take a closer look. Spoiler: a LOT! From teamrankings.com and, yes, this is not the end all be all bc it is RPI-based but it helps tell the story a bit. Simply put, Brent and Seth had it so much harder than Mike Young and pretty much produced comparable results (outside of the ACC tourney, duh!) Young's is even worse if we add in the extra 4 games he has in conf vs all the crappy competition. Yes, he produced an incredible tourney run.. but he also lays turd after turd in conference.. particularly this year.
