Brother, Duke is a tobacco road team LOL watch the game and see what kind of calls they get. The conference leadership does not give a **** about competing for the national championship

"Our findings support the inference that referees from the ACC in particular officiate in-conference games differently than referees in other major conference alliances. Table 1 shows an analysis of the Noll-Scully measure of parity [42], with the ACC showing the greatest parity in five of the eight sample years. Particularly given the betting line bias of the ACC in-conference, there is reason to believe that the ACC handicaps its stronger teams despite the financial incentives to do the opposite. Why does the ACC engage in this behavior and have these biases among officials? One possibleexplanation is the reputation of the ACC as a basketball conference with its four founding member North Carolina institutions (Duke, UNC, Wake Forest, and NC State) yielding the most political influence; internal ACC power maybe threatened by non-founding schools with strong football that drive much of its revenue"

Putting it up for the 1000th time on CIS in case newbies have never seen it...Swofford's boys still run the conference, Phillips is a pathetic figurehead who hides in his office so Pat Fitzgerald can't get to him.

Virginia will get every call. They aren't leaving the playoff money on the table.

It doesn't matter though, the ACC has once again made its bed. Virginia will get killed in the playoff.

Can’t be bothered digging into minutiae of tie-breakers. Just seems simple being head-to/head & then highest ranked. Embarrassing to see 7-5 Duke & a Virginia team that’s been lucky as ****. Then topping it off, the league is such a **** hole that one of UVA’s losses is Non-Conference to NC State.

The fact that the tiebreaker for 3 or more teams tied that haven’t all played each other isn’t highest ranked, best overall record, or something similar is insane to me.

ACC got caught up in the “Coastal chaos” and then overall ACC chaos bull****. They thought it was cute and still think it helps their brand. Instead it ***** everybody. They have no idea how to handle the playoff system.

As ****ed as am with playoff committee, more ****ed with Mickey Mouse ACC. Process to select 7-5 Duke & not protect Miami or even GT is an abhorrent failure in leadership.
