The ACC is perceived to be down this year.
The metrics and math guys seem to hate the ACC, there are real questions about just how many teams from the conference will get into the NCAA tournament, and some national analysts wonder if the ACC has any teams who will make the "second weekend" once the tournament begins.
Heck, the narrative is so loud even players from other leagues, like West Virginia's Erik Stevenson, have openly begun to parrot it and say silly things about it.
