Expansion hasn't been kind to the league if bracketology is only projecting 3 ACC teams in the field.

More automatic bids, more mid-majors, and more basketball powers in the West make it a harder now than it used to be when most of the really good basketball was played by big schools in the Midwest and East Coast.

Not sure I can agree with your logic
There are now more slots (68) for teams and they have certainly outpaced the additions of automatic qualifiers. If mid majors and/or west coast teams are taking spots, then they’ve passed the East coast teams. We’re still behind a majority of all categories
Also, the ACC has more members now so that should provide more opportunities to participate, albeit at a lower percentage of the total conference members

I was told that the ACC has 8-10 very good teams.

We should learn not to believe that source any more.

And Clemson remains, for the most part, middle of the pack. Telling. Very Telling.

Maybe as a whole but the same acc has always had a team or 2 make a deep run in the big dance every year, with a couple of champions, despite the lack of teams being put in from the conference. I'd say the acc has done more with little than other conferences that have put it way more every year.

The ACC only has 3 teams in, one of them being Clemson. Look, I love Clemson basketball as much as anyone, but the ACC has to be nervous knowing only 20% of their teams have a shot at getting in according to ESPN, and 33% of those teams are coached by CBB. I just hope this doesn't put additional pressure on CBB. He's a great coach, who I defend, but I don't think he responds as well to higher expectations as he does to lower ones. Hopefully WF or NC State can get in if we slip.

Yeah ESPN is more accurate.
And not even accurate, if we get in we’ll be a 10/11 seed
