Check out the Strength of Schedule of ACC teams:
per Sagarin (actual Sagarin ranking in parenthesis)
SOS
#1......UNC (14)

#5......Maryland (26)
#6......WF (6)
#7......GT (9)
#9......NC ST (12)

per CollegeRPI.com (actual RPI in parenthesis)
SOS
#2.....Clemson (64)
#3.....DOOK (1)
#5.....Maryland (34)
#6.....UNC (13)
#7.....WF (10)
#11...NC ST (14)
#14...GT (15)
#37...Virginia (59)
#41...FSU (41)
Bottom line is that the ACC is the toughest conference. And playing each other means our schedule strength consistently stays high. In my mind there is ZERO doubt that the ACC will get 6 in, and Maryland can help their case in the final weeks by winning a few more games.
