But the ACC is setting a higher bar.
Certainly the ACC has plenty to crow about this year, with six teams in the Sweet 16. Last season it had five teams get this far.
In the last two years the ACC had as many Sweet 16 entrants (11, for those weak on math) as the Pac-12 has had over the past seven seasons. Over the past three years the ACC has enjoyed as many Sweets (12) as the SEC had in the seven years since 2010.
Only the Big 10 matches, and actually eclipses by one, the ACC’s participation in the Sweet 16 since the start of this decade.
