We’re a ways off from league play, but we have a decent amount of information on each ACC team at this point, and so let’s see what we got goin’ on so far. There are nine ACC teams in the Pomeroy Ratings top 30, including four in the top 10.

Yes, folks, it appears that the league will be real good again. Who knew. Based on the early-season performances of everybody, there are four tiers within the league:
Duke
UVA
UNC
FSU
The 10-8 Gaggle
Louisville
Notre Dame
BC
GT
Wake
Pitt
Nine teams are playing like clear NCAA tournament-caliber squads at this point, and I would not be surprised to see Louisville work its way into that bunch as the year progresses.
