The early NET ratings don’t have a high opinion of the ACC, which is hopefully not something that will be the case a month from now, but at this point is a little concerning. There are only four ACC teams in the top 50—NC State among them—which puts the conference behind most of the Power Six.
Top-50 NET teams:
1.) Big Ten (12)
2.) Big East (8)
3.) Big 12 (6)
4.) Pac-12 (5)
5.) ACC (4)
6.) SEC (3)
A vulnerable ACC is not a bad thing from a selfish NC State perspective, but with five teams currently outside the top 100, it’s looking like there are more than a few landmines on the schedule, which is worrying.
