Conference play no longer is the great equalizer.(COLLEGE BASKETBALL)
You don't need to understand the RPI formula to recognize the difference between Clemson's 10-0 start and UConn's 10-0 start. It all comes down to scheduling.
The Huskies enjoyed their share of comfortable evenings but only after slicing through Arkansas, Arizona and Gonzaga in the Maui Invitational. Clemson opened the season as if ft were interested in moving to the MEAC.
Conference play used to even out such things. But with leagues growing like black mold, there are scheduling disparities within the top conferences that could impact championship races.
ACC
Highway to heaven: Maryland. Yes, the Terps are stuck playing Duke twice--hey, they insisted on it--but they also go twice against Virginia, Georgia Tech and Miami, teams that began the week 19-14 combined.
Hellacious road: Wake Forest. I warned the Deacs way back when not to vote for ACC expansion. Now their football team is 4-7, and their basketball team is weighed down by two games against Duke, Boston College and N.C. State.
