Often everyone starts conference play at the same time, so everyone has roughly similar numbers of conference games.

The ACC this year has huge differences in the number of conference games.

SO, Miami, who is probably the best team in the ACC, is currently standing at 7th in the ACC, because they have no conference games yet.
Clemson, who might be the 2nd or 3rd best team in the ACC, is currently standing at 14th in the ACC, because they have a loss!



Just really need the ACC to have Miami at #1 and then everyone else with 3-4 losses...
