Bracketology: Disastrous mid-week for ACC bubble teams

Ideally, if you’re the ACC, N.C. State beats Duke, Notre Dame upsets Florida State, Clemson takes care of business at Virginia Tech.

Yeah, none of that happened.

Syracuse did handle Boston College, so, Jim Boeheim, again, living on the edge.

I still think, where we are now, that we’re looking at the ACC just getting four.

Here’s the latest.
