I miss important phone calls sometimes...

The Big East may have more good teams in its ranks, but let's not forget that ACC basketball is pretty much an affair of the original 8 teams. The rest of the conference is merely a fashionable accessory to generate football revenue (the jury is out on BC). Now, somebody please explain to me how the core group, composed of UNC, Duke, NC State, Wake Forest, Virginia, Maryland, Georgia Tech, and Clemson can be beat.
Of course, you have the rivalries in the Big East. ESPN stops what they are doing to drool over the big UConn / Syracuse game, and broadcast it on approximately 30 channels. Wait, sorry. I was thinking about Duke / Carolina. We win championships, we beat non-conference teams, and we're fun to watch. What else matters?
