The Tar Heels have certainly had their ups and downs this season, but you have to think they will get it together once ACC play gets going in full.
The Tigers have ACC wins over Miami and Wake Forest, but back-to-back losses to Memphis and South Carolina earlier this month hurt. They get an interesting test from Stanford at home on Wednesday.
The schedule was not too kind to the Panthers as they went three weeks in between home games and a daunting road schedule. They had wins over LSU and Ohio State in overtime, before being routed at Mississippi State and then bouncing back with a gritting road win at Virginia Tech.
Without a doubt, the biggest surprise this season has been the Mustangs in their first season in the ACC. They have cracked the 100-point plateau four times already this season and just missed a fifth time with 98 points on Sunday against Longwood.
Losses to Kentucky and Kansas are not going to hurt the Blue Devils at all who at the clear favorites in the ACC as the schedule ramps up. They already have conference wins at Louisville and Georgia Tech.
