Whatever supports your agenda, like I said I hate Izzo, but what did he say that was so erroneous? You could make the case for all 3, different sites are going to have different rankings.
There is no denying the fact the ACC has 5 really bad bottom feeders which inflate the records of some other teams. Plus with the unbalanced schedule a team like Virginia Tech made a killing this year feasting off of them. I wish we could play the the worst teams in the conference twice, while avoiding the best teams, and then get a 4 seed.
