Gregg Doyel thinks he knows why the ACC is down.
Most of the media is picking Clemson to win the conference.
In a feature designed to get people talking, ESPN is ranking all college basketball programs in terms of prestige. They put BC in a tie for 70th. The whole thing is so silly, it is not worth the time for a proper rebuttal.

... at least BC was ranked higher than Arkansas-Little Rock in the ESPN article, which is more than BU can say.
How exactly was that ranking silly at all? Where do you expect BC to be without making it to the Final Four ever? And lets not talk about their lack of conference championships either. 70th seems like a pretty objective an thoughtful ranking.
BB - I would say it's not that BC's ranking is silly itself. It's that ESPN's obsession with ranking things like the "prestige" of college basketball programs is silly. Whether we were number one or number two hundred, and no matter who they choose for first place, the whole thing is a waste of time. We play the game to find out which team is better, so who cares about what some hack's ranking system came up with?
