  Basket ball. Let's move over to the ACC. Speaking of the ACC,
• 0:03
  North Carolina trying to vie for one of those number one seeds, maybe even
• 0:07
  a two set with There'll be no less than a two duke North Carolina,
• 0:10
  no surprise at the top. By your numbers, you would have them playing
• 0:14
  in the championship game Duke with a little bit better chance at least percentage by
• 0:18
  it's forty one percent chance to win the whole thing in the ACC on a
• 0:20
  neutral court in North Carolina thirty three percent. Then followed by Clemson, Wake
• 0:24
  Forest, Pittsburgh, and Virginia. Yeah, I think Virginia is the team
• 0:29
  I want to start with. They're the three seed and I've got them all
• 0:32
  the way down with the sixth best chance to win the ACC Championship. I
• 0:37
  really like Tony Bennett. I love this story of the twenty nineteen team,
• 0:40
  you know, getting beat by UNBC in twenty eighteen, coming back the next
• 0:43
  year and winning the whole thing. It's a great program. They played great
• 0:47
  defense. But the power rating numbers don't necessarily think that Virginia is all that
• 0:52
  strong of a team. So if you're looking for a team in the top
• 0:54
  four seeds, so maybe not advance to the semi finals. Virginia by my
• 0:58
  numbers, is your best bet there. But I'll go back to the top
• 1:00
  because you said it. Duke is my favorite in the ACC. Despite North
• 1:03
  Carolina being the number one seed and North Carolina having beaten Duke twice this year,
• 1:10
  by my power rating, Duke is still a quote stronger team. Again,
• 1:12
  power ratings aren't the end all be all. You have to apply context.
• 1:15
  That's up to every single viewer of the numbers and everyone that's taking it
• 1:19
  all in. It's a piece of the puzzle. But if you're looking just
• 1:23
  at the power rating, Duke does have the best chance to win the ACC
• 1:26
  by my numbers, and as you mentioned, Duke in North Carolina both with
• 1:30
  better than a fifty percent chance to make it to the ACC Championship game.
• 1:34
  So those two teams really are the class of the ACC. I think you
• 1:38
  know by the power ratings, but also if you've been watching college basketball this
• 1:41
  year, I think most would probably agree to that.
