You'll notice that my earlier predictions were very similar to the basketball writers' picks. In fact, the predicted order was identical except I chose Boston College 9th and Georgia Tech 10th and the writers flip-flopped those two teams.
ReplyDeleteThe First Team All-ACC squad was identical except that I have Harrison Barnes as the fifth player while the writers at Operation ACC Basketball put Chris Singleton as the fifth player.
Any other predictions out there? Do you think Singleton will be better than Barnes this year?
