4. ACC (24-25, 49%) -- averaging 3.27 GP per team (Syracuse 5-0)

I think Syracuse and Pittsburgh are a combined 8-1. Take those two new additions to the conference and the ACC is in dead last right now.

If Northwestern wasn't dumb and scheduled more like they expected to not be a great team, the Big Ten could've been a lot better off. No reason for Northwestern to take on UCLA, Mizzou, and Stanford this year. Awful team, and clearly they hurt the B1G and weren't particularly close against any of those teams.

So, their schedule is a lot like O$U's should be?
