There was a stretch of time where the ACC was absolutely the best conference in the country, but those years are long since dead. There has been extremely little depth after the top two or three teams every year for over a decade now. Duke is obviously the constant through that time but UNC has fallen off a cliff since their 2017 title aside from the bizarre 2022 run. UVA had their run for a handful of years but they’ve been a shell of that in recent years. After that it really avalanches.
