You would be making a serious mistake if you consider any team an easy out in the ACCT. I'll never forget a terrible Bob Wade coached last place Maryland team beating top rated moo one year or a not so great Wake team beating us when George Karl missed a last second outside shot.
a double bye eases some of the pressure.. but not much.... so i totally agree with gary I wouldn't be surprised to see one team in the championship game that wasn't expected to be there.
