With a subregional in Buffalo and a regional in New York City, there is no secret that Syracuse wants to be in the East. With all the bracketology columns around the Internet, there are as many opinions as there are, well, you know the saying. So here is the question–where do Duke and Virginia fans WANT to be placed in the Big Dance?
Here are four polls… where do you think each of Duke, Virginia, Syracuse, and UNC should be seeded? In other words… where do the teams really and truly deserve to be seeded as of right now. Base it on the work done as of today! Not what you think happens later this week. Don’t forget to scroll down and vote relative to all four schools.

Syracuse
Duke

Let’s have some fun projecting the NCAA’s top 4 seeds for the Big Dance. This is based on what the Confidential thinks will happen… not going by “if the season ended today.” Projecting out how the regular season tournaments will finish and what the committee will actually do. We limit it to the seeded teams.
In what is now an annual tradition, the Confidential will have another bracket contest in 2014. We will give out a prize (at least one) to the winner! The prize(s) will be announced later. The more people that fill out brackets, the bigger the prize!

Oh, and good luck. You’ll need it.

As the final week of the regular season comes to a close, it’s time to return to our Tar Heel Panic-o-Meter one last time. When we last visited this concept back in early December, Carolina had an acceptable 4-2 record, with puzzling losses to Belmont and UAB. Inconsistency was the rule, not the exception, and wins at then #1 Michigan State and #11 Kentucky led to an 0-3 start in ACC play.
But a lot has changed since then- this isn’t the same team.

The Confidential has devoted a lot of time and space to the Syracuse Orange. Once 25-0 and ranked #1, this made sense. But today’s matchup between the Virginia Cavaliers and Syracuse left no doubt which team deserves the regular season crown. It’s Virginia… who rolled over Syracuse, 75-56, on the way to a 16-1 regular season and championship.
Update: With Credit to Bleedinorange44, and some further analysis by the author, here is a revised version!
With the outstanding ratings being drawn by Syracuse-Duke, the question that begs is whether the ACC can configure the schedule to allow Duke-Syracuse to play annually, without interfering with other obligations and rivalries. The Confidential has a proposal.
