2016 Confidential Bracket Contest Update: After Round 2

The big news is that six–count them…. six–ACC schools are in the Sweet Sixteen.  Whatever label is put on the SEC for football, the ACC’s basketball dominance is even greater.  This makes sense in a league with outstanding coaching from top to bottom (well, Boston College… sigh).  Congrats to the league for making itself into a true hoops powerhouse.  In any event, here is the top 25 in the Confidential’s Bracket Contest:
