Clemson beats Alabama in the football national championship game.<\/p>\n

Now South Carolina has eliminated Duke from the NCAA basketball tournament.<\/p>\n

So, have we all had it wrong? Is the ACC a football league and the SEC a basketball conference?<\/p>\n

I wouldn’t go that far just yet, but there’s no questioning the fact that the SEC has had a better tournament than the ACC so far in this tournament.<\/p>\n

While eight of the nine ACC teams have been eliminated, the SEC still has three of its five entrants alive in the Sweet 16.<\/p>\n

Put another way, the Vegas line for SEC wins in the NCAA tournament was 5 and a half. The league has already notched seven wins, with Kentucky, Florida and South Carolina still very much in the hunt to add to that total.<\/p>\n

We may not even have to wait for the Final 4 to see the best of each conference square off. With one more win each, North Carolina and Kentucky will meet in Memphis.<\/p>\n

A win by the Wildcats wouldn’t make the SEC the kings of college basketball. But it would certainly eliminate the once-vaunted ACC from consideration.<\/p>\n
