Twenty-four teams have better national title odds than the Wolfpack, according to this super early glimpse from the Westgate. These odds imply that the ACC is going to be incredibly tough next season--UNC and UVA are title favorites with Kentucky, while Duke, Louisville, Notre Dame, Miami, and Syracuse all have title odds as good or better than 60-1. So that's eight ACC teams in this odds-based top-30.

Stuff's gonna change with roster movement, but whatever. Such a deep league sounds like fun. Reminds me of the good old days, and when I say good old days, I mean 2004.
