ACC Basketball power rankings: Syracuse drops after two straight losses

Record: 22-1 (11-0)
Last week's results: Win 74-64 vs. Louisville; Win 59-44 at Syracuse
Last week's ranking: 1
Outlook: The ACC's unbalanced schedule has nothing to do with why Virginia is going to win the league's regular-season title. But it has helped eliminate any drama from the chase. The four teams that Virginia had to play twice were Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech, Syracuse and Louisville.

It's almost impossible to imagine the Cavaliers blowing a three-game lead, especially after two more double-digit wins this week. Sports Illustrated offered its guarantee with this headline after Virginia beat Louisville: Virginia has locked up the ACC after only one month.
