The ACC Tournament began Tuesday in Greensboro, North Carolina and neither kings of the ACC, neither Duke nor North Carolina, are the favorites to win the tournament.
Florida State is considered the top possible team to win the ACC. The Seminoles are favorite at +200, according to BetRivers Sportsbook. They are nationally ranked at seventh and have a record of 26-5. The number two team that is favored to win is Duke with a +225 in future odds but enters the ACC tournament as the fourth seed.

North Carolina, the other top dog of the ACC, is no longer considered strong this year with a 14-18 record. Tar Heels’ coach Roy Williams has even said that they are least talented team he has ever coached in her career while at North Carolina. They are only considered a very poor +3000 future odds to win the ACC. FanDuel Sportsbook has UNC at +2300. Unless the Tar Heels win the ACC, they are most likely going to miss the big dance at the end of March the NCAA Tournament.
