If the ACC loses 2 teams, they will likely lose a lot more than that, so no use in worrying about anything one way or the other. Just enjoy the great 2013-14 seasons in FB and BB, and then see what happens beyond that.

I don’t like losing either but I’m a competitor. You’ll never win ALL of the games ALL of the time no matter how hard you play. I would much rather play in a conference with good teams than weak teams. It appears some have even forgotten the old C-USA before all of the good teams left.
As for seeding a #1 & #2 are usually in the mix of the final four while #8 and lower are usually home watching on TV. The higher the seed the best your chances are for advancing. This isn’t best of 7 or 2 out of 3, it’s win or go home.
I’d much rather play ranked teams during the season than be in a position like we are now with the last ranked team played was in December. Winning is hard but trying to win out after Louisville is harder.
And bad part is we won’t get much credit for it even if we do.

I don't know how much fun-but it'll be interesting to say the least when we are 9-6 in conference and 4 way tied for first.
So you prefer to go 16-0 in a crap league and not have any games that we can afford to lose? Not as much fun to me. There will still be plenty of easier games with DePaul, Seton Hall, SMU. Houston, etc. I prefer loud sellout crowds at home with the outcome in doubt.
Didn't say that at all. Maybe fun for you-very nerve wracking for me.
Definitely interesting Wins will be sweeter. Losses will give me ulcers.
With every loss, we'll have to suffer 10,000,000 told ya sos and "you don't really belongs".
That's not going to be good for my stomach lining.

Put Gtown, Cincy, Ville, Nova etc on our home schedule and you'd be surprised how short the drive is and how cheap the parking will be for our students.
