Conference play is in full swing for most teams. We are able to get a grip on which teams could be contenders and which teams could be pretenders. The next few weeks will be exciting as always. Virginia is making noise this year as they seem to be back to a national power. Wake Forest is another team from the ACC that could be on the rise along with Georgia Tech. Oregon State is working their way back into the national picture as well.
