Below are power ratings for ACC men's basketball games considering only the scores of games between conference members through Sunday, March 6th. The first rating takes margin of victory fully into account, while the third rating ignores it completely, looking only at wins and losses. The second rating is like the first rating, except it weighs close games, upsets and games between closely-matched teams more heavily than blow- outs of overmatched teams.
Relative Schedules is the records of the teams each team does *not* play twice (less results against the relevant team), so a poor record is indicative of a difficult schedule. Games played against the team are not counted (so, for instance, UVa's loss to Duke is not included in the entry for Duke). The second column is the road records of teams not played at home plus home records of teams not played on the road.
Just for fun, I'm including BC in this year's ratings, even though they only play one game against conference members.

Yeah, I reversed the first two. That's what I get for doing it in my sleep.
