With Syracuse's win over 15-seed Middle Tennessee State on Sunday, the ACC officially had six teams moving on to the Sweet 16. That's a new record for most teams to represent a conference that late in the tournament.

The competition they've played hasn't exactly been top-notch, but that's still an impressive feat. ESPN's Brett Edgerton notes the seeds all the ACC teams have beaten.
If Cuse wins, ACC will have a record 6 teams in Sweet 16. Best seed win? 7-seed Dayton. Ws over 7, 9, 9, 11, 11, 12, 13, 14, 14, 15, 16, 16.

The ACC could realistically make up the entire Final Four as it has a representative in each region. I doubt that will happen, but that would be a pretty cool piece of history to have for a conference.
