What's this?

I think the focus on ACC's early out of conference losses was justified.

The conference was bad compared to other top conferences in OOC play. 21-33 vs the other power 7 conferences (before the ncaa tournament) is just not a good look. Plus only 3-8 vs the A-10.
Not everything sucked (for example, the acc vs b10 wasn't as lopsided as we were led to believe). As the season went on, teams in the acc certainly got better, but by that point it was just acc vs acc. What else should the conference be judged on other that Win and Losses vs other conferences?

I guess if a conference wants to avoid this to show that their teams got better as the season goes on, then more out of conference games would need to be scheduled for Jan/Feb. I wouldn't necessarily be a fan of that, but it would allow teams to better show that they made growth.

Yeah, the ACC shouldn't get an autobid -- Pylons 03/26/2022 12:14PM

I think the focus on early games and Net tiers make for more bad picks -- marcbvtgm 03/26/2022 4:01PM

But on the other hand, they ignored how teams were playing down the stretch -- EDGEMAN 03/26/2022 11:56AM

The main problem was. -- vtbball80 03/26/2022 3:38PM

I agree. VT only getting in by winning the acc was crazy. Michigan getting -- brcook1 03/26/2022 12:15PM

If It Was -- Jomonelson 03/26/2022 11:26AM

I'm sure there are other metrics that can be reviewed other than OOC record -- VPI_1998 03/26/2022 10:16AM

For all the data behind the NET, does it actually matter? -- HokieAl 03/26/2022 10:45AM

But if we use NET, as the metric then we all have to admith that not only -- brcook1 03/26/2022 11:01AM

I think they mis-used the NET metric -- EDGEMAN 03/26/2022 11:57AM
