Message: [QUOTE="DoctahLexus, post: 5586643, member: 6798"] ACC teams can get away with a little more fluff in the OOC since the conference almost always has at least 3 top 10 matchups built into it, more if you get to the ACC tourney. Thats how Duke still got a home game last year despite only one good OOC win in Richmond, a fairly bad loss to a .500 Denver team, and 5 regular season losses (6 total with the loss to us in the ACC tourney). The win against us regular season and UNC in the ACC tourney were a major boost. I do not mind the route we seem to be taking next year, but it is not gauntlet or bust OOC if you are an ACC team. One of the major advantages of being in the conference. You can approach it in multiple ways when some near guaranteed top matchups are built in. If Duke beats Richmond and Harvard (who they are supposedly playing?) plus a couple ACC wins and they will be tourney bound. [/QUOTE]
