Trying to make these first set of ACC games be interesting.

Whether people like the system or not, how the ACC plays in its out of conference games will have a massive impact on our resume, especially if we are a bubble team

And another whether you like it or not, the NET and its downflow impacts into conference play are impacted heavily by margin against not so great opponents. especially Q4 opponents. as the majority of teams in any power conference play many games against weak Q4 teams (B12 may play the most, but its substantial for everybody). This week all the power conferences are going to do well win% wise-- but the margin in these likely Q4 games impact things a fair bit and are a differentiator. For both Syracuse and ACC we have to be competitive margin wise this week.

Target Margin for this Week's Games. We can add up the results of all the games "net" and see how they do against the target (I'll explain my methodology in probably a separate thread, but these are margins we should want our ACC teams to win by)

Monday Games
All winnings margins unless otherwise noted
Stanford 17 (Denver)
Duke 27 (Maine)
Clemson 21 (Charleston Southern)
Florida St 10 (Northern Kentucky)
Louisville 18 (Morehead St)
Miami 26 (Fairleigh Dickinson)
NC St 26 (USC Update)
Pitt 20 (Radford)
Syracuse 23 (Lemoyne)
Boston College 18 (Citadel)
Virginia Tech 18 (Delaware St)
Wake Forest 31 (Coppin St)
SMU 14 (Tarleton St)
UNC 27 (Elon)
Cal 12 (Cal St Bakersfield)
Target Minimum Margin = 308 Pts

Note the 308 Pts only "maintains" our current KP standing, which is already on average about 3.5 points worse than an average B12 team. So ideally, we get closer to 350 as a conference. Anything below 308 is not good.

Three games each on Wednesday and Thursday but the ACC Network is not showing any of them?I know they are on the extra but why not the main station!

They only care about Duke and UNC

Well, in fairness, they all look like blowouts anyway.
 
The half time results for 7:00 games (+Stanford Game) have been very strong for the ACC, except for one team. May not like it, but margin in these mismatches matters in the NET world when you assess how the conference did as a whole.

Both the ACC and B12 played about the same number of games against the real bottom feeders last year (Sub 260 NET)... but the B12 had an extra margin of 8 points in this games, which was the biggest differentiator between the conferences in terms of performance. Don't have to like that it drives things, but it does when teams play over 40% of their games against Q4 in OOC.

Of course if we stink it doesn't really matter what people do around us... I'm just looking in the view of where we might have been xpected to be year end.
