Of course it's easier to beat a Q4 team by 20+, than a Q2 team by 10.   But for NET a Q2 win is better for you than a bottom half Q4 win of 20.    For those bottom half Q4 teams to be meaningful to increasing your NET relatively, they need to be on average at least 30.

Average margin Q4 bottom (P5) = 28.4, (30.1 excluding the ACC) 
Average margin Q2 game (P5) = 1.3

There was no solution for the ACC last year.  It was just bad.
It was terrible in Q4 games... winning the bottom feeder games by 19.4 while the other P4 was winning them by 30.1.  And it won 36% of Q2 games.

Now if the ACC became a whole bunch better, they could perhaps take advantage of the Q4 like the B12 does margin wise.   Strategies to beat up Q4 teams may be helpful  -- it is has helped the B12 a decent amount (even though they play the same % of them as everybody else).   But at the baseline the ACC needs to be a much more competent conference than the ACC was in 24/25, to try to take advantage of it.
