Current things about NET that don't pass the eye test:

The ACC won more than 4% more of its out of conference games this year than the Pac12, which is rated higher.

The ACC is within about 2/3 of a point in terms of OOC winning percentage compared to the Big East.  The Big East is the 4th rated conference and the ACC is 7th.  Although, that might be the end of last year / beginning of this year.

As I'm looking online right now, it looks like as of yesterday, the ACC's aggregate NET is now 5th among conferences, having passed the Pac12 and the Mountain West.

My original point, which still stands, is that any one game does not have a huge impact on your chances to get into the tournament, because everybody is still winning and losing more games, and these things are dynamic.

A "Bad" loss to Florida State may be vindicated by their current form vs. ACC opponents continuing, while previously "Good" wins may not hold up over the whole season.
