Message: [QUOTE="Zack80, post: 3000956, member: 1245"] I have doubts about this being right. The four ACC teams back then were usually pretty highly ranked, and had pretty high RPIs. Losing to a top team didn't hurt that much, and playing another top team was a large boost to the SOS. It certainly wasn't neutral for the 2nd place team, 1 win against a top team along with a loss to a top team was usually a plus. (Adding 2 top teams was a big plus for the SOS.) Perhaps this would only detrimental if your team was in the running for the #1 seed in the NCAA tmt. In the end, what did you care if two from Duke, UNC or UMd were the 2 teams to pick up losses, all you cared about was UVa. Friday night in the ACC tmt gave UVa another quality opponent on their schedule. [/QUOTE]
