Message: [QUOTE="jdubs30, post: 2078950, member: 1620"] Ah - Clemson and Wake. Wake with the heavy love from RPI/SOS as they sit at 30 and 15 respectively in those. However now at 15-11 overall and 6-8 in the ACC - they face an uphill battle and have to get to at least 9-9 in the ACC to stay in the conversation. Wake with still no wins vs. the top 50 (0-8) and are a solid 5-3 vs. 51 - 100. Wake had a big time OOC schedule - Nova (N), @Northwestern, @Xavier, CofC (N), Bucknell, @Richmond. However, they only won games vs. the last 3. They have 1 top 70 win - Miami. They have also now lost to Clemson twice. They have a solid resume but the lack of top 50 wins is a killer. But their worst loss is us. Wake can prove that if you play a hard schedule, lose all the games vs. good teams, and beat teams you should beat - that the committee finds it favorable. Ultimately if they get in the tourney they will probably back in. They still need 3 more wins. Clemson is trending in Pitt territory - now 4-9 in the ACC - a loss tonight would have ended them. But they now have wins @South Carolina, @Wake, Wake and UNC Wilmingotn. In addition to solid wins vs. UGA, @Pitt, and @Alabama. 10 of their 11 losses are vs. top 86 RPI teams. They played a nice OOC schedule, but not nearly to the quality of Wake and beat a solid collection of teams - both home and away. Clemson has also proven they can win away from home - with wins @South Carolina, @Wake, @Pitt, @Alabama and Davidson on a neutral floor. They also suffered a loss vs. Xavier (N) by 6 I don't love either of the above resumes. Clemson could really use a win vs. an upper tier ACC team (they are 0-4 vs. them now) meanwhile Wake could use a win vs. ANY good team. Clemson has a nice collection of wins but lacks the big time win. Wake is an interesting case due to literally no bad wins and no bad losses [/QUOTE]
