Can we all agree making the tournament at large is the bare minimum expectation this season

We need Texas or Tennessee as wins to get into the tourney. Both would be lock city but one I think we have to get.

Yes, and those intersectional games seemed to have gained too much sway (in my opinion) on how entire conferences are ranked against each other, as if playing good team in your own league is discounted.

I haven't understood the ACC being called the 5th, 6th or 7th best conference these past few years, when we keep getting Sweet 16 and Final Four teams.
