Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 2466484, member: 1969"] I will just add 2 points to the above I agree with. If you are in the heart of the bubble the margins are small, and a quality win usually will allow you to jump a few teams. It is also highly dependent on what goes on around you. In 2016, we blew it in the ACC tourney, but the bubble that week performed very poorlu. Last year we lost, were probably still in after we lost, but then the bubble teams had a good tourney week and a few passed us. I will also say that sometimes the first ACC game could be meaningless. If it's not a quality win, it is not going to help your resume. You risk a loss, and also getting tired for that first quality win chance - I call them nuisance games. Pitt and Miami were certainly not that, but some year you could get 2-16 Pitt team or a 5-13 team in your first game. And that game does nothing for you, [/QUOTE]
