I looked at recent ACC history and the closest I see comparable is Vatech last year and Miami 2 seasons ago that both went 10-8 in conference and they both won an ACC tourney game, but both went to the NIT...Vatech had 18 reg season wins and Miami was 20-12 before ACC tourney...Both had at least 1 ok OOC win...but the ACC was ranked 3rd best conference both years and is first this year...The NCAA committee is so subjective these days and its hard for bubble teams...The bubble however is very weak  as the above poster said lots of under .500 conf teams ...and lots of 13 and 14 win teams...Dont forget if this is totally by the numbers  then Monmouth is a good OOC win...If they wanna just look at the name and downgrade, then as I posted before the 3 old rivals who have name value must be upgraded to acceptable losses...again how does the NCAA committee see it...cant have it both ways

All that said...I gotta think that all the OOCC wins by other teams is offset by bad In conference records ...and our OOC record is offset by a good ACC record...I think in the best conference we get in at 11-7 in ACC...That would have us beating at least 1 of the top teams and getting some road wins...I said before last night we need to at least split with VA and Duke, split games with LVille...and we can lose 1 other somewhere...3 losses rest of way...That path would be really doable and good for NCAA...(prob need to avoid pitt or clemson loss and
