Nice posts.  I do something similar since 2009, but I track only the scheduled games amongst the P6 plus.  The "plus" every year includes UConn (previously in P6), Gonzaga, Wichita State, Cincy (previously in P6) and Memphis (although I am starting to rethink this one since Pastner left) as well as year specific non-P6 teams that are in the AP Top 25 by the end of the first full week in December AND in Pomeroy's Top 50 list at that same time.  This year's early candidates are St. Mary's (seems to be a lock) with Rhode Island and Dayton having an outside shot of being in the "plus" category.

The ACC has 43 games scheduled (possibly 44 if Rhode Island makes the final cut) of which only 5 have been played with a record of 2-3.

The Big East this year has already played 15 opponents in the P6 and have a 9-6 record against them.   They still have 23 more games scheduled against such opponents.  That's 38 teams in the P6 plus category for a 10 team league.  It's too early to say how well they will finish OOC, but they are definitely off to a great start and if it continues could get 1 or 2 teams bids that might otherwise have had one, simply by doing well in the Big East conference regular season.

Cheers,
Neil
