Message: [QUOTE="domestu, post: 4941803, member: 1089"] People need to understand that a NCAA bid does not depend on how many games you win. The NET rankings and quad system revolves around the quality of your opponents and who you beat. The ACC was not a strong conference last year and this season is looking somewhat similar. Only two ACC schools are currently ranked higher than 40 in the NET rankings. Clemson won 23 games last season and went 14-6 (tied for 3rd) in league play, and didn't make the Big Dance. They just didn't have quality wins. If SU lost the four games you list as probable losses, we would be 0-9 in Quad 1 contests and our NET ranking would probably remain too low to get us into the NCAAs even if we won all 10 of our other remaining conference games. Instead of hoping for a certain number of victories, start focusing on SU's ranking and looking at teams we need to beat to get quality wins. Go Cuse! [/QUOTE]
