Message: [QUOTE="wgdsr, post: 4275107, member: 7179"] i was telling anyone that would listen pre-season it was a bad idea. 5th team fends for themselves, maybe they get a lot of great ooc wins and schedule, maybe not. does anyone know what the combined/average rpi of the b1g was in 2021? it was .500. because it has to be. in today's acc schedule, 2 of your teams are playing the worst team twice. not only that, but the other 2 teams have those 2 extra games tacked onto the opponents' opponents' record. since it's been a 5 team league and no-aq, i believe 5 teams have qualified for the nc$$ exactly once, in 2021. when the b1g played a b1g only schedule and the ivies didn't play. the numbers don't work unless you absolutely blow out ooc schedule for the league. and in that instance, they would work for 4 game schedule + tourney also. i won't be surprised if the conference struggles to get 2 or 3 teams in the next couple years.
