There is no "magic" number of wins.   However, there is a number of wins that if we reach we will likely have built a good enough resume.   Subtle but important difference.

I have always said 9 wins, with no bad loss in first game of ACC is likely that magic resume number.  It moves our RPI from a projected mid 60's to low to mid 50's.   And that is big -- while RPI is far from the end all, once you are in the 60's it's my opinion is that it is hard to get a fair look at the rest of your resume.

If for some reason we are still deemed a little short early in selection week, then we need something [U]relevant[/U] to help us in the last week to sway the committee -- and being forced to play an extra game against BC is worthless if we are looking for something to add to our resume.   It does not add top 50, top 100 record.   Number of total wins is an irrelevant metric.    So as the prior poster said, such a game is clearly a no win proposition because while it has zero chance of helping us, it could take us out with a loss.
