Look you guys can complain about NET all you want but the committee has shown and said many times that NET ranking matters.  It isn't the end all be all but it is high on their list of things they look at.

You guys can hold on to that magical mark of 20 wins as some measure of greatness. However, in the eyes of the committee, 20 wins mean nothing.  It is all about that matrics now.

In the scale of tournament or bust the magic number of 20 wins means very little.

We have 4 big games left, those 4 games and no bad losses is all that matters now.  We need to probably win 3 out of 4 to have a solid path to the tournament.  Outside chance 2 out of 4 puts us on the bubble.  Again that means we have to win a lot of games in the ACC because those conference games will only hurt our NET ratings if they are losses they will not carry much weight as wins.

Outside shot one of those bottom ACC teams wins enough games that they rise in the rankings and could help but more likely they all beat up on each other.
