Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 4483370, member: 1969"] The reason poor OOC play as a conference matters is that there in an inherent multiplier factor that comes up when you only start playing yourself. What ends up happening is there are many teams from the top 3 or 4 conferences that end up in the top 50 in the NET, and much less from the next group of conferences. Makes it much easier to get quality wins and avoid bad losses. As you see from the charts below, there is a significant difference from the top 3 and the rest. First chart is NET, second is RPI. I know that .55 vs .57 does not look huge, but that is actually a very large gap when you are familiar with the numbers. The good thing for the ACC is that there are only 3 conferences separating themselves this year, so could open a bid. The Big East has not been this bad in a number of years.
