Not this year - to that extent anyway. The ACC is far stronger this year than last year, and that will allow for more quality wins on your resume via conference games (see the bold below)  If you do nothing stupid in ACC (no bad losses), 12-8 in the ACC should be more than enough to get you in the ACC tourney.   With the right mix, with no stupid in OOC, 11-9 in ACC might be enough.

Here is the big difference from last year:
- At the end of 2025, [B]5 ACC teams were top 60 in KP. and 7 were in top 75.[/B]  (using KP as it closely approximates NET)
- Right now, [B]the ACC has 10 teams in top 60, and 13 in top 75.   [/B]Given that top 75 road games are Q1 wins, and top 75 games are Q2 wins at home, these will allow ACC teams to accumulate much more quality resumes within conference.    (Assuming they win of course)

Of course going 11-9 or 12-8 in the ACC this year is far tougher than going 11-9 or 12-8 last year,  The conference is better.
