Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 5235906, member: 1969"] [B]Mid Week #2 Update[/B] As most teams have played one game between Monday-Wednesday I updated the results. Unfortunately this last set of games, especially in the NET Margin world, have been a setback for the ACC. As a reminder the lower the difficulty number the tougher the schedule. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Screenshot 2024-11-14 095734.jpg"]246765[/ATTACH] In terms of pure margin the gaps have got a little wider with every conference (B12 from 2.0 to 6.1), (B10 from 4.1 to 4.6) (SEC from 2.3 to 4.4). The ACC didn't really lose many games (fell from 88% to 87% win %), but just a lot of games where they win anywhere from 2 to 15 points against poorer opponents. Its Q4 win margin fell from 22.9 to 20.3 -- a sizable drop. I would like to update a similar table as above for all OOC last season as a point of reference, but not sure if I will have time, beyond what I already did for ACC vs B12 last year. [B]That being said right now the ACC has a margin gap of 6.1 with the B12... last year's was 6.8. [/B] And schedule adjusted (equating the schedules of both) we are probably behind where we ended vs the B12 last year. My ranking right now. 1. B12 2. SEC 3. B10 4. ACC 5. Big East 6. MWC I'd say B12/SEC are very close. B10 is clear #3. ACC and BE battle for #4/#5. MWC is not really close at all. I'd like to see the comparable for the MWC last year if I can get to it. [B]Various Tidbits[/B] - The Big East has yet to play a Q1 or Q2 game. B12 has 8, SEC 7, B10 7, ACC 6 -- and the Big East 0. - [I][U]Q4 Games are still 72% of total games so they still impact things the most so far[/U][/I]. Here is the margin in those games by conferece B12 30.0, B10 24.7, SEC 24.4, ACC 20.3, BE 18.3, MWC 13.0 The B12 seems to thrive in these games. I do wonder if they internally have something to tell its teams to push harder. But unlike last year, very early, they are doing better in tougher matchups as well. - Records in Q1/Q2 games - Best win% is B12 at 63% (5-3), We are at 1-5. B10 is the worst at 1-6. Big East has 0 zero such games amazingly. - Records vs other top conferences - Best is B12 at 5-1. SEC is 4-3. ACC is 1-3. B10 is 1-4. MWC is 2-1. [/QUOTE]
