[B]End of Week 2 Update[/B]

Not overly positive for the ACC.

Note the lower the difficulty number, the tougher the schedule.
Team NET's are still approximated by KP until NET is released.

The two conferences that seem to be headed to the top in the NET world are SEC and B12

Practically the SEC has been the far better conference when you consider quality games.    [I]The B12 is hanging on, not because it plays more Q4 games, but because it dominates Q4 teams better than others. [/I]  (More data below).   SEC has done way better against Q1/Q2 teams and against the other top conference.

I'll put B10 in #3.

The ACC and BE are pretty much in a tie for #4 and #5.   BE has a better margin but there schedule is way worse.  Big East has had the worst schedules so far by a decent amount.   BE has all the anomalies right now - its done well in intra-power games, and in Q1/Q2... but both in very small samples.   It also has by far the most bad losses.   ACC is doing poorly against other power conferecens, in Q1/Q2, but unlike the BE is avoiding bad losses.

MWC is far back in #6.   I'm tracking them only because of their past success.

[B]Other Info[/B]
[I]Records against other top conferences [/I]
SEC 10-5
BE 4-2
MWC 3-3
B10 6-7
B12 5-6
ACC 5-10

[I]Records in Q1/Q2 games[/I]
BE 4-1
SEC 8-6
B12 5-8
B10 5-9
ACC 4-11
MWC 2-6
This isn't close to .500 total because as noted in post above, these conferences are 1-10 against other conferences in such games.   hard to imagine.
[I]
Bad Losses[/I]
MWC 7
Big East 5
SEC, ACC 1
B10, B12 0

65% of games to date are still Q4 - outlier is Big East at 79%, while everybody else is at 58-66%
All conferences have played between 21-24% of their games against Q1/Q2 except one.   The outlier again being the Big East at only 12%.
