Just to show the conference effect.

The first chart is from Warren Nolan -- it is conferences ranked by RPI.  ACC is #6 -- and while I know .552 looks close to .566 and .584, its actually a big difference.   You will see that below.

I would have preferred to use NET by I haven't found a good live rankings by conference for them.   And on a group scale / conference scale RPI probably approximates NET quite closely.

The next two tables are from Bartorvvik, which admittedly is something new to me so I am not giving them 100% confidence yet.   But the tables below effectively show the impact of your conference struggling in OOC.

Below are projected NET and quadrant records of B12 and ACC schools.   I wouldn't get swayed by individual school rankings.   Instead focus on the circled amounts -- these are Q1 games.  ACC schools are getting much less opportunities as I was expecting.  And this hurts teams come Selection Sunday.

I only pulled the B12 -- I am sure if I did the same for the BE, BIG, and SEC it would be at least the same, and most likely more.  If requested I can paste those.
