1.   Wake Forest didn't miss the tournament because of the media analysts.  It did not get in because of the metrics the committee uses to evaluate bubble teams.   It has 1 Q1 win.

2.   Literally nobody that actually looked at things said the ACC was so weak because of its performance in 14 games against the ACC.

See how ridiculously high that number of 17 is compared to other conferences (and how low the wins are as well).  We had way too many schools (about 9 of them) do really stupid things out of conference that smeared the analytics.   None of those losses were against BIG schools.

3.  The analysis of the ACC had nothing to do with the ACC beating each other.    That is silly,   Every conference after January 1 only beat up against each other.   [B]The problem is  conferences that do well OOC beat each other and somebody will get a Q1 win.    When your conference stinks in OOC people beat each other and you get Q2 wins or worse some Q3 losses[/B].  This can't be overstated enough.  That is what kills bids and seedings.

4.  What is more important for Syracuse moving forward is not that Duke/UNC do well at the tournament.   Its that the ACC's middle and bottom do better.  Because we are not currently a top teams -- we are team that is fighting for bids.
