Why would the committee give Wake extra credit for beating "P5" teams when they played 21 of 23 of those games against ACC schools.   ACC did not play to the level of any P5 league out of conference except the Pac 12.

In the out of conference season they played at the level of the P12, the WCC, and MWC.   In the OOC season the ACC played nowhere near the SEC, B12, B10, Big East.   This is not disputable.  The data is clear.

Overall NET -- there are 4 clear top conferences that dominated the seeds.   Deservedly so.  Why would the ACC expect the same "P5" respect as those.    ACC Net and non-conference Winning Percentage was closer to the MWC and WCC.

Good OOC Wins are out of conference wins against teams that ended up seeded #12 or better.
Bad OOC Losses are out of conference Q3 and Q4 Losses

Once again it is pretty clear who the peers of the ACC were in out of conference this year.   And before claiming all those WCC wins were by Gonzaga, they had 3 of the 9.    Comparably Duke had 2 of the 6 for the ACC.

All the actual good "P5" conferences did not blow games left and right and actually won some quality games.    The ACC did what the WCC and MWC basically did.
