[QUOTE="FredJacket, post: 784406, member: 2843"] The D1 article around the RPI thing... sort of "assumes" the RPI is the tool with a LOT of weight in the committee's decision process on post-season bids. I am not sure that is true (or not sure about how much weight).... and the committee "should" understand thoroughly... the problems inherent in the RPI calculations. Those problems have always existed and are exacerbated in 2021 (the article lays that out really well). I think what will happen this year (and maybe it has always happened) is P5s will benefit and mid-majors will be disadvantaged. The committee with sort of go with X number of SEC teams and X number of ACC teams... etc... "deserve" to be in the post-season with less emphasis on RPI. Soooo.... where you place in the conference will be huge. I'm betting 1 or 2(max) ACC teams will be a top 8 (super regional) seed. ... and 2-3 more regional hosts (top 16)... then 5-6 more in the field (not hosting). So...yes, that D1 podcast lays it out. Unless something unexpected happens, expect 10 ACC teams to go. For easy math, I'm willing to say 20 wins in the ACC (20-16) will be 'hosting a regional' territory. If you can get to 23-24 wins, I think Top 8 is possible. Obviously, there could be other factors to help/hurt; but the ACC record (including your ACC tournament performance) has to be the biggest factor in post-season placement. For Ga Tech... games against UGA and Auburn will be very big mid-weekers. It hurts to say it and I won't be pulling for this because HEART > head ... but UGA and Auburn to doing well will mean our inevitable wins over them will mean that much more. [/QUOTE]
