[QUOTE="FredJacket, post: 785651, member: 2843"] I think you make some good points...nothing wrong with your 'analysis' there. Curious your thoughts on my perspective, though. What are you concerned about? A lack of respect/appropriate 'ranking' of the ACC v the SEC... in and of itself OR do you assume any disparity in SEC favor will hurt Ga Tech substantially. If Ga Tech (at this point..highest ranked ACC team) is relying on the ACC to be better than the SEC, then that means Ga Tech will have screwed up in the future somehow...and will be lying in the bed they made. Ga Tech controls it own fate now regardless of what the other 27 teams we're talking about do. Just win most of the remaining games and Ga Tech is a national seed. Its way too early...lots of baseball left; but we are off to an outstanding start and in driver's seat to be regular season ACC champs, Coastal champs... and a national seed. I hate to put it this way; but truly everything good is ours for the taking... or we've let someone else take it from us. I don't care too much about the SEC v ACC... except if it really does hurt Ga Tech...and I think your point(s) in most years and for other ACC teams "may" have some validity. I mentioned in another post that I'm really curious how the committee will approach their deliberations. RPI is flawed and more so this year. Rankings are flawed for the biases you pointed out... and likewise, the committee surely has flaws as they bring biases too. We simply don't know how to quantify all that... and I can't think of any remedy. I'm good with both conferences being ELITE. When a 14-team conferences get 9-11 teams in the postseason, that means it is an elite conference and we're really splitting hairs over which conference is 'better' at that point. Ga Tech plays (in non-covid times) at least 5 games per season v SEC opponents. Again... take care of your business. CIRCLE those games v UGA (2 games) and Auburn (1 game).. this season. While you're at it, circle Ga State.. we need to get that loss back as best we can. Further... be Ga State FANS! They play a lot of SEC teams... in fact, one tonight (Florida)... a Ga State win helps Ga Tech! Something fun to follow... can we beat (have at least one win over) every team on our schedule? Mathematically, that is quite possible right now. If we do that, we'll have a pretty nice RPI. I would argue any biases are program/team related more than conference related. In addition to all the biases pointed out already... There's a Louisville bias. They are still in top 10 after going 1-3 last week. There's a Ga Tech bias... moved up 5 spots after a .500 week (2-2).
