[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 270834, member: 322"] Solely from the ACC tourney point of view is what I was thinking. The ACC tourney is basically going to be like hockey to determine the few teams who are eliminated. Then getting to the tourney if there are no byes for the 1 seed, there is little advantage for the one seed. Louisville will (unfairly) have a home field advantage regardless of their record. The ACC needs to rotate the location of the tourney around ----- unless it is permanently ATL of course. For the rest of the teams, it will be a [SIZE=1]small[/SIZE] incentive to be the #1 seed so you don't have as tough a road to the final four of the ACC tourney. But once you get down to the four teams, it really doesn't matter. What I hadn't thought about was the implications for the NCAA. I would guess that this ACC format devalues the NCAA in deciding whether a team makes the cut or not to get into the NCAA tourney. The RPI and key head to head series should be the controlling factor, which is pretty much the way it is today. I remember the D1 pod cast people joking about how the SEC tourney was a participation event; now the ACC is too. [/QUOTE]
