I just don’t feel like that’s a big problem. If you beat 3 good OOC teams, that means you’re more competitive. Years ago, teams would play cupcake OOC schedules and get into the tournament by generally being .500 in conference (at least for the ACC). The arguments back then were all about OOC SOS to matter more. If that is the case, then that should raise the importance of early season games.Clemson was a NCAAT lock because of their OOC success. NET basically sets the conferences before conference play begins. Clemson was nothing special in ACC play. Clemson lost 3 of it's last 4 conference games to ND, Wake and BC, not impressive but they were considered a lock all season based on OOC play. That is the built in bias in the NET. Conference play is not nearly as important as OOC play.
