[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 871591, member: 1776"] While I would have enjoyed more ACC teams getting in, especially Wake - if you look at the Wake's resume they did not deserve a bid over the bubble teams that got in, it simply did not measure up. They had one of the worst OOC SOS in the entire country (343 out of 351) and only beat 2 likely Tourney teams, both at home, the entire season. The ACC's big problem this year was that it lost the vast majority of its non conference games against power conference teams (heck it was like 2-7 against the A10). When you do that your teams are not getting wins they need on their resume to get picked in March. Teams are not picked based on their conference (conference records aren't even included as a metric the committee gets), they are picked based on their individual resume's. Unfortunately, the ACC's teams poor performances in Nov and Dec hurt their ability to get bids in March. As usual the B10 underperformed in March. The ACC as happens more often than not overperformed. It's good for the ACC and its good for GT (more money for league members). If the ACC wants more teams in next year its teams have to do better against the power conference opponents it plays before conference play starts. During the regular season the ACC had the worst record of all the power conferences against other power conferences and that is ultimately why it got fewer teams in. Unfortunately the ACC teams performances in the Tourney don't erase the fact that during the season ACC teams performed really poorly when they played teams from other conferences and the committee bases its decisions on teams by how they performed during the season, not how a conference performs in the post-season.
