NCAA Selection Process and Bubble Team

Would we have had a better chance of getting in if we had replaced 2-3 of the worst OOC teams on our schedule with top 30-50 teams, but lost those games? It almost seems like we would have but that doesn't make that much sense to me - why does it matter if your schedule is stronger if you lost those games?

Yes. Definitely, absolutely a better chance if we go 1-2 against those teams ranked 30-50, which would be teams similar in strength to VT, Davidson, ND
 
Iowa (5 seed) gets beaten by Richmond (12 seed) and UNC trounces Marquette. Big East more teams than ACC, Big Ten 9 teams?
 
Indiana gets beat by almost 30 points by St Mary’s. Below 500 team in Big Ten….
 
As it stands right now there will be 4 ACC teams in the Sweet 16 and only 1 (Michigan) and maybe 2 ( Purdue if they win). 4 out 5 ACC teams make Sweet 16 and 1maybe 2 out of 9 Big Ten Teams Wake has been royalty shafted by the basketball gods and selection committee. How the NCAA selection committee lets barely above 500 teams or below 500 in league play teams from the Big Ten into the tournament is horrible.
 
Three ACC teams ya drunkard. But still impressive.

Can't really make the under .500 conference record argument a thing since both Michigan and Iowa State are in the Sweet 16. Main thing is it's getting harder and harder to judge these conferences against each other since conference play occupies 2/3 of the schedule now (especially when you count conference tournaments).

The ACC was perceived to be down this year from the preseason onwards. Unfortunately the conference as a whole didn't do enough in the non conference to change that perception, and probably just ended up doing even more damage

The ACC should drop ooc games and just play a full home and home schedule! 28 conference, 4 warmup occ games. Suck it, committee.
