Game over, all chips on the Deacs today.
The three losses mentioned all came while the NCAA was claiming Wake's starting center was ineligible to play.The committee does not calculate bids by league. Each team stands on its own, as it should be. Some years the ACC might get 8 bids, some years 4.
This really isn't that hard. Don't suck in the OOC schedule. People are going bonkers because Clemson is still a lock to get into the tournament. In addition to winning at UNC, they had a great OOC record. WF did not. Pitt did not. UVA's was middling. If you want to go the lame SEC/Big 10 football route and guarantee a certain number of bids per conference, advocate for that (BTW, that's a really stupid system IMO), but otherwise, don't lose to Utah, UGA and LSU in the OOC part of your schedule; don't play a bunch of teams rated 300 and below.
FWIW, WF is probably in with a win over Pitt, but to just blindly say the ACC is the best conference or in the top 3, when the conference sucked when it played other conferences really makes no sense.
People keep mentioning this, but our resume is what we accomplished, not what we hypothetically could have accomplished. Kansas could have hypothetically won the Big 12 tournament with a healthy Hunter Dickinson and Kevin McCuller and gotten a #1 seed, but instead they lost in the 1st round to Cincy without those players.The three losses mentioned all came while the NCAA was claiming Wake's starting center was ineligible to play.
Sure but the committee isn't going to punish Kansas for losing that game without their best two players from a seeding perspective. I would imagine that missing players is always a consideration at large for the committee, but the degree to which they will have a talk specifically about Efton Reid and Wake - no ideaPeople keep mentioning this, but our resume is what we accomplished, not what we hypothetically could have accomplished.

What are you talking about? Losses and wins affect your seeding, that’s not a punishment. You should know better than anyone that it’s based on analytics - you get credited for playing better than predicted, and you get demerited for playing worse than predicted.Sure but the committee isn't going to punish Kansas for losing that game without their best two players from a seeding perspective.
I mean the committee isn't going to drop Kansas a seed for losing without their best two playersWhat are you talking about? Losses and wins affect your seeding, that’s not a punishment.

WHAT IF, one of those players was Jordan Travis though? MAKES YOU WONDER!I mean the committee isn't going to drop Kansas a seed for losing without their best two players
If other programs, who are competing with Kansas for that seed line, outperform their expectation, then Kansas might very well drop, and that’s not even referencing the hypothetical of what they could have accomplished, just as our losses earlier prevented us from advancing in a tournament and playing a more difficult schedule. Every team has hypotheticals.I mean the committee isn't going to drop Kansas a seed for losing without their best two players
Right. There's a problem with Wake Forest sports that leads to the same things happening year to year with a few exceptions like baseball last season and football in 2021. Otherwise it's the same story.It's actually very impressive how consistently on-brand the Wake Forest athletic fan experience is. You'd think there would be some eventual variation.
