What does that all mean? The Big 12 has a lot of projected teams in

They are currently in the bid lead, summarized below: Big 12: 9 SEC: 7 B1G: 6 Big East: 6 ACC: 4 Pac-12: 2 9 is absurd after padding your stats against Soft-ees, but even worse is that they are all projected 9 seed or above. Not one is remotely 'bubble'. Then you have the ACC with only 4, 3 more projected out (on Bracketmatrix.com) and 1 more, VT that actually has a comparable resume to many tournament teams. There's no way the Big 12 was that much better than the ACC this year....oh wait, they did what? Went 3-9 against the ACC this year? Look at these matchups they won: BYU beat NCSt Texas beat Louisville (who hasn't?) Cincinnati beat Georgia Tech They should have won all 3 matchups, and did. The ACC won 9 and by NET rankings, 4 were upsets and 5 were to be expected. However, in those expected wins, the gap between NET rank was much smaller than in the Big 12 wins. Basically the only games the Big 12 won in head to head competition against the ACC were ones they would be heavily favored to win today. They did not produce any upsets, and they did not win any fairly even matchups. ** Edited by hoosnowahokie at 3/6/2024, 3:46:59 PM

The NET has been a little better at not being skewed badly earlier in the

They have, and most outside the ACC call it sour grapes.
