It seems the biggest problem with .NET is that it believes that teams and players are incapable of improving during the season....so the ratings earned in Nov and Dec tend to compound points you are able to earn come Jan and Feb.
According to .NET, the ACC ranks the following, with the ACC standing in parenthesis.
1 - Duke at 22 (5th place)
2 - UVA at 29 (3rd place)
3 - Miami at 34 (2nd place)
4 - NCState at 42 (6th place)
5 - UNC at 45 (7th place)
6 - Pitt at 53 (1st place)
7 - Clemson at 62 (4th place)
If Clemson beats Notre Dame Saturday, or UNC beats Duke, then Clemson gets a double-bye in the ACCT, but still may not make the NCAAT because, for whatever reason, the selection committee and .NET loves the Big 10. The .NET has Ohio State essentially even with Clemson at 64....but Ohio State is 4-14 in Big 10 play and 12-17 overall.
On ACCPM this week they pointed out that since 1990, the Big 10 has received 196 NCAAT bids and won only one NCAAT, which was Michigan State in 2000.....23 years ago. I know that winning the entire thing does not reflect the quality of the overall conference, but really they have not done well as a whole in the NCAAT and you would think they would have more than one title over 30+ years. I am just not sure how you justify sending 9 Big 10 teams and 5 ACC teams again this year.
