And that only works if the ACC as a whole does well OOC. The inbred ACC schedule hurt the ACC in 2022.Powellfan22 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 08, 2024 12:08 pmDon't think that holds, they played two extra ACC games last year, which would be the same they play this year.10stone5 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 08, 2024 11:53 amDuke will also get a year end boost with the renewed ACC tournament,JeremyCuse wrote: ↑Mon Jan 08, 2024 11:32 amMaryland and Cornell already have a pretty loaded OOC but not adding at least another upper level teams seems bizarre.

Re: 2024 Schedules
That schedule is soft AF. Like, stunningly soft AF. Letting the ACC schedule pretty much do all of the work. It's a schedule that is perfect to roll up big scores and high point totals. If they lose 3 ACC games, their SOS is going to drag them to the bubble. Risky schedule from that perspective, IMO. But hey...at least they'll get some eye popping stats and hype after pummeling Bellarmine, Jacksonville, and the like! YAY!!!JeremyCuse wrote: ↑Mon Jan 08, 2024 11:32 amMaryland and Cornell already have a pretty loaded OOC but not adding at least another upper level teams seems bizarre.

Non conference they have five top 20 teams scheduled add to that Loyola/Jacksonville/St Joe’s and HPWheels wrote: ↑Mon Jan 08, 2024 11:58 pmThat schedule is soft AF. Like, stunningly soft AF.

Who of those 9 are soft AF?
Re: 2024 Schedules
what dings(ed) the league was bringing in 2 extra games for the 5th place team. it was unnecessary post-covid and the coaches aren't good at math. when you start wringing things out to 2 or 3 decimal places and then records are counted 2 and 3 times in a formula, it matters. all intraconference cumulative records will be .500.Powellfan22 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 08, 2024 12:08 pmDon't think that holds, they played two extra ACC games last year, which would be the same they play this year.10stone5 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 08, 2024 11:53 amDuke will also get a year end boost with the renewed ACC tournament,JeremyCuse wrote: ↑Mon Jan 08, 2024 11:32 amMaryland and Cornell already have a pretty loaded OOC but not adding at least another upper level teams seems bizarre.

then you throw in that it can (and did) cause havoc to the early season scheduling, when ooc teams are available and traditional weekends have been set up. then you have to wait for the accn to tell you what weekends early or late they want you playing games. for 'cuse as an example, it absolutely affected getting army scheduled, and probably cornell as well.
it was a cluster.
Re: 2024 Schedules
agreed. what you want/need to best position your schedule is 8-9 top 20 games. there's probably a v good chance they hit that number with their schedule. like, a great chance. and it's not much different and likely better than most of their non-covid schedules the last 10 years. when was the last time they played a b1g team, a decade ago? selfishly, i was hoping they'd run it back with psu, but alas.Laxbuck wrote: ↑Tue Jan 09, 2024 1:08 pmNon conference they have five top 20 teams scheduled add to that Loyola/Jacksonville/St Joe’s and HPWheels wrote: ↑Mon Jan 08, 2024 11:58 pmThat schedule is soft AF.
