Syracuse had more Top 25 and Top 50 wins and neither did anything remarkable in the ACCT. But who got into the NCAAT and who was a #1 seed in the NIT?
As I remember… That had perhaps more to do with Coach Dinosaur and the academic issues at ‘Cuse than W/Ls/RPI, etc….

It seems to me that something that might be overlooked is the fact that there are no zeros in this rankings game…
Every win is another team’s lose… so every game mathematically can be viewed as a +1 and -1…
If we win 8-9 more ACC games, then that’s 6-7 other teams that lost games to us that they never shoulda lost on paper…
so our “relative strength rankings” should increase at a cumulative, not linear, rate…
Now if We WIN 10 – get to the Semis in the ACC Tourny — THAN We Dance, regardless of the numbers…
The Kevin Keatts WOLFPACK Cinderella Story will over-ride all the numbers!!!
GO PACK!
