I said "Big10/12/SEC with worse resumes", A&M and Missouri

are both now in the SEC, Tex Tech and OK State are Big12, and Michigan Big 10 were worse than those 2 ACC teams. None of them are as good as Va Tech and NC State who had a much tougher row to hoe and the RPI bore that out. In fact Va Tech (11-5-3) had a better record than all of them and NC State at 10-8-1 was at par, beat NC and played us tough in the 1st round of the ACC tournament.

The ACC and PAC12 were the only truly difficult conferences top to bottom and they were the only ones that had several elite teams on the top, especially the ACC. The lower teams in their conference beat each other up and have difficulties getting results against the top teams in the conference. The PAC12 bottom 6 weren't deserving. Stiil the ACC definitely should have had those 2 more teams in. I would have dropped A&M and OK State.
