Wake Forest dropped…. 2 spots in the NET. Their resume metrics (their calling card this year) went relatively unchanged. Dropped 2 spots in SOR, but resume average at 37 after being 35 yesterday.

I don’t mean to start a cycle of cynicism and defeat, but do you think Wake still has chance at tourney? I thought I understood you to say Wake needed to go 4-1 (at Duke) in last podcast. Was that incorrect?
I don't understand the sky-has-fallen-vibe in parts of the fanbase. If we win our home games and lose at Duke we close the ACC season at 14-6 and 7-3 in to end the regular season. That's a 22-9 record that will largely validate the metric story to date. Win one ACCT game and I think we're in. Agree?
Sounds like a pretty similar resume to what we had in 2021-22 when we didn’t get in. The strength of schedule just isn’t there. Really needed to be perfect in Q3/Q4. I don’t think yesterday meant much - our season was pretty much over with the FSU loss.
But this is kind of the point: it wasn’t. the people who are pouring a ton of time into the brackets and have been right year over year disagreed with this sentiment and today have Wake still in. So (and being respectful here) am I supposed to go with the people doing the work or the feelings?
I think we agree the likeliest scenario is 23-9 with one, maybe two ACCT wins, right? I just don’t see that getting us in, just as it didn’t in ‘21-22.
