Comparing RU and ND and was thinking about this - wow. The BIG will obviously be regarded higher than the ACC, but NDs unbalanced schedule was insanely easy even on a relative basis.

They only had to play Duke, UNC, VTech, Miami and Wake once in conference play and then lost to VTech in their tourney (2-4 in those 6 games).

Consider this - they played 4 teams with worse NETs than Nebraska twice in conference play (8 games). They played another 2 games against UofL (worse NET than every BIG team except Nebraska). That was 10 of their 20 league games and they went 9-1 in those games.

Will the committee take notice or it will be 15-5 ACC team that beat UK (IN)?

Remember that the Jesuits will be very upset if ND doesn’t get in (even though ND isn’t Jesuit). And everyone knows how crazy jesuits can be….
